Guess what? I left a big container of candy on the front porch with a picture of a skull and crossbones posted above it. I asked everybody to take a FEW pieces and to dare to share. When we got home from the temple at 11 p.m., all of the candy was gone. Sort of reminded me of the deed done by the Grinch--you know, crumbs to small for a mouse. Want to bet that one person got it all?

More on the apple saga. My friend from Price, Joyce Woodward, had a similar apple experience to the one I had. She was using one of the apple pickers featured in garden catalogs, you know the kind. They have a basket on the top. While she was picking, one of the big apples fell from the top of the tree and hit her right between the eyes. She had really black eyes when I saw her a few days later. I wonder if those apples have it out for females in retaliation for Eve tasting the "apple" and giving one to Adam to taste. (Just kidding, of course.)
