As Angela Kiminas emphasizes, “The ultimate goal of HOTC Day is to unite the community through service that benefits others, as well as themselves. Man (and woman, girl and boy) power!”

Now Open: Broad Street Clothing Co. The paper over the windows of 130 South Broad Street has finally been removed, and the result is amazing. The former Jerger Jewelers building underwent a complete renovation to become Broad Street Clothing Co., a sleek and stylish boutique, housing both men’s and women’s fashions from designer lines such as Johnny Was, Majestic Filatures, and Henry and Belle.

Street Clothing Co to offer “stylish, appropriate, and fashionable clothing options to the professional.”

Broad Street Clothing Co. is Wilson’s second retail venture in downtown Thomasville; she launched Earthlover, a successful Fair Trade store, just a few doors down from Broad Street Clothing Co. “Broad Street Clothing Co. is a very different shopping experience.” Wilson says.

Customers will be able to have a style session and build an entire seasonal wardrobe.

Broad Street Clothing Company is located at 130 South Broad Street, by phone at (229) 236-2722, or check them out on Facebook.

Learn to Knit with Fuzzy Goat Learning how to knit is now even easier than ever with the addition of the two-week Learn to Knit course at Fuzzy Goat. Newbies to knitting can enroll in the course which will happen in two sessions at two hours each. Courses are often taught on Tuesday or Thursday evenings or on Saturday afternoons.

Since the store opened six weeks ago, they have done six Learn to Knit classes which have been very well received. “People want more. It is satisfying to me because it’s exactly what I’d hoped for. Several of my students have started on their second projects,” said owner Cadence Kidwell.

The classes are small, often no more than four people per class, and students enroll online. The cost for the class is $50 for four hours of instruction and students get 10% off the supplies they need for the class from the store. Students will need one or two skeins of yarn and a set of needles.

Students will start on their first project in class, and it is normally a small project such as a scarf or coffee koozie, but they will finish it after the class is over. The class teaches them everything they need to finish at home.

things for the people that you love,” said Kidwell.

In addition to joining classes that are already listed on the site, students can also gather their own group of coworkers, friends or family members to make their own small class once they have a teacher secured. Due to demand for more classes, Kidwell said she is looking for more instructors.

Recently Thomasville National Bank employees did a team building exercise in the Learn to Knit class. Due to the large size of this class, they had two instructors.

The employees started and finished their koozies in the course of the class.

Our Natalie Kirbo attended the workshop. “I thought that it was such a great experience for all of us. We learned to knit, but it's also provided us with something to continue to talk about and update each other on the projects we are working on. It's been a real source of camaraderie in our office, and Cadence and our teacher, Susan were wonderful. We all take lunch breaks at the Fuzzy Goat now!” said Kirbo.

For more information about the classes, please call the Fuzzy Goat at 229-236-GOAT or to sign up for the email listserv or for classes visit fuzzygoatyarns.com.

Team JDRF is the grassroots fundraising program created by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to help individuals create events and campaigns to help raise money for Type 1 diabetes research. They have raised over $568 million dollars and serve as the largest charitable organization for T1D. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that can result in damage to the body’s organs by causing glucose to stay in the victims blood system. It is unrelated to your diet or your lifestyle. It shows up suddenly in both children and adults. Currently, there is no cure for T1D. JDRF advocates that the disease is no longer limited to just juveniles, but is affecting all ages. In America alone, almost three million people have Type 1 diabetes.

This race will spread awareness and help educate our town about this severe disease.

The event will take place at Thomas University on Saturday, November 1st. For the 5K, the cost is $20 before the October 25th deadline and $25 after. Check in will be from 8:00a to 8:45a with the race starting at 9:00a. For the 1 mile run, the cost is $12 a person before the deadline and $15 after. Check in is from 9:00a to 9:45a with the race starting at 10:00a. T-shirts will be available to those who register before the 25th.

Overall winners will receive a trophy. Awards will also be given to the winners of each age group and the elementary with the most 1-mile run participants will also receive a trophy. Lets rally the troops and show our support for the students that brought this event to Thomasville and for those battling this disease!

