Halloween

Rocky Road Popcorn Balls
Happy Halloween.

Our plans? Rehab, of course. Bills and banks and errands. Michael is planning to be home early tonight. Winnie, her brother Oliver and her parents Natalie and Ethan are coming to show us their costumes around 5:30. I am going to serve some cider (some good Oktoberfest beer for the adults), pumpkin pie with whipped cream and cookies.

Also, Melanie's birthday is today. She is the sophomore in high school who lives down the street and recently spent the night with us while her parents were out of town. Every year since she was born, she and her parents come down early in the evening for some sweets and a present.

Yesterday, I made Rocky Road popcorn balls with marshmallows and chocolate chips. Too good! Everyone will be going home with a goodie bag of these sweet morsels of goodness along with Halloween candy.

All the kids on our street and their parents will also get a goodie bag with the popcorn balls in them. Along with candy, of course.

We love seeing the costumes on all the little ones who visit us through the evening. Hope you have visits from lots of ghosts and goblins, too!
