October 29th was trick or treat night for kids in Elba. Parents brought their children downtown to show off their costumes and to let them get treats from area merchants, businesses, clubs, churches, etc. who had booths set up around the courthouse square.
James wore his Uncle Sam's costume since he had worn it to work all day. By the way, he won "Best Costume" at their party at work.
Our church (Elba United Methodist) handed out candy to the little gobblins and James helped them. After a short while, he told our pastor Stanley that he wanted to walk around and look at what everybody else was handing out and he took off. I'm glad he doesn't like sweets and he didn't carry a bag around to collect goodies . Pictured: Nancy and Stanley Carter, Martha and Joe Guerrero,James & Candace Vaughan
He wanted his picture made with some of his friends. He is pictured here with his cousins, Betty and Bo Sauls, and our friend Laurie Chapman, the blonde with the fuzzy dog ear hairdo.

After he finished looking at all the booths he went with Jim and me across the street to the Just Folk coffeehouse for chili and to listen to 2 of our Opp church friends from when we went to church in Opp, as they played their guitars and sang old favorites. James enjoyed the music and was greeted by so many of our friends and had his picture made several times.
Halloween has come and gone for another year. We didn't carve the pumpkin this year and it's still sitting outside. We'll leave it there until Thanksgiving.
