My mother-in-law told me that when she was a child, there was a holiday in the fall when the children would go around to the neighborhood houses and receive sweet potatoes.  She said it was so fun!  It sounded a lot like Halloween to me. 

Do you know what she was talking about?  She is 90 years old.  Maybe it was only in the area where she grew up?

A few minutes ago, my husband decided to try and make pancakes himself.  Always, I am the pancake maker in our family.  (I make good pancakes!)  But my husband has decided, after 3 decades (30 years) of marriage, that he will try it himself today.  He is in the kitchen now.  Please wish him luck!
