Halloweem Memories

Sharon Ashwood

Halloween, like Christmas, brings back a lot of childhood memories. I remember the black cat costume my mom made me when I was seven, black bubble gum that stained tongue and teeth and made all the kids look like plague victims, and countless pumpkins. Maybe it’s all those happy memories that makes me write about witches, vampires, and demons. I want the Halloween fun to last forever! I have great memories of a lot

"Damn, You're Hot" Isn't Always a Compliment

Sharon Ashwood

Have your nearest and dearest started calling you Sparky and making the sign of the cross every time you walk through the door? Has someone filled the water cooler at your office with holy water?

In other words, you've become a Fire

The origins of Halloween

"Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).

The Strange Case of the Wimp and the Haunted House

Shanna Swendson

I have to admit that Halloween isn't my favorite holiday, mostly because I'm a big weenie. I don't like being startled or scared, so you won't find me visiting haunted houses. I only tried that once, when I was nine. I thought I was all grown-up and ready to handle scary things, so I talked my mom into taking a friend and me to the local Jaycees haunted house. I

Celebration of Autumn! Favorite Beer Bread Recipe

Amanda McIntyre

Autumn brings a variety of treasured traditions to our house. In addition to the Friday night lights of high school football, we break out the fall decorations and enjoy the quest of who will be the first to spot Brach's candy pumpkins.
