Nothing Much Else Happened: November 1, 1978

Today, I would like to continue with yesterday's story. After getting home, I ran in and changed costume! I changed into my skateboard gear and O.P. sorts, and went out again. Unfortuneately, it was so late (9:00 P.M.), that most people never answered their doors! So, we came back. The girls told me to seperate the candy bars from the rest of the candy, and then everybody left to watch "Dracula". I carelessly left my candy, and when I got back, Barney had eaten all but one of my candy bars! I was heart-broken. I'm still mad at that dumb dog.

Nothing Much Else Happened: October 31, 1978

Today was empty hot dog day. Can you figure that one out? Anyway, it was an okay day, although I wouldn't mind having to take it over again. Tina and Penny got over on time, and we had a good dinner. Of course, we were interrupted all through mealtime because of ghosts and goblins at are door! We went trick-or-treating around 7:45 p.m. We had plenty of candy. But when we were on our way back these guys started hitting us with grapefruits, so we had to run inside one of my friend's house. We called, and Dad came and picked us up. Tell you more tomorrow.

Nothing Much Else Happened: October 29, 1978

Today, Dad and I decided I would also wear a false moustache, too! I think it is a great idea for a costume! By the way, guess who's coming to dinner and then going trick-or-treating with me later? My neice, Tina, and her sister (also my neice), whom I have never met, Penny. They are going as roller-derby queens! Can you imagine? What a trio! Mom says this will probably be my last year trick-or-treating — Sean's not going at all.

Nothing Much Else Happened: October 28, 1978

Today, I finished my costume for Halloween. As I told you before, I have glued a deck of cards on each side of a board, and in bold lettering, the words "Card Shark" are on the front. I'm just afraid that while I'm walking for trick-or-treats, that I don't lose all my cards. After all, I don't want to be the one who is not playing with a full deck of cards! (Ha-Ha!) Anyway that night I will string the boards together so I can throw it over my shoulders. I will also wear a top-hat with some Jokers from the 2 decks printed all over it.

Nothing Much Else Happened: October 21, 1978

Today marks only ten days until halloween. I think I'm going to be a card shark: I will have a sandwich board, and on each side paste a deck of cards in different patterns. I know 2 decks will be wasted, but I can't think of anything else to do. I plan to start work on it day after tomorrow. By the way, we won't be getting our pumpkin until about the 29th — we always buy our pumpkins late.
