Hallowe'en! One of my favorite times of year. I love the colors, the early darkness, spook-a-lanterns and ghosties.I can remember going house to house for treats, and having to stop at home to drop off my pillowcase to get another one, as the first was too heavy! My dad always made popcorn, (this was pre-micro days..1960) and the kids wold always want to hit Luttrell's early, as to not miss that treat. The rectory would always give out chocolate, and one old couple Mr. and Mrs. Hess would always give out an apple and two spiced wafers. No need to check for razors or pins in those sub-urb Philadelphia days.... we knew everyone in that big Catholic parish!
