But it was not Halloween.. .rather a lovely sunny summer's day. I asked my older sister if the two of them were witches. She certainly knew better but told me "yes" anyway. And mine was a predominantly Catholic neghbourhood.. but I was raised Jewish. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-65510733162097431972015-11-06T07:40:42.973-05:002015-11-06T07:40:42.973-05:00This was before "The Flying Nun" came on...This was before "The Flying Nun" came on TV, so my worldview wasn't very largesagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-17408219770931797122015-11-06T07:39:56.778-05:002015-11-06T07:39:56.778-05:00It's hard to keep up with the past!

My job ...That is a great memory (and nicely told). <br />My job is to hand out the treats. A little story about that... The people who we bought our house from (10 years ago) handed out freshly made and still warm donuts as treats. They were legend and gave out lots of donuts. Well, on our first Halloween there, many people people came to the door expecting a donut. We knew nothing about that, and apparently disappointed more than a few of them. Every year there are less and less of them, but we still hear about it (in a humorous way).Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-57475272852217633622015-11-04T07:12:07.524-05:002015-11-04T07:12:07.524-05:00I hope you had a great and safe (and dry) Hallowee...I hope you had a great and safe (and dry) Halloweensagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-76592989859942013452015-11-04T07:10:56.147-05:002015-11-04T07:10:56.147-05:00I'm sure as they weren't too many nuns in ...I'm sure as they weren't too many nuns in the South in the early 60ssagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-26069683729860805462015-11-04T07:10:21.780-05:002015-11-04T07:10:21.780-05:00I can understand why you are relucant about openin...I can understand why you are relucant about opening up to Halloween in Detroit and also why some who knew "nuns" personally saw them as even more frightening.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-28274956414252173962015-11-04T06:33:33.933-05:002015-11-04T06:33:33.933-05:00Oh no, but gosh, what a funny story years later.