PAWS for Reading The Thomas County Public Library (TCPL) is taking part in a nationwide program, PAWS for Reading. PAWS for Reading is a program that allows children to read aloud to a therapy dog to improve reading and communication skills.

The Kickstand and Organic Quick-Cuisine Preparing for the FLAUNT 2014 installation in the old “Bottom” area centered around Jackson and Stevens Streets, Darlene Blackman was looking for new ideas, and truly new ideas are very rare. Nevertheless, she came across a clever and innovative notion to nosh by—‘The Kickstand.’ So, during September there flourished in this neighborhood, not only the artistic, but a bit of the exotic for foodies too, both in character and flavor. One of the street vendors, yes, ‘The Kickstand’ is an organic taco wagon. It’s the baby of Randell Chastain (Townie Coinkidink: she is with child and due around December). She and her husband, Carson, are the proprietors of Chastain Bicycle Co—Mini Warehouses. Their novation delighted all comers by ingredient, and with a motto de yum: nutritious, delicious, and conscientious.

It’s an idea that had floated within the Chastain family for some time, but the city fathers currently have a ban on such food vending trailers or carts within town.

Too bad because many of us from larger, thriving towns have frequented the lively sidewalk fare like half-smokes, soft-shell crab sams, oyster po-boys, popcorn, peanut-oil fries, and even funnel cakes. The Chastains would not favor these lesser cuisines though, their delectable taco delights from ‘The Kickstand’ are gluten free (except for the flour tortillas, but there are bowls available instead of shells) and made from fresh and/or all natural, and/or local, and/or sustainable foodstuff mostly produced by regional cooperative farms. No bottled water (the bpa’s), local farm(s) fresh veggies, range beef (Orchard Pond Organics, Tallahassee), pork from Thompson Farms (in Dixie), organic chicken (Bell and Evans), flounder & red fish (Harper Seafood), authentic Mexican sodas (real sugar), and—to die for—the specialty salsas, sauces, and cheese dips, plus (wait for it) gluten-free brownies.

The idea during the FLAUNT celebration was to de-emphasize profit-margin in order to expose our community to something healthy, tasty, new, and zingy. Randell advises that post-FLAUNT, ‘The Kickstand’ will survive as a mobile unit attending local and regional affairs, to wit on October 26th and and 27th the taco stand will be set up at the New Leaf Market Coop in Tallahassee for the 7th Annual Farm Tour sponsored by Orchard Pond Organics: some 34 participating farms from Tally, Monticello, Greenwood—Sweet Grass Farms will be there. Health, sustainability, and taste are good themes that—to use the cliché—go great together. Given that one of the working, gastric definitions of Americans is people-without-pallet, methinks the Chastains are not just on the tongue side of the taste war, but thinking about customers from the ‘whole body’ concept. Viva la Kickstand.

Children read individually to trained therapy pets (and their handler) in the Storyroom at TCPL every Wednesday from 4:00p- 5:00p. This program began on September 6th and will continue throughout the year.

Archbold's Camp H.E.A.L.

According to Leigh Ann Falconer, Bark Busters Dog Behavioral Therapist and Master Trainer, the PAWS for reading program is based on Therapy Dog International’s Tail Waggin’ Tutors. Falconer said that the main objective of this program is to provide a relaxed and “dog-friendly” atmosphere, which allows students to practice the skill of reading.

As stated on the Therapy Dog International’s Tail Waggin’ Tutors website, “Many of the children chosen for this program have difficulties reading and as a result have developed self-esteem issues. They are often self-conscious when reading aloud in front of other classmates.

By sitting down next to a dog and reading to the dog, all threats of being judged are put aside. The child relaxes, pats the attentive dog, and focuses on the reading. Reading improves because the child is practicing the skill of reading, building self-esteem, and associating reading with something pleasant.”

The dogs that are in the program have taken the Therapy Dog International evaluation, a test that covers 13 different items to determine if a dog is suitable to do dog assisted therapy. These dogs have proven that they they are not affected by loud noises or equipment and that they have a high level of basic obedience which has been tested around children. For the reading program, they choose dogs that enjoy being around children.

