Susan Dooley of Collinsville shared her magazine with President Lincoln when she visited Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. She’s a member of Sand Mountain EC.
Dave Flora and his daughters Olivia and Audrey traveled to the Panama Canal’s Atlantic entrance, Aqua Clara. The Floras are from Wisconsin but enjoy their condo in Gulf Shores where they are members of Baldwin EMC.
These three couples, all members of Coosa Valley EC, took their magazine to the Tropic Of Cancer Beach in Little Exuma Bahamas, where the Tropic of Cancer crosses the island. From left, are Tim and Jada, Larry and Karen from Lincoln, and Adam and Krista from Riverside. “We were there June 21,” reports Larry Phillips, “the longest day of the year! If we win, please donate our prize to the Coosa Riverkeeper who works hard to keep our Logan Martin Lake clean and safe!” You got it, Larry!

dingbat!
We admit, the November dingbat – a fall scarecrow – was mighty small, but more than 400 of you did spot him on Page 31, in the photo of our Cook of the Month, hiding in a potted plant. “Kathy Phillips didn’t mind sharing her cauliflower dish picture with the dingbat,” wrote Nora E. Taylor of Clarke-Washington EMC. Mary Gay of Falkville said we were “sneaky” hiding him there, and she had to find him with a magnifying glass! Zayne Gregory of Albertville said he found the scarecrow pretty quickly. “This is the first time that I have done this,” he wrote. “My grandmother told me about it and I found it on my first try of looking for it.” Good job, Zayne! Congratulations to our randomly drawn winner, Joe Wheeler EMC member Stephen R. Davis, who wins a prize package from Alabama Rural Electric Credit Union. This month, we’ve hidden a gingerbread man (not to be confused with the ginger cookies on Page 30!). Send us your guess by Dec. 8. By mail:
