Random thoughts from my Saturday — I was able to find Skittles Halloween candy at King Soopers but it’s a bag with a mixture of Skittles and Starburst, 57 of them for $5. I was hoping for just a bag of Skittles, but I accepted the mixture. We’ll also have chocolates. Our house has had over the last several years between 200 and 300 kids come to the door on Halloween, depending upon what day it falls upon and the weather, but I’m constantly amazed at how many we have. We enjoy it and the animals seem to enjoy it — sadly our cat who loved to get into a costume and to greet the guests finally went to the rainbow bridge this past spring so this will be a bit of a shadow on this year’s celebration.
Also, we had our first Democratic door-knocker today. Very nice to have them come by.