When we lose a loved one, we begin a difficult road to recovery. We can never be prepared to face something like that. It can be an overwhelming battle back to normalcy, especially for children and teenagers. Hospice of South Georgia, along with Archbold Medical Center, recognized this challenge and created Camp HEAL. This program is designed to promote ‘Healing and Encouragement After a Loss’ for youth ages 6 to 17. This day camp, sponsored by Hospice of South Georgia, is a free program in a safe environment to assist those who are dealing with the death of a loved one.

Hospice of South Georgia is known for its quality end-of-life care. This reputation has allowed them to observe the effects that a loss leaves behind. Developing Camp HEAL has given them the unique opportunity to help not only those who have passed, but the special people they leave behind.

Falconer said that some of the dogs have been trained at home by their owners and then take the test, which is offered many times a year. Hospice of Southwest Georgia and Bark Busters Home Dog Training also offers these classes throughout the year in Thomasville, Cairo and Bainbridge to help prepare dogs for the evaluation. Falconer said that Bark Busters brings the equipment to the classes, practices the various scenarios and that the dogs have to be at least one year old to take the evaluation. All breeds and mixed breeds can take the evaluation.

This program is tailored to help those people. They will be broken up into two groups, one for ages 6-13 and one for ages 14-17. The younger kids will partake in horseback riding, recreational fun, arts and crafts and music. The older group will get to take part in recreational activities and music. Both will have an informal memorial service and will participate in educational discussions regarding grief and bereavement. Through the experience, participants will gain support from trained professionals and create new friendships with other kids and with the wonderful volunteer staff.

For more information about the Therapy Dog International’s Tail Waggin’ Tutors, please visit http://www.tdi-dog.org. For more information about PAWS for Reading at the Thomas County Library, contact Amanda Redker at amanda@tcpls.org.

This year, Camp HEAL will take place on October 17th from 9:00a to 4:30p at Camp Piney Woods. We would all like to wish everyone involved the best of wishes for another successful day of love and recovery.

Road Trip an out west escape!

With lows around 22 degrees and highs in the mideighties, for one week I wore boots, scarves, and drank pumpkin spice lattes like there was no return flight back to the land of turkey-sized mosquitos. We booked all of our hotel rooms last minute, and even lucked up with a stay for one night inside the Park. Our plane touched down in Bozeman, Montana around lunch on a Saturday, and from that point on, everything we saw was officially “the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

From the most beautiful airport, to the most beautiful Walmart, to the most beautiful roadside stop by a bridge, it just kept getting better. And then, we went inside the Park!

We spent our first night in West Yellowstone, which I promptly dubbed the Panama City of Yellowstone.

You can even get an air brushed t-shirt! Tacky tourism aside, “West” as the locals call it, was great. We woke up before dawn the next morning (easy as pie, when your body is still on Eastern Standard time) and headed into the Park. We were in awe of the first fifty or so buffalo we saw, and pulled over faithfully each time one was on the side of the road. Eventually we came to understand the term “buffalo jam,” and quit stopping to take pictures. It was elk mating season in September, and the entire area was full of elk males, bugling their little hearts out. Who needs Match.com when you can just call out your intentions for the whole Park to hear?

Apparently, that works.

We hiked twelve miles that first day, saw Old Faithful, clear hot springs, muddy hot springs, and extremely colorful hot springs. We saw Fairy Falls waterfall, got a couple of nice blisters, and enjoyed a glass of box wine out of a commemorative moose-adorned wine glass to round out the day.

On day two, we woke up inside the Park, once more before the sun, and searched desperately (and to no avail) for a cup of hot coffee. Don’t even try to find any before 10 AM inside the Park. You’ll just be wasting your time. We drove through the North side of the Park that morning with high hopes of seeing some bears, or wolves, or something exciting. The closest we got to a wolf was once we pulled over and approximately seventy people with camera lenses longer than Smart Cars informed us that we were indeed looking at a pack of wolves. We shrugged, agreed, checked that one off of our list and got back in the car. The most exotic critters we ended up seeing that day were mule deer.

