AUTUMN + APPLES = PIE| FRIDAY FOTOS | 9/23/11     It smells like Apple Pie in my house on this First Day of Autumn!!! North Carolina is home to many Apple Orchards... many of them in the Western part of the state, but we have some around Pinehurst, too! The apples I used today are called "Arkansas Blacks" and they are an heirloom variety from Ken Chappell's Farm just 15 minutes outside of Pinehurst. They are tart & dense when picked, but sweeten with age. I mixed in a few Granny Smith's, too. All my apples came from my produce box which I get bi-weekly as a Member of the Sandhills Farm to Table Cooperative 'Neighbors Feeding Neighbors'.

This past weekend was the member open golf tournament at Pinehurst and the final round was on course No. 2. Though it was cloudy on the final round of the Pinehurst Country Club's golf tournament for the members it was still a success and the temps were a comfortable 65-70 degrees. Cool for this time of year though not a deterrent to the players or the staff running the tournament. Each year Pinehurst holds an open tournament to all of it's members for both the men and the women. There were three divisions for each. The open division was for anyone who wanted to enter and then there was a senior and super senior division for both them men and the women that had age restrictions but there was no discrimination for handicap in any group. I took a short video as the first groups were finis...

WARNING: Don't leave your clean sheets just laying around! SHUTTERBUG SATURDAY | 9/17/11   We are experiencing a chilly, fall-like, rainy Saturday here in Pinehurst today. So, I decided to do some laundry since all outside activities are on hold until tomorrow. I got the first load out of the dryer and went into the Living Room to fold them when my phone rang.  Could be a Buyer calling, ya know...I do have a couple GREAT listings out there right now.... so I ran to answer the call.And, this is what I found when I finally made it back to the pile of 'clean' laundry. That warm pile of soft sheets is now Bree Bree's cozy bed for the day, because I don't have the heart to make her move!

DRINK & DRAW | SOCIABLE ART   A few places around Pinehurst have been advertising 'Sociable Art' events and it peeked my curiosity.  So, I called up one of my new client's (who is also my new found friend) and I invited her to go with me to 'Drink & Draw' at the Mellow Mushroom last night. The event started at 6pm and there were about 25 women signed up for the class. (No men???) There were two rows of tables setup and we each had our very own 16x20 canvas on a tabletop easel, several different brushes and a palette with 6 different colors of paint...all ready to go!  My friend and I sat down in front of our canvases...ordered a couple of beers & a pizza.  Then the real fun began!  The artist/instructor walked us through, step by step, on where to start... how to hold the brush...how to...

SANDHILLS FARM TO TABLE COOPERATIVE FALL 2011 PRODUCE BOXES   I joined the Sandhills Farm To Table Cooperative (SF2T) this past Spring in an effort to eat healthier and in turn support our local Moore County farmers!  I was a little skeptical of the quality of the produce that I might receive for the price per box.  Well, let me tell you, I had absolutely NO REASON to be skeptical!!!  When I picked up my very first box of produce I was MORE THAN pleased!  Everything looked so beautiful and ripe...and every box after that 1st one looked just as GOOD.  The only problem I encountered with my Spring/Summer subscription was that our box was so full of wonderful things that Vince and I were having a difficult time eating it all each week....(I know, hard to believe, but TRUE!).  I started fre...

Motivational Monday | Good Things Come In 3's!   I've been recycling for a while now and I get upset when I go to someone else's home and they don't recycle.  I bite my tongue most of the time, but sometimes I just have to say what's on my mind....RECYCLE!!!  It's SO EASY, too!!!  The Village of Pinehurst made it so easy to recycle household items a few years ago when they stopped requiring the items to be seperated.  ALL recyclable items can go into one container...no seperating paper...no seperating glass...no seperating aluminum, etc. etc. etc. NOW, the Village of Pinehurst has made it even EASIER!!!  We received our Recycle Container (Item #1) today which will be picked up weekly by an automated truck...just like the same trucks that currently pickup our trash/non-recyclables.  Befo...

BOOK REVIEW 'WATER FOR ELEPHANTS' by Sara Gruen   If you don't follow my Blog, then let me just start out by saying... I don't have a favorite author, but I do have a few that I really like.  I'm alway's open to suggestions, so if you've read a book that you just couldn't put down until you finished it...PLEASE, let me know!!! 'Water for Elephants' was recommended to me by a friend who is a member of a local book club.  It is a New York Times Bestseller and a movie has also been released based on the novel.  I haven't yet seen the movie, but as soon as I see it at the Redbox...I'll be renting it for sure. The story is 'one-of-a-kind' in my opinion and spans the life of the main character 'Jacob'.  You know the old saying, "I think I'll runaway and join the Circus"...?  Well, that's EXAC...
