- Jim Dossett ('66) of SC - 09/27/18

    WOWZERONI! Thank you, Jim! I can testify that your first book is a real page-turner, and I've no doubt that this one is as well!

   This now has a home on TYPHOONMART, Jim. Just where the promo for your first book, 'Member the Time, is... remains a mystery for the moment.

   OH, by the way, we were never under water; we were just cut off from our family by the rising water for several days. We lost power for a few days, and the storms zapped the AC / heat pump for even longer, but it was repaired on Tuesday, so that was mighty fine!

From Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 09/26/18 - "Wild Corndogs":

Thanks, Billy!

BONUS AUTUMN CROCHET PATTERN:

Suzie's One Ball Ruffled Wrist Cozies - "This is such a fun pattern to make. Once it's complete the ruffles hang out of your jacket cuff for a nice embellishment to your outfit. An I hook is used with worsted weight yarn."

BONUS AUTUMN RECIPES:

Mr. Food's State Fair Herb Bread - "A blue ribbon winner at the fair and a gold medal winner on your buffet table!"

Mr. Food's Mom's Baking Powder Biscuits - "Try these sure-fire biscuits once you know my secret for getting perfect results every time. Yes, it really is all in the baking powder!"

Mr. Food's Cinnamon Bun Pie - "Holy cow, these cinnamon buns are amazing! The combination of the flaky dough and the gooey topping makes this Cinnamon Bun Pie a recipe you'll want to keep near the top of your recipe collection."

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 09/27/17:

One time a policeman pulled me over for running a stop sign. He said, "Didn't you see the stop sign?"

I said, "Yes I did, but I don't believe everything I read."

Early Autumn

Music by Ralph Burns (29 June 1922 – 21 Nov 2001) and Woody Herman (16 May 1913 – 29 Oct 1987), 1949

Words by Johnny Mercer (18 Nov 1909 – 25 June 1976), 1949

Recorded by Ella Fitzgerald (25 Apr 1917 – 15 June 1996)

When an early autumn walks the land and chills the breeze
and touches with her hand the summer trees,
perhaps you'll understand what memories I own.

There's a dance pavilion in the rain all shuttered down,
a winding country lane all russet brown,
a frosty window pane shows me a town grown lonely.

That spring of ours that started so April-hearted,
seemed made for just a boy and girl.
I never dreamed, did you, any fall would come in view
so early, early.

Darling if you care, please, let me know,
I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so.
Let's never have to share another early autumn.
