Hi Neighbors! I hope you are
enjoying these November days.
We can't complain although my
boys do want snow! Even though I
enjoy snow, it can wait till closer to
Christmas.
Have you planned your
Thanksgiving dinner yet? I get to
cook ours this year, and I am ex-
cited. I have always wanted to
cook the dinner ever since I was
married. I think Morn is finally
ready to turn over the reins for
good. The boys and I are planning
decorations and table pieces.
Since I haven't cooked the dinner
in awhile (I cooked it once years
ago), I am busy figuring out when
to start everything! Oh, but I am
having fun! smiles
Ask And You Shall Receive
At the Citizens' Association
meeting last month, a few voiced
their concerns over Tuscawilla be-
ing used as a shortcut between
Route 51 and Summit Point Road.
Neighbors at my end of Ridge have
seen an increase in traffic becom-
ing lost on our Dead End cul - de-
sac, Cherry Court. Yards have
been torn up and signs knocked
down by lost tractor trailers trying
to turn around!
We were afraid that this would
only get worse when the humps
are taken out of Route 51, so we
requested a Dead End sign near
the turn for Shenandoah Street.
We got it last week, and we have
only seen one lost concrete truck!
Kudos to our road maintenance
crew and Al Hooper for correcting
this potentially dangerous situa-
tion.
Contest Update
The staff at our local branch
bank, F & M Bank, had a lot of fun
at their recent Halloween Cos-
tume Contest. Over twenty chil-
dren participated in the contests
and the games that followed. The
staff was disappointed that their
pictures did not turn out clearer,
but I do have a list of the winners.
Winners in the 0-3 year old di-
vision are as followers: Most
Original - Madison Hines, Cutest -
Zachary Began, and Funniest -
Aaron Renner.
Winners in the 4-6 year old di-
vision are as follows: Most Origi-
nal - Paul Sibrell, Cutest - Paula
Irving, Scariest - Samantha
Stilley, and Funniest - Dylan
Ceravalo.
And", finally, winners in the 7
and up division are Lesley Riley -
Most Original, Cutest - BreAnn
Diehl, Funniest - Brendan Irving,
and Susan Irving and Lindsay
Dillow for Most Original.
Plans are already underway for
next year's contest and party.
Congratulations to all of the
winners, and a big pat on the back
to all of the staff.
Geek
Yeah Liz is an official geek
now! She found out last week that
she will be inducted into the Na-
tional Honor Society in December!
Being a former geek myself, I am
particularly proud of her!
Yeah, Liz! I guess the teachers
have called you "Karen" for a
reason scary, isn't it? smiles
Food Drive
This Saturday Cub and Boy Scout
#948 will be distributing door han-
gars explaining the upcoming food
drive in Tuscawilla Hills. Please
read these hangars and keep them
on the inside of your front door so
that you will not forget to place
the food outside next week.
The boys will be back on Satur-
day, November 21 to collect the
food. This food will be distributed
to the Community Ministries Food
Pantry. Let's show them that Tus-
cawilla cares! Please give gener-
ously next Saturday.
The Gift of Music
Last week a piano student of
Susan Tabb's called to tell me
what a wonderful neighbor we
have in the 'Hills. Seems Susan
has been teaching piano for a
number of years and loves sharing
her gift of music to young and old.
The student who called me
takes lessons with her daughter,
and both enjoy it immensely. Ku-
dos, Susan, for sharing your tal-
ents!
Open House
Take the time this Saturday .to
reminisce with old friends at Page
Jackson Elementary School. This
year marks twenty years for this
kindergarten through third grade
school. Former teachers, aides
and principals will be on hand to
celebrate and see the changes to
the school.
To me, this is all weird. Neigh-
bors that grew up in Charles Town
can understand.
You see, I went to Wright
Denny for first through third
grades. (Kindergarten was op-
tional when I went. I went to the
current Ranson Senior Center for
kindergarten). For fourth through
sixth grades, I went to the now
Board of Education Building; then
it WAS Page Jackson. To me, go-
ing back to an open house at Page
Jackson means seeing my "old"
teachers Dale Manuel, Cynthia
Snyder, Betty Roper, et al. What it
really means is going to see my
early teachers Vickie Lotts, Bill
Reed, Dot Tay'lbr, and four others
who never taught at the current
Page Jackson. Confused?!? Me,
too!
Anyway, David and I are hop-
ing to get Llz to go with us. I'm
sure her all time favorite teacher,
Gail Sherman, will be on hand for
the festivities. In fact, I'm hoping
to see several that I had and/or
taught along side of a few years
ago. I also want to see this ru-
mored eight foot cake! smiles
Hope to see you at Page Jack-
son between 2 and 4 p.m. on Sun-
day.
New Sign
Speaking of former schools,
have you seen the new sign at
Wright Denny Elementary? It re-
ally stands out and looks great. If
you haven't, spin by Congress
Street the next time you need to go
through town.
Christmas
Christmas is only 43 days
away!
Have you started your Christ-
.mas shopping? I am almost done
the shopping portion. The boys
and l will be busy making gifts in
the upcoming weeks. If you see all
of us glued together, you will know
that Timmy got a hold of the glue
stick! smiles
Seriously, I can't figure out
,what this year's "gotta have it toy"
is, have you? The bouncy Tigger is
cute, but how often can it bounce
before it gets on one's nerves?
smiles
The boys have not "needed"
anything yet, and I'm hoping that
they will stay low-key (yeah,
right). In fact, last week at our lo-
cal superstore, we stopped by the
DKS Ministries Forgotten Chil-
dren tree and took an angel tag
home with us. The boys eagerly
shopped for toys for our selected
child and will wrap them this
weekend and return them to the
box at the store. I was proud of
their selections, practical yet
loads of fun. We have told all of
our friends so that all of the angels
will be gone before long. If you can
help, stop by our local superstore
and select an angel today.
Perfect Ornaments
Mark your calendars because
the Christmas season officially
Starts on November 21 when the
Asbury Methodist Church holds
its annual bazaar.
The boys can not wait to select
their tree ornaments and eat the
delicious fudge and cookies! Last
week they were gazing at the
Christmas shop in a local store
and were begging me to buy some
Christmas "stuff'. I told them we
couldn't until the church bazaar
kicked off the season. They both
remembered the fun of finding
that perfect ornament at last
year's bazaar so they wanted to
wait.
New Neighbors
Several new neighbors are now
calling the 'Hills home.
Please welcome Paul and Jes-
sica Toye Clark to Baltusrol Court,
as well as Bruce Clabaugh to
Baltusrol Court.
Marion and Christy Taylor
have moved to Northridge Drive.
The Hines, Darren and Tiffany,
have also moved to Northridge
Drive.
Helen Mattei has moved from
Baltusrol Court to Berkeley
Court,
Hilda and William Beall have
moved back to Westhall Drive.
Welcome back, you two.
And finally, the Russell family
has settled into their home on
Douglas Drive.
Welcome, one and all. Enjoy
decorating your new homes for the
holidays.
Dual Purpose Craft
David came home on Monday
and shared this cool turkey craft
with us. Timmy, Andy and I had
fun doing it.
Cut a turkey head and neck out
of brown paper. Cut a beak out of
orange paper and glue it on the
head. Now cut out feet (yellow
and orange) and two turkey wings.
Find a great school paper you
want to display or use a blank
white sheet. Glue the turkey head
on the top of the paper. Now glue
the wings on either side, and feet
on the bottom.
David and Andy used blank pa-
per and wrote "This year try
ham!". Timmy got to use his be-
loved glue stick and glued shapes
all around the turkey's midsection
(and to the table, and to himself
smiles).
David said that his teacher let
each student pick a great paper to
display for this turkey craft, and
now they are hanging in the hall.
What a nice idea!
Feathers of Thanks
This year while your family is
watching football while dinner is
cooking, have them fill out large
feathers with what they are
thankful for. Have the kids collect
the feathers and assemble a large
turkey on a door or window near
the table. This is a neat spin that
doesn't put family members on the
spot. They can add to the turkeys
as the evening winds down. The
goal is to see how full many feath-
ers the turkey will have the by the
time everyone leaves.
Family too far-flung to get to-
gether? Mail them feathers to fill
out and return or call them with
what they want included. Make
sure you take plenty of pictures to
distribute.
Enjoy!
Christmas Craft
It is not too soon to start on
those Christmas gifts. This one
can be done by all family mem-
bers, even the wee little ones.
Find a carpet sample the size of
a doormat. Make sure it is
bounded around all of the edges]
Paint your children's feet with wa-
terproof paint and let them walk
on or place their footprints on the
carpet. Add their names, and a
huge "welcome". Recipients will
love these personalized doormats!
Enjoy!
