Welcoming fall

By | Buy local, Community, Holidays, News | No Comments

Where did September go?  I was engrossed in hand-beading a Christmas stocking for our newest grandchild, who’s now 7 months old. That took about two weeks; a tradition started by my mother. I still have some of her glass beads left from the 1940’s & 50’s.

Glorious fall is turning the color wheel upside down. Part of me is mourning the close of such a short summer (I love flip flops), but autumn is still one of our favorite times of year. Tom & I will be celebrating 40 years together on October 15th, (yes, I still wear my original wedding ring on “hand”) and we’re going to the most famous place of all for fall – New England.

We’re going to be exploring up the coast of Maine, eating plenty of lobster, taking a Windjammer sail, and hoofing it around Boston proper learning our countries profound history; expanding my horizons academically, culinary, and visually. We never have had time to take trips like this, nor seen the east coast north of Charleston, so I am excited. And as a bonus we’ll be flying over New York City!

If any of you have any ideas and/or suggestions as to what not to miss, where you foodies have got to go, or the best place to watch a sunset, or “I wish I would have packed that!” please let us know. We want to do it all!

From our Angus Brands family to yours, we wish you a fall filled with delicious flavors, cozy scarfs, and beautiful colors.

Thank you to Spokane’s First Responders

Do you ever hear sirens in the middle of the night? The louder they get towards your home; you wonder if someone is in trouble? Is there a fire somewhere? Is it close to you?

We don’t always put in perspective how, at a moment’s notice and without truly knowing the unpredictable situation they are called into, what these brave people deal with everyday risking their lives and jeopardizing the future of their own families.

On Friday, July 14th we held our 2nd Annual First Responders Appreciation BBQ. Spokane’s police, sheriffs, and firefighters dropped by for a free juicy Angus Brands’ grab-n-go burger lunch.

Our son-in-law has been serving on the Swat Team in Charlotte, North Carolina for over 14 years. Tom and I are proud to be a part of the ‘Blue Family.’ We have seen things and events that sometimes are very hard to comprehend or process. So, this is our way of thanking Spokane’s Finest.

Our First Responders are terrific. They’re just like the rest of us with a great sense of humor. It was a joy to seeing them smile, laugh, and relax for just a short time. They talked about their families, showed us fishing pictures, and expressed how much they love what they do while raising their kids in Spokane.

They really appreciated what we did for them but we can never show just how much we value them.

Angus Brands also wishes to thank those who back-up our First Responders: Dispatchers, 911 operators, and all the support staff who keep everything calm, organized, and in control.

We knew one First Responder, now we know 46. Next year we hope to meet more of you.
