Aww, I am smitten with the older kids raising food for the pantry. Good on them. They get to have Halloween fun and not raise hackles.
I know what you mean about the guest house. Out here in the mountains of Arizona we have this weird dynamic where the city trebles in size over the summer, with folks fleeing the Phoenix heat for our higher elevation. So there are lots and lots of homes, in every income bracket, that are vacant for nine months out of the year. So I'm always squinting at the houses, trying to figure out which ones are which.
We have one house, admittedly two streets away, but the closest facing ours, which I am mystified by. It appears to be a full time residence, but the number and variety of cars that show up there are bafflingly large. All sorts of people go in those doors, adults, kids, etc., all the time. I thought the people living there were elderly, which would maybe mean grandparents with frequent visitors, but it seems like some of the kids live there too. I have no real idea.
