Halloween became more of an adult holiday -- had good weather. As a kid, I recall many a Halloween where I had to wear a coat over my costume.
Well, it looks like the South is trying to make me feel at home. We had great weather last week, and last weekend and will have good weather after Wednesday. But yesterday, today, and tomorrow are COLD. We actually have frost warnings.
According to Facebook, it is snowing in Chicago today. It also snowed 9 years ago on Halloween. I remember our decorations being covered in snow and trick-or-treaters showing up with coats.
We have discovered that going to my in-laws' subdivision for trick-or-treating is the best option. The houses are closer together and there are sidewalks. Our subdivision is comprised of homes with 1-2 acres of land and no sidewalks.
Our first year my Brother in Law Jethrow told us that no one trick-or-treat until after dark. Unfortunately, he didn't tell us until the last minute.

Last Friday we went to Marshall's Steakhouse to celebrate my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary. The planning had been in the works for quite some time. We did a last minute switch from the Bass Pro Shop to Marshall's because 1) ostensibly the food is terrible there and 2) Memphis at night is scary for some white people.

I've set the comments up to allow anonymous users -- but I'd love it if you "signed" your comments (as some of my readers have done) just so you have an identity of sorts.
