California Here We Come

It's that time of year. Tomorrow our car, luggage and our precious dog, Paprika take off for California with our driver Sandy. Lucky Dog! En route Paprika gets to spend a few days in Tucson with Sandy's husband and parents. A true Doggie Getaway.

Not so lucky us. We leave at the end of the week to face the crowds and uncertainties of airports. Flying offers so many mysteries. Never know if and when you'll take off or land. At least we won't have to wonder where our baggage will be landing!

Giving Thanks

All of us who had a Thanksgiving dinner with loved ones are especially thankful this year. So many of our neighbors were not able to put the traditional feast on their tables.

We enjoyed a boundless feast at Suzan and Lee's house with our dear friends Betty & Paul. It was a special treat to have our daughter Betty here with us in St. Louis. She and Mark made our day even more celebratory.

Now it's time to think about the upcoming holidays and give more thanks by filling the shelves of food pantries with nourishing foods. Check with your local pantry to see if they distribute fresh produce for a balanced diet. And don't forget the plastic jars of nutritious peanut butter.

And food for thought - see that children receive books that make them laugh. Hope you'll send copies of "The Perils of the Peanut Butter Kid" as I do. Take advantage of my special low birthday prices now being offered on my website: www.perilsof the peanutbutterkid.com

A happy, healthy holiday season to all.

SHARE SOME PEANUT BUTTER

Yesterday the Press Club of Metropolitan St. Louis held a very enlightening forum about "Poverty". We all know there is way too much of it going on in our country but hearing the facts and numbers was disheartening. As more and more people are using their jobs and homes and insurance, hunger is increasing at perilous rates. Ary ou helping out your local food pantry? The food supplies go out quicker than they can fill the shelves. They need your donations.

I learned that many of the pantries are now including fresh produce in with their food. Find out if your pantry is helping make their offerings even more nutritious. Dont forget to donate some nutritious peanut butter. It's on every list.

Get a little peanut butter for your mind at www.perilsofthepeanutbutterkid.com As they say, man doesn't live by food alone.

Cancer Support

I was just thinking about how marvelous it is that Gilda's Club has joined the International Wellness Community. More people working together to achieve the same goals. Their mutual goal: providing free support, education and hope to cancer patients and their families. If someone you love or if you are being treated for cancer, visit their website: www.thewellnesscommunity.org for the most wonderful support you'll ever find.

As you may know, I have been donating money from every book (The Perils of the Peanut Butter Kid) to The Wellness Community.

Visit my website (www.perilsofthepeanutbutterkid) to find out about the book. It's a win-win situation. You will not only help improve the quality of life of cancer patient and their families, you will laugh your way through the award-winning book

A SUCCESSFUL SHOW

Thanks to the great organizational ability of Susan Fadem, the weekend of 'Holiday Irresistibles" was a very well-attended show. I was thrilled to know that the adventures of Elmer in my book, "The Perils of the Peanut Butter Kid" was going to be read by so many more new, young readers. The feed-back from the people attending who already owned the book was so heartening. When somebody says, "it's my daughter/son's favorite book. I have to read it every night." I feel like I just received the Pulitzer Prize.

One of the things they share is that they love the book because it is not violent like so many children's books are today. They are all waiting for me to get out the sequel, "The Perils of the Peanut Butter Dog".

I hope some agents and/or publishers are reading this and make the publication faster.

Still looking for a company that would like to make TPPBK into an animated short. Know anyone?

Home Show of Irresistibles

Guess what! I will be a part of Susan Fadem's Holiday Home Show of Irresistibles tomorrow, Sunday, Nov. 8 between 1:00 and 4:00 P.M.. I will be signing copies of my book, THE PERILS OF THE PEANUT BUTTER KID at a special price of $15.00. The holidays are sneaking up on us. Give the youngsters in your life something to giggle about.

What Susan Fadem started five years ago with a couple of friends has blossomed into her biggest-yet Holiday Home Show of Irresistibles!, this time featuring 15 vendors and artists with everything from fabulously priced women's clothing and jewelry (you won't believe the savings!) to adorable baby stuff, handbags, photo sculptures and blankets, cosmetics (great stocking stuffers!) and the new LoveCap necklaces, plus psychic readings and mini-massages.
Talk about one-stop holiday shopping, refreshments included. It's all under one roof at Susan'shouse, 48 Highgate Road in Olivette, 63132. Show time is Sunday, Nov. 8. (Highgate Road is off Old Bonhomme Road, between Dielman and Price roads.)
Bring cash and checks. Some vendors accept credit cards. Friends welcome! For information, call 314-780-6001.

PEANUT BUTTER LOVERS MONTH

November brings Thanksgiving with its turkey and dressing and lots of yummy gravy. But there's something else special going on this month, too. November is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month.

Make the most of it! Ice apple slices with peanut butter, smear some peanut butter on bacon strips, marshmallows, bananas, and pears. Mix it up with chocolate chips. Cover your pretzels with your favorite brand. And don't forget the traditional and always wonderful peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Bring jars of peanut butter and jelly to your local food pantries to share with those who are unable to afford food at this time. Peanut butter is one of their most needed staples. So nutritious.

Wrap your puppy's vitamins in the gooey delicious spread. Doggies love the taste.

Bake some peanut butter snacks - cookies and cakes. Put it on your ice cream. Be creative and discover new tastes.

Hope you'll also purchase a copy of my book, "The Perils of the Peanut Butter Kid" to give/read to your favorite peanut butter lover. Go to my website: http://www.perilsofthepeanutbutterkid/ to purchase the book at special birthday celebration prices.

Whatever you do, put a big smile on your face and some peanut butter in your mouth
