Missing Sodus Happy Halloween! I'm not sure how the Liberian family that Mother of Sorrows are sponsoring feel about the whole situation. People helping out the family tried to explain, but it's one of those things you have to experience to really understand, I think. For all of the holidays, my mother always made sugar cut out cookies. I will admit they are a lot of work and appreciate her baking them for us. This week, a few days before Halloween, we made them - a family tradition with a new twist? Tomorrow, Sat., Nov. 1, the Williamson Fire Dept. will have a chicken barbecue beginning at 2 p.m.
Don't forget to get out and vote on Tuesday. That's also the day for the annual Williamson Rotary Breakfast. They'll be serving at the American Legion from 6 to 10 a.m. The Harvest Dinner at Pultneyville Reformed Church is Wed., Nov. 5 at 6:30 p.m. The Sodus Rotarians are holding their Apple Pie Contest, to be judged at their annual Pasta Dinner on November 14. Call 483.2222. The Used Book Sale at the Sodus Library starts Thursday, Nov. 6 at noon. The Kraft Shack news: WE BELIEVE IN ANGELS, Thurs., Nov. 6, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This wooden angel hangs from a banner that says 'We Believe in Angels' and three wooden hearts dangle from her hands. Simple painting and decorating. $20 includes all. GINGERBREAD GIRL, Mon., Nov. 10, 6:30 to 9 p.m. She is so cute. This 2 foot tall gingerbread girl is painted then decorated with a collar, cinnamon heart, bows and a garland of material strips and cooking utensils. $29 includes all. ONE STROKE PAINTING, Wed., Nov. 12, 6:30 to 9 p.m. Learn to paint a snowman, star and pine tree on a wooden birdhouse shape. $30 includes all. Please pre-register for all classes. There will be a Turkey Party tomorrow, Saturday, November 1 at Sodus Fire Hall, 7 p.m. (Where did October go?) Tues., Nov. 4, there's an Election Day Chicken & Biscuit Dinner at Sodus United Methodist Church, 4:30-7 p.m. Fri., Nov. 7, there's a Turkey Party at Sodus Point Fire Hall, 7 p.m. and one in Alton next Saturday. Don't forget to go to Al Dobbin's house to trick or treat. His daughter Sue and granddaughter Jennie are going to help him pass out the goodies this year. Recently, Al had eye surgery and is very pleased at how well he can see again. He says there is no more need for glasses, except for reading. (Good for you, Al. I'm glad your surgery was so successful.) Weight Watchers recipe: Mini Brownie Candy Bars Ingredients:

Add applesauce, water, vanilla extract and egg whites; blend well. Spoon batter into pan and smooth top; sprinkle with Bits. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into 16 pieces. If you have great recipes you'd like to share, please send them along to me. Did you know there was a castle so close? Bonnie Castle Farm Bed and Breakfast, Sodus Bay, Wolcott. Bonnie Castle Farm Bed and Breakfast, stands as a haven of warmth and charm overlooking the east side of Great Sodus Bay. 'Bonniecastle' originated on fifty-seven acres of Sodus Bay waterfront property purchased in 1887. It was developed as a resort, with a hotel and four summer homes. Guests would travel to 'Bonniecastle' by horse and carriage or by steamboat from Sodus Point. During the 1890's and the early 1900's, 'Bonniecastle' was a well-known flourishing resort area, and the Pendleton family home and guest house are two of the original four homes that are pictured on several postcards of that era. Bonnie Castle Farm continues to retain its 'turn-of-the-century' flavor today.
Have a great week and hopefully the weekend will be as warm as the weathermen said it will be. Have a safe and Happy Halloween Copyright
