for sharing family memories. They made me smile.

Brings back a lot of memories of what it used to be like. Thanks DG for the wonderful story.

Plus something about rock salt and watermelons ... but no one would remember that.

It's always fun to take a journey down memory lane.

Here I am, all prepared to be scared, and instead you gifted us with a sentimental trip down memory lane. This brought tears to my eyes. My dad would stand for hours, giving candy and pennies to the children on Halloween. I miss him.

I have to say you just put Halloween back up were it belongs, a time to give some fun and enjoyment to all involved. Since my wife passed away I had forgotten some of the fun times that each year has. Your wife’s story brought moisture to these old reprobates eyes.

Fantastic and the memories are ripe.

Have to love the little amusing snippets of life everyone has to tell. Thanks for sharing yours.

I enjoyed this one very much. It shows that you still have it.

and I remember some of that. I lived in a small town in the forties, and we used to go around trick or treating, usually in a crowd. It was fun, and I especially remember the lady who gave out popcorn balls. Now, she would be arrested for that. I don't remember "Help the Poor". we always hollered out "Trick or treat".

Rarely do I read a story about halloween that was so sweet and funny. You did a wonderful job with it.

are often the true ones; those told around the kitchen table at midnight or after a holiday meal. Thank you for sharing some of your family's stories about Halloween.

This gives an Aussie insight into what this Halloween malarky is all about. Thank you.

Execellent yarns. Post more.

I lived in those days of the father's story of the Ham Bone. Went to the family friends' houses, but mostly got one piece of candy. Nobody started wrapping candy until about 1945 or so. Story well told. I had to dry my eyes several times to get through it. Well done. ( As are almost all of your stories.

I enjoyed the heartfelt stories. I had to laugh at myself. I've read so many 'loving wives' stories of late I kept on expecting to read someone's wife or girlfriend was unfaithful. It didn't matter that DG Hear warned there was no sexual stuff. Those types of stories can mess your head. So glad that this story was a welcomed break. Thanks!

Thanks for the human-kindness stories.
