Polson Seniors: Prepare for All Hallows Eve
The hallowed evening before All Saints’ Day is coming up on Tuesday, as if you needed a reminder. I buy those mixed candy bags. I sort out all the ones that have mostly orange wrapping for myself and give the kids the other brands when they threaten me with a prank.
There is a gift in giving, but I have a limit.
