Almost Halloween, 

   Sitting here this morning thinking about the wiener roast coming up this sat. and hoping it doesn't rain sat.  but they keep adding more rain on . I am thinking about trick or treating when the children were small, and I wouldn't let them go by theirselves so I went with them. we were going to throw corn at peoples houses, as that is what we did then besides knocking on doors for a treat, but the corn was more fun. It didn't really hurt anything, it  would just scare  you to death it you were just sitting in there reading or something and all of a sudden a big handfull of dried corn hit the side of  your house. and I told them now you  had to run real fast after you did it. before they came out and caught you. so we were going along having a good O time, when one  house we hit , a policeman lived there and here he came out the door, and we took off and he was getting in his car to come after us. so I yelled for them to hit the ditch, to  hide , it was a kinda deep ditch and when got in it , it had water in it , and from the smell  it had to be from someones  toilet, at least it smelled like that , and we had to stay there till he went by, and then we had to go home to change clothes and clean up. so that ended the tricks for that night, and another thing we did, but I didn't have the little ones do it. we took a stick and ran it down the side of the house and it made a big noise, and then you better run, I guess I got a lot of exercise when I was young. of course there were no vinyl siding then it was wooden, so it didn't leave too much damage,. As far as I know it didn't leave any damage as I never went back to see. I really wasn't such a bad kid though, course there were a couple other things  like bridge painting ,that I won't go into now. or probably ever. Maybe that is why as I got  older I became a painter, and  joined the painters union in Indpls. painted for yrs and then went into hanging vinyl. traveled for yrs doing that, until retirement. and here I am 85 yrs old, and taking care of my daughter Pat, we have been to the emergency room twice this week, I sure hope this morning when I talk to her she is a lot better, she has been sick for so long. quit a few things wrong. and with all the pill she has to take for pain, she is doing weird things at night, like falling out of bed. I wish she would come stay with us, Well will get off of here for now, and get dressed as  I have to be at the drug store when it opens to get her med. prescriptions filled. they have gave 3 different things now , trying to find out what is wrong, sure hope they have hit the nail on the head this time. they got to do something about this pain the girl is going thru. later.
