COMMENTS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
“I received one of your gift baskets and couldn’t believe the quality of your products. Everything arrived safely here in Afghanistan. The keepsake basket was filled to the brim with products that were fresh and tasted great. The basket made it seem like a very personal gift instead of a care package. Thanks!”
John, Afghanistan

Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, currently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in theUnited States" since 1863. Thanksgiving was historically a religious observation to give thanks to God. In America Thanksgiving Day is a time to offer thanks, for families and loved ones to gather to celebrate a holiday meal. A time of turkeys, stuffing and pumpkin pie. You can view holiday parades with giant balloons and family football games as well as football games on TV.
Did You Know?
The turkey and the bald eagle were considered for the National Symbol for America?
More than 45 million turkeys are cooked and eaten in the U.S. at Thanksgiving?
Age is a determining factor in taste. Old, large males are preferable to young toms (males) as tom meat is stringy. The opposite is true for females: old hens are tougher birds.
Turkeys are the only breed of poultry native to the Western Hemisphere.
Turkeys have great hearing, but no external ears. They can also see in color, and have excellent visual acuity and a wide field of vision (about 270 degrees), which makes sneaking up on them difficult. However, turkeys have a poor sense of smell (what's cooking?), but an excellent sense of taste.
Turkeys sometimes spend the night in trees.
The gobble is a seasonal call that only males make. Female turkeys make a clicking noise. Males, or, toms, gobble when they hear loud noises and when they settle in for the night. One can hear a turkey gobbling up to a mile away on a quiet day.We want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving Day.

As we approach the end of the month our neighborhood ghost and goblins will be coming to our doors looking for treats. Let's keep our children safe by following some smart safety tips.
1. Make sure your children are able to move safely in their costume so as not to cause trips or falls.
2. Make sure your children wear costumes made of flame retardant fabric: make sure it says “flame resistant” on the label. If you make the costumes for your children, use flame resistant fabrics such as polyester or nylon.
3. Costumes used for trick-or-treating should be visible in the dark. Wear bright, reflective costumes or add strips of reflective tape.
4. You do not want you children to have obscured vision when they are walking on the sidewalks, crossing streets and walking up steps. It is safer to wear makeup and hats than masks.
5. Test the makeup you plan to use on your children by putting a small amount on their arm a couple of days in advance. If they get a rash, redness, swelling, or other signs of irritation they may be allergic to the make-up.
6. Don’t wear decorative contact lenses unless you have seen an eye care professional and gotten a proper lens fitting and instructions for using the lenses.
7. Before leaving home, make sure your child or children have a flashlight or glow sticks to aid in seeing in the dark and in being seen.
8. Beware of carved pumpkins with candles. Costumes can catch on fire.
9. Always inspect treats before letting your children eat them. Unwrapped candies or treats should be discarded. If you child has If you child has peanut or food allergies, inspect the goodies with the allergy in mind.
10. Not all candies and treats are good for all ages. Very young children shouldn't have small, hard items such as chewing gum, peanuts or hard candies as these can be choking hazards.
11. Treat-or-Trick in neighborhoods you know or at house parties or church events.
12. Remind your children to stay on the sidewalk and watch out for cars.
13. An adult should be with their children to keep them out of harms way.
Have a safe and Happy Halloween

Our children have returned to school and we need to make it as easy as possible for them. Going back to school is always stressful for your child, new classroom, new teacher, and trying to make new friends. We need to do everything we can to make it a very smooth transition for them starting with really great routines.
- Remember the old adage, "Early to bed, early to rise"...this is something simple and easy to remember.
- Make sure your child takes their bath or shower the night before. This will eliminate a lot of hassles the next morning when there never seems to be enough time.
- Check to make sure all of the homework is done before your child goes to bed. Never assume that it is done.
- Get lunches packed the night before, backpacks or school bags packed, clothes set out to wear before bedtime, let the child help. Make sure everything is done so there are no surprises in the moring.
- Give single instructions and on give instructions once.
- You are the parent and you need to set the tone without yelling or arguing the next morning.
- Let your child know there will be consequences if they do not do things in the alloted time period.
- As a parent you need to be actively involved in these routines.
If you develop good routines both you and your children will have stress fee mornings to start your day.
