Showtime!
"Honk! Jr" is the musical story of The Ugly Duckling, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors. Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry cat, Ugly must find his way home. Along his journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.
North Hall High School's Hollow Horse Players present "Honk! Jr" on Thursday and Friday, October 6 and 7 at 7:30 pm and Saturday, October 8 at 2 pm. Tickets are $5.00. Performances are in the school theatre.
It's a wonderful show for little kids, a great way to introduce them to live theatre. This is a show you won't want to miss!
Gainesville High School Theatre Department presents "Working" on October 4-6 at 7:30 p.m. tickets are $5.00.
Based on sociologist Studs Turkel's best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working explores the American workday from the Monday morning blues to a working person's pride in having "something to point to." Stephen Schwartz (Wicked) and Nina Faso (Godspell) adapted Working into a stage play, mostly using the original words of some uncommon common men and women.
GHS produced this play in 2005 and I went to see it the night it opened. I ended up going back for every subsequent performance. It's a remarkable play performed by talented young people. Oh, and by the way, our Cheryl Hughes' son Shaun is playing guitar in the orchestra...yet another reason to see it!

N2N Family News
This week, the Times here in Gainesville ran a feature about religion in the schools. They asked our Rachel to write a commentary on the topic and it was published on October 2nd. Click here to read it.
When N2N's Pennie Phillips' husband, Billy, was seriously injured in a workplace accident, many of our customers lent a hand by donating to our in-store bake sale. The proceeds assisted Pennie with the expenses associated with staying with Billy while he recuperated in the hospital in Alpharetta. Pennie sends this message to all of you:
"Thank all of you for prayers and support during this time for Billy and me. Without your prayers I know we would not be as far along as we are. Each day gets a little better. It will be a long road so please keep us in your prayers.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you,
Pennie and Billy"
Whatcha Eatin'?
The only thing better than sweet snacks and salty snacks separately are the two flavor profiles combined to create mouth nirvana. Here's a tasty mix that's different in that it uses brown sugar instead of white. It calls for Honey Grahams but I prefer making it with Life cereal (which is on sale at Ingles right now for $2.50)...either way, it's delicious!
Sweet & Salty Caramel Snack Mix
Recipe adapted from Southern Living
6 cups graham cracker cereal (like Honey Grahams)
1 cup honey roasted peanuts
1 cup salted cashews or macadamia nuts
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup light Karo syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups Pretzel M&Ms (about 1 large bag)
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or wax paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Toss together the cereal and the nuts in a large bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and Karo syrup and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes (3 if you’re at a high elevation) and then remove from heat. Add the vanilla and stir until combined. Drizzle the caramel mixture over the cereal/nut mixture and stir quickly to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. When the caramel mixture has cooled but isn’t solid yet (just a few minutes), add the Pretzel M&Ms and toss gently to combine. Allow to cool completely before serving.