Later that day, we packed up a couple of sandwiches and headed off on what turned out to be an unmaintained and completely deserted trail along Tower Creek. It was pretty great escaping the crowds for a bit, and we check another near-miss off our to-do list by witnessing

Fresh Seafood Hand-Cut Aged Steaks Farm Fresh Vegetables IN ADDITION TO Greek, Italian & Southern Favorites Enjoy Your Favorite Beverage in our Lounge Happy Hour Daily 4 - 7 pm Live Entertainment Every Weekend

what we think had to be a bear track. Luckily for us, we kept our bear spray firmly holstered and simply enjoyed a nearly invisible trail along the creek for a couple of hours. After lunch on a boulder, we headed back to the car and hit the road again. This time, we headed for the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. We had big plans for hiking all afternoon, but after hiking the equivalent of two football fields vertically, we opted for happy hour instead, content to have stood in awe of the Grand Canyon and the enormous waterfalls within it.

Afterwards, we cruised the mountain roads on out of the Park through the North Entrance into Gardner and on towards our B&B in Emigrant, Montana.

After checking in at Paradise Gateway for our first B&B experience, we enjoyed one more happy hour on the banks of the Yellowstone River in the backyard.

Paradise, indeed! When the scenery is this ideal, two happy hours per day is a standard requirement. We dined at nearby Chico Hot Springs Resort, which was excellent, then hit the hay in our hosts’ home. We woke up to the smell of hot breakfast early the next morning, which was a welcome change from our granola bar rations the rest of the week. It was even better than our hungry stomachs could imagine, and with extra-full bellies, we headed out for a day of guided fly fishing on the Yellowstone River.

As serendipity would have it, our fishing guide, Doug, was not only our age, but was also from Snellville, Georgia. He was not only a great guide, but a great teacher, too. We had a blast learning to fly fish (it was my first time!) and we are definitely hooked on the sport. We caught brown trout, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and whitefish. When I asked Doug what exactly a whitefish was, and the ultimate Southern question: “Can you eat it?” He explained that although the gray and white fish is not nearly as good as it’s trout cousins, it’s definitely edible, and pretty tasty smoked. I promptly dubbed whitefish as the “mullet of Montana” and went about learning to catch them.

Our last day in Big Sky Country was spent exploring Livingston, Montana, including the teeny, tiny International Fly Fishing Museum, which was far more impressive than its little storefront implied. We saw flies tied by master fly fishermen from all over the world (including Lefty Kreh, who will be at Plantation Wildlife Arts Festival this year, Townies!) and purchased some books to further school ourselves in the art. Our next and final stop was Bozeman for a day and night of sampling the best shopping, food, and booze the little city had to offer. For any Townies visiting Bozeman, visit Open Range downtown for dinner. Order the elk steak and the pasta topped with foie gras and thank me later.

After a leisurely, chilly, rainy morning spent knitting and people watching from a coffee shop, we reluctantly got back on a plane and headed home to the land of the pines (and turkey-sized mosquitos). I love South Georgia, but I have to say, there’s no better way to beat our heat than to head out West.

During those final, humid, heavy dog days of summer in South Georgia, I long for brisk, crisp Fall days. The grass is always greener somewhere else, right? One way to cure that longing to just simply escape! So that’s what we did. An impulse plane ticket purchase (times two!) and my husband and I were whisked away to the humidity-free, GNAT-FREE, brisk mountain air of Yellowstone National Park.

Tee Off for a Great Cause!

Down on Madison Street you will find an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of our youth. It is made up of a team ready to make a difference. It is a place of hope and encouragement. It is the Marguerite Neel Williams Boys and Girls Club.

The club serves youth ages 6-18 with three locations in Thomas and Grady counties. By providing after school activities in a safe place with structured programs, the club hopes to positively occupy and impact kids during the time when they are most vulnerable to trouble or harm. The goal is to teach them to learn four ‘senses’ that will help them build up their self-esteem. Kids will develop a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and power and influence. Each club participant actively portrays these character traits.

