| I have fond memories of sitting under an oak tree stringing the round oak balls into a necklace and making necklaces out of sour grass which is hollow stemmed. Playing jacks, paper dolls and all the child hood games are fond memories. |

that had to be the best day of the year for this tomboy I hit those sidewalks hard every door in town that pretty well was my candy allotment for the whole year so you can understand my dedication had to make it home by 9 pm just in time to get caught up with the older kids who would turn over the neighbors out door toliets I recall a few dozen eggs getting thrown around too, the popcorn balls and the big chocolate bars where the best. |

 Fall is my favorite time of year. My youngest daughter was born October 20. I sure was glad to see her! Very active baby in my tummy and 2 weeks late! I also love Halloween and have many happy childhood memories of going door to door "trick or treat" and a couple really fun halloween parties. |

| Fall memories are amongst my favorites. I grew up on a tabbacco farm in southern Ontario. Fall was the time of year when things started to wind down and there was less time to work and more time to play. The completion of the harvest was celebrated by a Harvest Party that all the nieghbors and workers would attend. Everyone would bring food to pass and we would have a bon fire that was so big it would burn all night. I am certain that fire was twice the size of me. Everyone would sit around the fire telling tales...some taller than others but all equally as entertaining. No gifts or gratuities were exchanged but somehow something very special would be shared, something I as a child and as an adult cannot explain. As children we never received an allowance or payment of any type for the work we did but each year after each harvest was complete that work was repaid. Karen |

Boy, did we ever have great Halloweens when I was growing up! We lived in a 'big' small town - about 9,000 back then. Mom & Dad would turn my brother and I loose & we got as far as the corner, then went looking for our own friends. We used pillowcases for treat bags... There was one man who owned a local dairy, and he gave out orange drink in those little 1/2 pint cardboard containers. You went to his house first, then went all around and then finished up at his house again - Trick or Treating was thirsty work! Treats back then consisted of big candy bars, homemade cookies, popcorn balls - we would even get a few carmeled apples. Times have sure changed.... whoopi |

happy october greetings ... looks like there are many b'days in october ... my father's and mine are both on october 26th ... he will be 80 this year and he is still going strong, for which i am grateful ... in years past, my family, and the families of 2 of my cousins would get together on columbus day (a day off from work and school for all of us) ... we would go apple picking at an orchard, then we would go to the Quabbin reservoir/Windsor damn area for a picnic (kind of interesting history goes with how the Quabbin came to be http://www.westfordcomp.com/quabbin/) ... as the years went by, our little family picnic and apple picking day grew (all of our kids bringing their friends, then friends bring their families) to where we all just about filled the whole area ... we would eat, hike, set up volleyball nets and play volleyball, fly kites, play catch and frisbee ... something for everyone ... then came 9/11 ... the area was closed due to concern for the safety of the drinking water ... i fondly think of the years that we were all able to spend together in such a simple, and memorable way ... ty for asking ... it brought back wonderful memories for me ...  |

Trick or treating. We lived 3 miles outside of town and we would make the walk, up one side of the road and back on the other side stopping at each house. We carried pillow cases. What greedy little children we were. Our candy stash would last for a couple months. Every year teens would remove the cannon from the library lawn and one year they moved it to the police station. It was a much safer time. |
