When ducks stand on one leg, expect cold weather.*
Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a beautiful day! - Wow! There were a lot of leaves in the yard this year! It seemed like they were trying to make their way into the house, the car, they totally moved in under the carport. I'm very glad the job of cleaning those up is done. I did kind of feel sorry for the garbage men because of our extra dozen lawn bags of leaves! As my husband was raking, he told me that all of the leaves were the crop that our trees gave us, he said raking them wasn't so much of a chore when he thought about it like that.*

Billy Graham's daughter, Anne Graham Lotz , was on a popular news program. The interviewer asked, " Are you one of those who believe that Jesus is exclusively the only way to heaven?" He added, "You know how mad that makes people these days!" Without blinking she replied," Jesus is not exclusive. He died so that anyone could come to Him for salvation."*

During a picnic on a scorching day at a Wisconsin lake, Ole's fiancee Bess said how much she would enjoy some ice cream. So the young Norwegian immigrant gladly made a 5-mile
round-trip by rowboat to bring it to her. When he returned exhausted with a container of melted ice cream, Ole told himself there must be a better way. He put his mechanical mind to work, and a year later in 1907, Ole Evinrude field-tested his lightweight, detachable motor for small boats. He married Bess, and when the outboard motors went into commercial production, she wrote the advertising slogan: "Don't Row! Throw the Oars Away!"*

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin -or- mashed, cooked, fresh pumpkin