Volunteers and fundraising events help complete the club’s mission to enable all young people, especially those who need them most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Our Boys and Girls club is excited to announce their 5th Annual Golf Tournament. The event will be held on Monday, November 17th at the Glen Arven Country Club.

Registration for the four person scramble will begin at 7:30a with a shotgun start kicking off at 8:30a.

Foursomes can register for $450 and single players can join for $150 each. Singles will be paired with other

'Villians, Get Your Spook On!

single players to form a four man team.

Director of Development and Marking for the BGC, Lori Everett, tells of another exciting incentive to participate in this tournament. “This event will be one of the first few opportunities to play on the newly renovated golf course at Glen Arven Country Club,” says Everett. The renovations will conclude in late October/early November, just in time for this special occasion. Participants will be some of the first to try out the revamped course.

The most important piece to this tournament however, is that the proceeds will benefit all the great things this club is doing. Everett reminds us that the tournament is a great way to enjoy the day outdoors while supporting a worthy cause. What better a cause than helping our local youth?

If you are a golf lover or if you just want to get out and have some fun, check out the tournament information at www.mnw-bgc.org. You can also contact the club at 228-5155 or by email at golf@mnw-bgc. org. Sponsorship information is also available online.

So grab your best teammates, polish your clubs and prepare your heart for a day full of support and giving.

Farm to Table pumpkin ale cupcakes with malt frosting

‘Tis the season for pumpkin everything, and Farm to Table: Delight! will be no exception. One thing you might notice, though, is this is not a pumpkin spice recipe. No, these cupcakes let the true flavor of the pumpkin shine, boosted only by the subtlety of spices in whichever pumpkin-flavored beer you choose. I like using Cigar City Brewing’s Good Gourd or Big Boss Brewing Co.’s Harvest Time, but if you can’t get your hands on those, your favorite pumpkin brew will work just fine. Malt powder, necessary for the frosting, is available in the shelf milk aisle at your local grocery store.

dozen-capacity cupcake pans with cupcake papers. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this bowl aside. Using an electric mixer on low speed, in another large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, pumpkin ale, vanilla extract, and pumpkin. Add in one egg at a time. Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined. Fill the cupcake papers three-quarters full with batter and bake until the cupcakes until an inserted toothpick comes out free of wet batter, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pans for a few minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup butter, room temperature

3 cups powdered sugar

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 cup malt powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Place butter into a large bowl and sift in a third of the powdered sugar. Cream together using a stand or hand mixer on medium speed. When smooth, sift in the malt powder and the remainder of the powdered sugar. Beat together adding the liquid one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Pipe generous dollops of frosting onto cooled cupcakes and garnish with a dash of seasonal spice or candy.

Bigger kids, ahem, adults can hang out after dark, but WA advises that Terror in the Wild is not appropriate for children under 12. They have five scare zones, four haunted attractions and a magic show for adults.

October 25 from 11:00a-1:00p at Thomasville Dog Park, 415 S Pinetree Blvd.

Bacchus Halloween Costume Party: They’ll have DJ Hammonds spinning live. All you have to do is show up in your best costume. October 31 from 9:00p-Midnight at 229 W Jackson St. Pavo Haunted House: If you like to be spooked, look no further than the Pavo Haunted House, which is located inside of the old Pavo School. This year the PHH will feature a clown room, but will also have zombies, paranormal things, old and new types of boogey men.

They threaten that this year is ten times more frightening than last year, so hold onto your britches! Sallie Burgess said, “The goal is to scare you from beginning to end.

Everything inside has completely changed as we do yearly—bigger, longer, and BETTER!”

