Fun and safe Halloween option with a Salvation message. 5-7:00 PM Friday Oct 30 at Grace Fellowship Church. Join us! (and hotdogs!)
Come to Pleasant Hill’s Orange Planet for a fun family event – annual Trunk or Treat. Eisenlauer Team will be there with home-made Cotton Candy (candy spider’s web) Sunday Oct 25 from 4:00-6:00 PM.
Join us for a LIVE Cooking School with one of our Culinary Specialists who will share their home cooking tips and tricks while demonstrating step-by-step recipes for the season’s best dishes. Find out for yourself why people keep coming back to the Taste of Home Cooking School, year after year! Food, fun, and delicious memories are waiting for you, so get your tickets today. The event includes a Marketplace where you can shop & sample your way through several vendors before the live show, several food trucks from the metro serving up delicious eats for your dining pleasure and the live cooking show where you will learn some of the top recipes featured in the Taste of Home cookbooks & magazines! Marketplace & Food Trucks will be open at 4:00PM with the Live Show starting at 7:00PM At Jacobsen Building at Iowa State Fairgrounds.I like to take different roads to get to my routine destinations. Along the way, I notice things. Some make me smile. Some make me shake my head in puzzlement. Some make me do a U-turn to see if my eyes deceived me. Some compel me to take that route again and again. Sometimes I admire. I always attempt to record with a photo (smart phones are a wonderful invention). Some thing I’ve noticed Along the Way:
- A truck that had signage – Hillbilly Handyman.
- A store to go with it – Hillbilly Palace Thrift Store.
- Larger the life picture of Ron Paul as yard ornamentation.
- Beautifully manicured and landscaped yard.
- The floor covering business that gives “free stimates”. (thought perhaps the letter came off, but opposite side was exactly the same)
- Broken plastic lawn chair with For Sale sign.
- Dog house with sign that says “Killer” – great security system.
- The hidden house – so overgrown you can barely make out the roof line.
- Unusual paint colors on houses – lavender/purple exterior -stands out in the neighborhood.
- Street names – like Giggle or No Name.
- “Where-did-they-get-that-why-did-they-put-it-in-their-yard” ornaments

I LOVE fall – the colors in the trees, the crisp cooler air, the sounds of crunching leaves under foot, the flavor of juicy apples, aroma of warm bowl of homemade soup, snapping of burning logs at a weiner roast – the sound of football games. It is a wonderful time of year – it’s great to live in an area that has distinct differences in the seasons. I would love to see or hear about your favorite fall activity! I’m posting some that I’ve collected on Pinterest – and then some that our family has enjoyed.
