I too enjoyed the saturday movie matinees, with admission being a whole 12 cents! If I was lucky I had money for either popcorn or candy but not both.<BR/>Love your family traditions today also. The treats and the pumpkins certainly are wonderful! Hope all your hauntings were happy ones.

I was in my local fabric store earlier this week and they were really busy selling goodies to make costumes. Nice. A special activity for families. When small, my grandchildren wore animal pajama contumes that were used, and enjoyed, for many nights.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812374680645763586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-69853333731782097102008-10-31T02:19:00.000-07:002008-10-31T02:19:00.000-07:00I always Love to hear other's halloween Memories! ...I always Love to hear other's halloween Memories!

In the small town where I lived, you made everything. If your mother or grandmother sewed, you had a new costume. But most of the time we made do with what we found. I remember being a gypsy some Halloweens. Hobos were very popular in my time. as well as ghosts and witches. I think witches are timeless. We had neighbors who would invite you in and you would eat what they treated you with in their kitchens. We went home with tummy aches many a Halloween!Purple Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614300010193583324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555344617895972769.post-17153653368209158992008-10-29T19:28:00.000-07:002008-10-29T19:28:00.000-07:00Enjoyed your memories of Halloweens past..the pump...Enjoyed your memories of Halloweens past..the pumpkins are certainly original looking.