Kid-O-Ween takes place from 11:00a- 6:00p and Terror in the Wild takes place from dusk to 11:00p on October 18, 19, 25 and 26 at Wild Adventures at 3766 Old Clyattville Road, Valdosta, GA. Terror of Tallahassee: Once again, this is a small haul, but apparently this is a very good haunted house. From the FAQ section of the website (www.radiohorrorhosts. com/terroroftallahassee), "Q: Is it really scary? A: Afraid so! Ask anyone who has been to the corporate haunts (like Universal) and also ours, and the vast majority will acknowledge we're far more intense. We emphasize quality of the experience over quantity of the customers, so we don't push customers through in a continuous line. Our small, intimate groups isolate the customer and prevent them from knowing what to expect around the corner by seeing the reactions of other people ahead in the line... and we have LOTS of corners (and lots behind them)!

We make a less money breaking the line into groups, but the customer satisfaction is worth it.”

Netherworld Haunted House: I admit that driving nearly four hours to go to a haunted house seems a little extreme, but I think that I might bite the bullet and finally go this year. It has been listed on several national lists of best haunted attractions of 2014 including on the Travel Channel and Buzzfeed. Just go to the website: the place looks terrifying. I am willing to bet that this is the scariest haunted house in a 250 mile radius, but what do I know?

The Pavo Fall Festival will be on November 1 starting at 5:00p and is family friendly, but Burgess urges people not to bring young children or toddlers through the haunt as to not ruin the effectiveness of the actors’ performance for those who really want to get scared.

Confessions of a Flats Fishing Addict

musings on the baroness and 'things'

hole 54

Timeline: January 19, 2012 Location: Aucilla River Fishing Buddy: Eric M. Vessel: River Hawk outfitted for salty, skinny water

fairly tight area of limestone ledge offered more fish than the 54 we landed – breakoffs were inevitable as hang-ups occurred on the ledge but there was no sense disturbing the hole to retrieve the rigs.

As any avid fisherman/woman knows, taking someone fishing in a small vessel can be a lot of work. You had better be real good friends with the person on board or it can be a long day!

Luckily for me, fishing buddies in Thomasville are not too hard to come by. A couple of winters ago, one such friend, Eric M., and I longed for the days of old when cold-weather trout could be landed with ease in the Aucilla River. (I remember my first trip there many years ago with Eric’s dad and James Day when they took me - the sleet literally was frozen to our monofilament!

Of course the old-timers instructed me to quit whining.)

Luckily, Eric and I had a very nice 65 degree high for the day when we went. Unfortunately, the fish were nowhere to be found up river so we ventured out to the flats, but had little luck there as well.

As the sun crept lower, so did our trolling battery charge.

We decided to call it a day and head towards the Mandalay landing. Somewhere along the way, Eric suggested a spot he was told sometimes held some fish. Of course, as I am handling trolling motor and setting anchor out and generally handling everything to Eric’s specifications, he is already casting into the hole as the boat comes to stop.

That is my excuse for finishing second with 25 Redfish landed to his 29 over the next hour or so. The classic new penny gulp shrimp (no popping cork) thrown onto a

Being with a great friend helped overcome my secondplace catch total. Eric has since named the spot Hole 54.

I wish my son or daughter could have been with me that day even if they would have caught more than me too!

I am going to rename Hole 54 Hole Zero soon – not another fish have I pulled from the ledge since that day with Eric M.!

Obviously, Eric would kill me if I posted the numbers for the location, but rest assured if you go with fishing with me on the Aucilla it will be on our list of fishing spots tried!

More recently, a trip to the area around St. Marks Lighthouse on August 24th was a hot one – literally and figuratively. After a less than stellar morning, we stayed in the 95-degree heat of the day and were rewarded as the trout turned on around 2 p.m. I had good luck with a pink Mirrodine lure but the floating grass made it too frustrating to continue. Popping corks with white shrimp gulps and pink tails did the trick. Thanks to Larry W. from Perry, Ga whose new Lowe 22 ft center console provided plenty of room for us and our ice and drinks for the hot day!

