It has been eventful 10/31/2008
...but not necessarily noteworthy. 
 We got around 8 or 9" of snow about a week ago, but it has since melted away. It was nearly 70Degrees yesterday! Very nice. Cannot complain about the weather we have had in October this year. Typically in Colorado, Halloween day (today) is cold and either rainy or snowy. This year looks as if it will be pretty nice. We aren't going out tonight. We had two events in the past week and that is enough. We went to Woodland Park to the Ute Pass Cultural Center and played some games and got Sophie's face painted and had a photo taken of the three of us.  
Because I have been planning for the Thanksgiving dinner orders already for this year, I'll add a quick little note here about Thanks giving. (If you want to see my menu, you can visit Pie In The Sky Foods Or contact me for free consultation on how to make tasty cruelty free thanksgiving dishes) With health (eating without cholesterol, chemicals, hydrogenated oil, trans fats, GMO's), the environment (pollution, factory farming being the highest cause of green house gasses), and animal cruelty (downer cows, CA's prop 2) in the news heftily recently, I think this is appropriate. Consider having a Gentle Thanksgiving this year. The nearly 300 million turkeys killed each year in the U.S. spend their entire lives crammed in large dark sheds with little room to move. Artificially inseminated and selectively bred and genetically modified to gain enormous amounts of weight. Turkey flesh is loaded with cholesterol and saturated fats, which have been linked conclusively with an elevated risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases that kill 1.3 million Americans annually. In addition to threatening personal health, factory farming is a global problem. Much of the 10 billion pounds of manure generated by 7,300 turkey farms in 33 states ends up in our drinking water. Grain fed to turkeys is denied to millions of starving people in the world's most impoverished nations. Please read on as there is more information; including information about Free Range Turkeys:( read more)  Thank you for reading! Now I must get back to work! And just to be sure that you leave here with a smile on your face and a song in your head (I should have said heart, but this one will stay in your head) Wordless Wednesday :: Kissing Camels 10/22/2008
