A cinnamon spice fresh pear cake captures the Taste of Fall with its moist texture, chunky pears and flavorful cinnamon. I’ve reduced the fat by replacing the oil with healthy applesauce. What a delicious way to use this season’s pears!

I made a beautiful fall tablescape using natural materials typically found on the ground or in trees & bushes this time of year. The eco-warrior in me loves that this is all natural yet so beautiful.
No reason to buy something plastic or disposable to celebrate such a beautiful season. It was super easy to do, eco friendly, costs nothing and looks great. Come see what I did.

And the lowly slow cooker makes it so easy too. Check it out!

We don’t typically decorate for Halloween, but the weaning calves weren’t hearing of it.
They did their own rendition of ‘Spooky Hay Bale’.
Good job, kids!

September 11th, 2001, a day most Americans were changed forever. I worked at an international trade association and they held a huge convention each year in September.
As the Director of Administrative Services, it was part of my job to attend this convention each year along with other executives of our association. It’s a huge amount of work and it takes many hands to assure a smooth successful convention.
This year the convention was in Florida. So I packed the night before to make sure I can get to the airport the next day to make my early-morning flight.
Little did I know this day would change my life and the lives of all my fellow Americans forever!
