Happy Haunted Halloween!!!

Today looks better than yesterday but still cold. It must be very windy because my wind chimes tinkled all night - I guess it's time to take them down. Heard a parent say that she's taking her children trick or treating at the Southbridge Mall in MC and that she heard a lot of parents were doing the same thing. It certainly would be much warmer & drier! Really, Really tired of the rain. Winnabago River has flood warnings.
I plan to travel to Nora Springs today for their BIG Harvest Day. It goes from 9am-3pm. They even have hayrides! Terri A. and I will be doing the town! She wants to start the day off with breakfast at the Nora Inn.
Spooktacular Birthday Wishes to Linda A. & Denita P.
The Michael Jackson movie is playing in MC this week. I think I'll go to it tomorrow. Sybil J. wants to go. Maybe Terri A. will go too. I'll let you know.

Happy Haunting!

Good Day!

The weather here is a little dreary and damp. Better than snow!!
On Thursday I helped at the Conference JH/JV/V cross country meet. It wasn't too bad until the boy's race. Shortly after they started, the rain started. My job was to hand out the placing numbers to runners as they crossed the finish line. 48 soaked, gasping, tired V boy's XC runners took a number from me. I was glad I had a hat and coat. I gave my umbrella to the girl working beside me.
Last night I baked 2 doz. blueberry scones for the Court Isabella CDA Harvest Tea scheduled for this morning. I've already dropped them off at church. Yes, they were from Martin Brothers. And yes, I've eaten some. It looks really nice. The program is "Blessing Baskets" and baskets will be available for purchase. [of course]. The menu is tea sandwiches, scones, tea cookies, and TEA!
I hear Deb Dvorak is back in town! I plan to get together with her. She has been coaching and teaching in Alaska. I bet she has some stories to tell!!!
Cricket is getting clever! She now can open the cupboard door where I keep her treats and get one for herself from the box. I'm going to have to move the treats or I won't have any left!
Terri & John might be getting a new dog. Duncan will have a new brother! They hope to adopt Scotty the dachshund. He's a 3 year old male.
Well, I'll close for now - TLESR

Happy Birthday, Tina!! You're 52 today!!!

What a wet day! I'm supposed to work at the Conference Cross Country meet tonight at Klemme. We'll know by 1:30 pm today it the meet's still on. I have packed boots, winter coat, hat, umbrella, extra pants and sweatshirt, mittens & scarf! If the meet is cancelled it will be held tomorrow.
I need to make 2 doz. scones for the St. Boniface CDA Harvest Tea to be held on Saturday.
The farmer around here are aching to get into the fields. Hopefully during the next 3 days they will be able to get in and harvest.
Well. I'll close for now.

Enjoy life's everyday gifts!

I Have Been Changed For Good

WICKED was wonderful!!!! Although it looked like we might not get to see it for a short time, the wait/stress was worth it. I won't spoil it for you, but let me tell you, it was great. Yes, it was my first Broadway production. I would see it again!! I got a number of souvenirs, too! Thanks to Lynne, Tina & Sadie for sharing the experience with me. Let's go again!!!!! You can also check out original Broadway performances on www.YouTube.com.
Also, if you can, stay at the Hotel Memorial Union on the ISU campus. Nice, clean, inexpensive rooms/suites and free ramp parking. A continental breakfast is served on the weekends, too.
It snowed here in Iowa yesterday. TOO EARLY FOR THAT!! I have to work at a cross country meet in Klemme on Wed. - I hope it's warm!
I got a regular flu shot today. It seems I don't qualify for the H1N1 shot at this time. They are vaccinating young children and health care workers first.
This Sat. is the CDA Harvest Tea at 10:00am in Garner. If anyone wants a ticket let me know. Sunday is CDA Sunday.

Birthdays this week:

• 11-OCT - Gretchen H.
• 15-OCT - Tina S-R

Happy B-day to YOU!

Until next time,

Theresa

This is my first blog here, but not my first attempt at a blog.

What have I been doing? reading Sent by Margaret Peterson Haddix, cleaning the house, sleeping, working. Pretty exciting, huh? I put over 100 pictures on my facebook space on yesterday. Look for "Theresa LeeAnn Reiter" - that's me - on fb.
Today I was in Britt. I had 2 classes in the elementary [K & 2nd]. Tomorrow I'll be in Belmond. We had lots of sweet treats in the elem side today. I ate too much [imagine that!].
I have been busy looking/planning the annual Sherrill Women Get-Away. I have several ideas: 1. Spa Resort in Arizona, 2. Cruise from CA to Mexico & back, 3. B&B/Tours in Gettysburg, PA, 4. Mystery Weekend in SC. - to name a few. Any ideas?
This weekend, Tina, Sadie, Lynne & I are going to Des Moines to watch the Broadway play, Wicked. Saturday night Sadie is staying with Lynne in her dorm and Tina & I are staying in the ISU Memorial Union Hotel. This should be FUN!

That's all for now - TLESR
