Once again, not a single trick-or-treater here. I think we once had one or two, but if so, it was many years ago. I guess we're just too rural and it's too far from house to house (and I should understand, after all, we've always taken our girls to a subdivision closer to Sonora, where "all the kids go" because there's lots of houses close to each other.
Anyone else get ignored? Gavin, what's normal there?

Condo living assures no trick or treaters

Us to, but we went to Willow Glen where the pickings are good.
My boys hauled in 2lbs for dad!

But be honest, Munge: you weren't home anyway, you were out trick-or-treating yourself :D
BTW was I too mean to my receptionist today? She dressed up like a hideous, dead witch. But when I walked in I asked her why she hadn't dressed up for Halloween.

Seems to me your comment would have fallen on deaf ears...

In contrast to our house, this is what my sister in LA experienced tonight:
5:30 this evening, very first trick-or-treaters at my house, 3 teenage guys too old to be begging for candy, all dressed as "knights" (of-the-Roundtable-type, not Jedi). Ring my doorbell and announce "by royal proclamation we wisheth you a happy Halloween" -- okay, at least they're making an effort to be interesting, so I start to give the tallest one some candy bars (3 Musketeers, coincidentally), but he doesn't have a treat bag and shakes his head "no, thank you" -- then I look down the porch steps to my walkway and see the fourth trick-or-treater, dressed up as their "king" -- he's a severely disabled boy about 9 or 10 in a wheelchair. He's the only one with a treat bag, the teens aren't looking for candy for themselves. Empty all the candy bars in my hands into the boy's bag -- he laughs delightedly. I barely made it back inside before bawling my eyes out. Faith in teenagers restored. Faith in Halloween restored.

Nice story Viki!

Uncle Stinky!!! Where have you been?
What a year for grapes...Mmmmm.

Brad I feel you and I live in downtown mt view. NOt a single door knocker was to be had. That made for a massive amount of junk to be eaten or tossed within my household. I swear every year I buy candy to hand out it does the exact opposite. The year I don't buy candy will be the year they knock.

Note to self, make stop at Squiddo's place next year.
We hit the best grounds in the valley....Willow Glen.
My kid can clear 5lbs easy...and then forgets it.
-
sweet so YOU are one of those parents. My dad was spending $250 a year in candy to cover the busload of kids that came of knocking. He finally closed up shop and hits a dinner/movie.
-
Yeah, van loads pull up. We are locals since the sister in-law lives there.
I'd believe having to spend $250.
The best house we hit...had beer and wine for the adults. It was one big party.

That was indeed a great story from Vicki's sister.
I watched this "I ate all your candies" video at least three times. Mr. Mud said that mom was cruel doing what she did, but I was most impressed with the parent-kids interaction. I think she did a great job raising those boys.
