Fall's here and we're working as hard as we can to get out all the sweaters, coats, jackets and other cold-weather gear. You'll want to stop by often- we're putting out about 400 pieces a day!

Everybody loves the Wild Card Sale- pick a card to find out where your 30% discount is- tops? pants? kid's clothes? Pick a card and see!
My husband, Arthur, and I each write twice-a-month columns for The Times here in Gainesville. His deal with computing and technology issues. Mine deal with whatever strikes my fancy.

Learn something every day
Learn Something Every Day is a quirky little site that has an app and email to send you an interesting fact every day. Did you know that Britain's smallest bird is the Firecrest? It weighs the same as a teaspoon of sugar. Chick here to get your daily facts.
Recycle surprise
Here's a great video in which a flash mob shows a crowded mall why it's a good idea to recycle whenever you have the chance. Click here to check out the video with the surprising end.
Shopping support
Now here's a great idea: Smarterpresents.com lets you plug in the age and sex of the person you're shopping for and the site gives you suggestions for gifts in every price range. Then it directs you to the order page on Amazon.com. I did a couple of trial runs using Arthur and the girls as subjects and the suggestions were all good. Check it out and see what you think.

N2N Family News
Our Rachel spent the summer in Israel as a Bronfman Youth Fellow. Many of you helped with her expenses by supporting her bake sales in the shop- thanks again! Rachel's written an article about her trip for The Times. Click here to read it.
Whatcha Eatin'?
Hummus
Since Rachel's returned from Israel she's had a taste for Middle Eastern foods- hummus, felafel, lots of fresh veggies and pita. Here's a great hummus recipe- oh, so good and much more economical than the store-bought kind!
2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup tahini (sesame seed paste- in a pinch you can use peanut butter)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch paprika
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt and garlic in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl.
Drizzle olive oil over the garbanzo bean mixture.
Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
Serve with fresh cut carrots, celery, cucumber, zucchini rounds, pita chips...the possibilities are endless.
Wise Words
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy."It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.
The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed."
