My cathedral
quilt is nearly finished. It will be ready for a picture by Halloween.
I’m reminded
of a particular Halloween as a teenager. Back then we didn't know about “trick
or treat”, but we did know about tricks.
On
that Halloween my dad saddled up one of his gentle work horses for me and, with
many instructions as to being careful, he actually let me ride off to meet my
friends. There was only four or five of us, but we managed to think of several
tricks. We moved some farm equipment out of place and took down mail boxes. A
few of the neighbors even found their out-houses toppled over the next morning!
I
have an idea that’s when the adults decided on “trick or treating”!
