Delight Us With Decorations





Everywhere we see holiday decorating has begun, both inside and out. A driver has a hard time keeping their eyes on the road with so many pumpkins, goblins, witches, blow ups, scarecrows and more to take in. Next month we'll see turkeys then on to snowmen, flakes, lights and more.

Autumn is an easy time to jazz up the place with wreaths, colored leaves, greeting signs, baskets and more. Let it spill out from the entry, porch and into the yard. Everyone that decorates is doing the neighborhood a service by making each day more welcoming and friendly for the rest of us. Businesses really get into the act filling there display windows and area with animated shapes and more.

One year we stopped at a friend's home that had pumpkins all over their front yard and snapped a few treasured photos of the grandkids. If you decide to try this, make sure to ask the homeowner for permission to take photos on their property especially if it involves kids.

A '3 Bags Full' Award goes out to anyone ambitious enough to share their talents.

LDS General Conference Gift




Words of a prophet were spoken this month by Thomas S. Monson and leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint's at the semi-annual General Conference. The most recent revelation directly from the Lord through his servants to us.

Encouragement and love, forgiveness and hope, blessings and wisdom are for all to accept, believe and hold on to. We were told that Jesus Christ loves all men and His hand is stretched out for us to cling to. It is only through him we are able to find solace.

This valuable advice was sent out via internet, TV and closed circuit for all the world to enjoy. Watch, listen or read these valuable words of wisdom on lds.org today.