The divine Meryl Streep played the Baroness Von Blixen in the biographical film "Out of Africa." One of her best lines of dialogue (among many) is, “I like my things. Besides, aren’t you glad I brought my china and my crystal?” Meaning, I like my stuff and I brought it all the way from Denmark to Africa and I’m entertaining you in a grand fashion so don’t make fun of my gear, okay? I once overheard my ex tell some random plus-one at a dinner party I was hosting for a couple then considered fashionable, “Yes, Davey does have nice things. But if someone chips a teacup around here it’s like Armageddon.”

I hated that he felt it necessary to share that with a complete stranger but, yes, it IS like Armageddon. One doesn’t simply run down to the nearest Wal-Mart and pick up another piece of 18th century Limoges Chantilly. My Great Grandmother, who was very tiny, used to say “little people like little things.” She was talking about her bizarre and unexplainable fondness for those ghastly Hummel figures with the creepy eyes. She kept them in a special cabinet of horrors which we all gave a wide berth. Did anyone else’s Mother constantly scream out “this is why we can’t have nice things!” when "something happened?"

The point here is, whether you call them ornaments, accessories or bibelots, our "things" are the icing on the cake of our interior decoration and, in my opinion, say the most about our individual taste and style.

Quoted in the ‘Ville The air is cooler and the light is softer. The third annual season has arrived. What’s your Fall time ritual? –Clay B. Hot tea with honey...every morning! For the past five years we have camped at Reed Bingham State Park during the Halloween festivities.

There is always a super fun haunted house and hay ride. They also have camp fires near the beach where they tell ghost stories and roast marshmallows. I always catch the creative bug when fall hits, the weather just makes me enjoy every activity I do, much more than usual.

— Brandy C. The pool gets covered, usually the first week of October, once the water has dropped below 80 - just a couple of weeks after the official beginning of Fall. Also, I switch the clothes in my closet and put away Spring and Summer clothes. Once I have completed these tasks I start making my Christmas list. — Nancy B. Wandering through the Swedish woods picking berries and mushrooms and preserving them for the winter months. — Carina B. When late September hits, I’m outside as much as possible, even if it is pretending to do yard work. I usually have the TV on the porch tuned to college football, checking in occasionally with the SEC games. The only one I sit and watch is my beloved Auburn Tigers. By October the sun has taken a different angle and has given up on trying to fry us, the light is great, no harshness. Fall is my favorite time of year. — David H.

Any "thing" you have more than three of on display, is on the verge of becoming of a collection. Whether it is wide eyed Hummels, portrait miniatures or china pig figurines a-la Vera Donovan in Dolores Claiborne, one thing I have learned and now recommend is displaying collections together in a grouping whenever possible. This clever maneuver showcases the collection better and allows for compare and contrast of the different pieces to the guest or casual observer. It also alleviates snarky comments from inebriated cocktail party hangers-on such as “she sure has a lot of silhouettes hanging on the wall, where am I, the State Fair?” (True story.) I feel keeping a collection together rather than having it scattered about, highlights the pieces as a whole in a way they cannot be seen singularly.

When accessorizing a home, be aware and think to the future when it comes time for displaying "things." Try to think of all the likely scenarios for and in the space. What about pets? Children? Unstoppable elderly relatives? Over served friends of friends? In other words, putting those Dresden delicacies that cost a mortgage payment on a side table next to the bar might not be such a great idea.

Much like “hey, let’s put these rare first editions next to the Crayola box in the children’s room!” might give one pause.

If, indeed, Armageddon will ensue if "something happens," then be wary of where things are placed and have a word or two with the housekeeper. Even if you are a Baroness.

So much of reading is seasonal, isn't it? I read six books in September, all of which I think transition us perfectly into this season of blankets and candles, cardigans and hot tea.

The Secret Place by Tana French. I discovered Tana French years ago, back when her first book In the Woods came out, and I've been reading her books faithfully ever since. People who've heard of French love her, but for whatever reason, not everyone is familiar with her work. Consider this your introduction: She's a genius. I recommend her to any customer looking for a good suspense; Gillian Flynn -of Gone Girl fame -- is great, but I often find her work a little too dark for my taste. French strikes just the right chord, and her new book is no different. The Secret Place takes place at an all-girls' boarding school, and -- in case you're a Netflix-watcher -- the plot reminded me a bit of the latest season of The Killing (that's a good thing).

