9/1/11

Welcome September!

Summer is nearing an end. Most all schools are back in session with a few stragglers starting the day after Labor Day.

September is the month for making apple butter so my long awaited trip to Carver's Orchard will take place about the middle of the month.
I can change my wreath on my front door. I'm looking for a new one, but not sure what I want. It's too early for my Scarecrow fall one and I'm too tired of my beach one. I see a trip to A.C. Moore in my future. They always have some neat ones.
September 11th will live on in our memories forever. So many lives were lost; so many unsung heroes were created. The country took a major disaster of gigantic proportion and used it as a lesson to no longer take our way of life for granted. We took a stand; we sent prayers up; WE THE PEOPLE, bonded together like no other time past or present.
Football games are gearing up all over the country. Midget League, High schools, Colleges, Pro Teams all ready to rumble.
I'm already seeing a few changing of the colors on the trees along our road. It won't be long till the Fall Peepers will start pouring into town.
The Grand Rod Run and Shades of the Past will be arriving in a couple of weeks to Pigeon Forge; bringing nostalgic memories of days gone by with their antigue and muscle cars.
But most importantly Septemer 18th is National Back to Church Day. I love this non-denominational video promoting the importance of being in church. To top it off, our church, Beech Springs Baptist in Kodak, TN is having our 128th Homecoming that same day. What a wonderful way to celebrate Back to Church Day. I hope you take a moment to watch this video.
