It seems that Halloween is changing again. When I was at a Halloween store I saw mainly men and women looking at things and many of them bought them. There were no children at all! These adult men and women hold parties either at someone’s home or at a fine  hotel and everyone comes dressed in their costumes. Drinking and dancing is their activity for the night. Where are the kids? Not a one turned up at our house. We had candy that will last quite awhile! I suppose there are kids in costume going around their neighborhoods   but there seems to be fewer each year and those who do go are always accompanied by an adult. And I don’t blame them. There are so many bad people around.

Gone are the days when every kid dressed up in whatever Mom could make and off they would go up and down the streets, knocking at doors, and their bags were getting quite full! I can remember those days. I would make up costumes using the material I had. My kids never had costumes that were bought. Neither did any of their friends!

Gone are the days when we didn’t even think about going to a house and asking for candy but we had parties at one of our friends home, or if we were the lucky ones that invited the kids to our home. We played games and always had a bobbing for apples game. Sometimes we had a hayride pulled by a horse. It would always be at night and we’d sing songs of the day as our horse pulled us around. I remember that was a lot of fun!

Or if we went even farther back when I was too little for the parties at homes, celebrated Halloween at school. We decorated our room with orange and black tissue paper and played games. Our schoolwork was forgotten that afternoon! but when it was dark at night, Daddy and all the other men in town went out in their outhouses and stayed there, because the big boys went around tipping the outhouses over. We even had a light in our outhouse so Daddy was especially careful of ours!

Take your pick. which of these celebrations would you like to be a part of? I think that the  day of Halloween has changed more often than any other, don’t you?

We have two unlikely people running for President of the United States on November 8, 2016! Do we vote for one of the “also running”  people in our Voters Pamphlet? The problem is that we are throwing our vote away. They might be good people but they won’t win.

Trump has never run for anything and he seems to be a women abuser but the women stories have been found to be untrue. They are stories stirred up by Hilarys camp, so we can forget about that. He often speaks before he thinks, although lately he hasn’t been doing that quite as much. He is a rich man and some have said that isn’t right because he won’t  care about the middle or poor class of people.

Hilary, on the other hand, has been seen as a woman who speaks lies about many things. she really has been seen as the woman responsible for the four people killed including the ambassador of that country. She says one thing and does another. Those E-Mails are causing her a lot of trouble and she seems to be sick. She’s had episodes of falling down and had coughing spells in front of the camera. It is true that she has been in the service of our country for many years.

I think the best thing we can do is pray. The Bible is full of people being put in office by God. He will do marvelous things if we pray. God places people in power, sometimes for good and other times because we need a judgement but if enough of us pray He will listen and act accordingly. If we follow Hilarys and Trumps declarations of what they plan to do if elected that will help. The problem with that is we know Hilary lies and we don’t know exactly what Mr.Trump will do. I guess prayer is our best bet, don’t you?
