one last thing...
i loved halloween as a kid for the spookiness and the costumes and the autumn and the trick-r-treating and the candy...
but another thing i loved--and have thought about a lot this year--were the lead-up candies, the get-ready-halloweeen-is-comin' candies...
the wax candy...

these were all the rage when i was a kid. kids would be whistlin' on these all up and down the block. like the wax lips and mustaches, they'd get full of spit and sometimes drip--but that was part of the joy!

i'd do anything for them to bring back the halloween wax whistle...

Nooooo! We gotta figure out this camera thing.
Happy Halloween, Todd and Sharon (and everybody!)
I seem to recall that I would feverishly buy various wax lips and fangs because the brand I was into had green dinosaur stickers on the other side of the package...And I had to have them all.
Happy Halloween!
I remember those lips.
Hope everyone had a "Per-Happy Halloween."
