Halloween was a wonderful event for every last member of our family, and once again has proven to be worthy of my personal “favorite holiday” award. Having said that … it’s over! Time to get back to real life and time to get rid of the candy. Locally, some dentists are collecting candy and mailing it to our troops. What a sweet idea! Not that I support rotting out the teeth of our men and women in uniform, but I do imagine a couple of pieces in a land of freeze dried meals would be a delight.
If you’ve still got bags full and don’t want to end up 15 pounds fatter by Thanksgiving, drop it off at your local recruiting station or send some to the address of a soldier you know. Encourage them to share too! Now go run a mile and go brush your teeth. Get to work!
