I hope this month's newsletter finds you and your family well! October is here and the weather is changing. It's time to rev up....there's lots to do and we're here to help you do it!

 

I hope you like the picture of Jerry's Pineapple I put in at the top of the letter. It was great fun to watch it grow! We had never attempted anything like that before, so it was especially interesting and delicious to cut and eat this one little treasure. Trying new things is always an adventure, and we like that! 

 

This month's pictures include pumpkins and cornucopias. I hope you enjoy them. Members can print the instructions on constructing these beauties in the "Decorating Ideas" section of the web site.  If you are not a member, you can join by Becoming a Friend of Friendship's Garden. Just click on the button on the bottom of the home page. We're happy to have you!

 

On a more serious note....we have just returned from Galveston, checking on property there. It is a very dismal place right now with many people having lost all. We were blessed that our damage was minimal in comparison to some. I wanted to urge you, if you have a mind, to make a donation to the American Red Cross. They are there in the disaster area, driving up and down every street handing out hot meals to those in need. Their funds are severely low due to the many disasters we have experienced over the last few years. I know they would appreciate any help you might be able to give, small or large. Here's the link if you feel led to give. American Red Cross Bless you for whatever you can do!

 

And, now, on to the goodies......
