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...
but whatever happened to these...?
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...
happy halloween everybody!
smell ya later!

ps--sorry, matt--remember, i broke my camera at your house.
no pictures of the vampire cowboys... : (
happy halloween!!!
ReplyDeleteman i used to love me some wax candies!!
Nooooo! We gotta figure out this camera thing.
ReplyDeleteHappy 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.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
I remember those lips.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone had a "Per-Happy Halloween."