Each of French's books build on a minor character from a previous novel, but never fear: Her novels are entirely stand alone, so you can pick up anywhere, and The Secret Place would be a fine place to start. It's Tana French at her best.

Dare Me by Megan Abbott. Customers are always recommending new reads, and although I don't always get to read your suggestions -- my nightstand pile height has reached never-before-seen levels of absurdity -- I try. Dare Me was a customer pick and the perfect companion novel to The Secret Place: disturbing and suspenseful. Author Megan Abbott (who I stumbled across in last month's The Fever) delves into the dramas and dealings of a high school girls' cheerleading squad; it's an oddly accurate -- albeit terrifying -- portrayal of the meanness and cliquishness of high school. Read it, and be filled with immense relief and gratitude your high school years are behind you.

The Categorical Universe of Candice Phee by Barry Jonsberg. The moment this middle reader book came out of the box, I knew I'd have to read it.

(I'm a sucker for pretty covers.) It's a newly-released chapter book -- perfect for middle schoolers and early teens -- reminiscent of The Meaning of Maggie (one of my favorite books of 2014, I think). The story is narrated by 12-year-old Candice Phee, a girl who's quirky and different -- and not, as the reader might first think, autistic. Instead, she's simply growing up in a grieffilled home, trying to mend a decade-long family feud while navigating the tricky world of middle school. I thought the book was well-written and fascinating and fun; unlike so many other books out right now for that middle reader group, this one was realistic and family-oriented instead of fantasy or angst-driven -- a refreshing and welcome change.

Habits of the House by Fay Weldon. Hooray for another customer recommendation! This trilogy by Fay

Weldon is described as a Downton Abbey for intellectuals -- the perfect synopsis given that Weldon was a writer for the BBC series Upstairs Downstairs. I typically shy away from historical fiction -- it's just not my favorite genre -- but I thoroughly enjoyed this book, set in England at the turn of the century. It would be such a fun series to embark on this fall; I've only read the first, Habits of the House, but I've already got the second on hold, and the third releases this December. Fans of Downton Abbey and Kate Morton will want to add this one to their reading lists.

Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham. If you're a millennial, you've heard of Lena Dunham, the writer, director, and producer of the HBO show Girls. She's been called -- both ironically and un-ironically -- the voice of my generation, and despite the fact that her show Girls really isn't my cup of tea, I can't deny Dunham can write. She's got a knack for storytelling, and her newlyreleased memoir is vulnerable and bizarre and really well done. It's, to some extent, a feminist manifesto without being grandiose or self-congratulating, and although Dunham and I are different in almost every way -- many of her stories were completely foreign to my Southern sensibilities -- I found the book to be inexplicably relatable. I finished it in just a couple of days, and while I won't be recommending it to, say, my mother, I understand why 20-somethings are enamored with Dunham. She's someone it seems you could be friends with, even if you have almost nothing in common. Recommended for fans of Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, though here there's some R-rated content thrown in.

Tables in the Wilderness by Preston Yancey. My husband and I are smack dab in the middle of a faith change -- or, perhaps more accurately, a faith search.

We were both raised in Christian homes, surrounded by loving families, earned degrees at a Christian university. When we moved to Thomasville, we began the search for a new church home, perhaps one with different roots than the restorationist church we both were born and brought up in. Enter faith writer Preston Yancey's new memoir Tables in the Wilderness, which I bizarrely read in the same weekend as Not That Kind of Girl. Yancey's book describes his own faith journey from his Southern Baptist roots to the Anglican church he now calls home, and perhaps it was the aching of my own faith-based growing pains, but I found his story to be so comforting. (Yancey's also a Christian college and Great Books graduate, making his stories even more similar to mine.) Yancey's writing style is a bit different from what I'm normally drawn to -- the language sometimes reads like poetry rather than prose -- but I was so taken by the familiarity of his story that I truly loved this book. I'm putting this one on my husband's "required reading" list (and yours, if you're so inclined).
