Red Key WrapsOn Nov. 5, members from the Red Key Network took on the role of Santa's elves and

wrapped gifts for Santa to hand out to critically ill children this year. The Red Key Network provides support to women in business in Geauga County through education, mentoring, and networking. Donations from this year's Christmas gathering will be given toward Santa's effort as well. Santa's Hide-A-Way Hollow (www.santashideawayhollow.com) is located just east of Middlefield and is not open to the public. Santa and Mrs. Claus work to help families during very difficult times in their lives by providing a wonderful Christmas Spirit experience.

GivingBy Susan Dacek

This is the time of the year our society thinks about giving. People give to many different causes for many

different reasons. They give to people who might not have enough to enjoy a big Thanksgiving dinner. They donate shoe boxes filled with needed items for children around the world. They give to families in the military especially the children whose parents are overseas. They give to the United Way and the Red Cross and food pantries and young cancer patients. The places to give seem endless, however there are a lot of ways to give besides monetary gifts.

Today we honor the men and women that fought for our country. Today is Veterans Day. A day that differs from Memorial Day because this day we honor the men and women that fought in the US wars. Memorial Day we remember those who lost their lives in service. There are many people serving our nation on a daily basis. There are people giving of themselves all throughout our nation.

There is another group of people

that keeps our nation moving forward by giving of their time. It’s a group of people that volunteer for so many different causes. These causes listed in the beginning of this article need people to keep the project moving. It doesn’t end with someone giving items like canned goods for the needy or toothpaste for the shoe boxes. There needs to be a person on the other side packing the boxes and sending them off. That’s where you and I come in. Volunteering is a wonderful way to give. Give back to a society that has given so much to you, give because sometimes people need the help of others and someday that just might be you. Volunteer at the Red Cross, the Cancer Society, Hospice, The Giving Tree, the hospital, Womensafe. Meals on Wheels and the Department on Aging are great organizations that our elderly really depend on.

Do you want to make a difference but you’re not sure about what to do? Volunteering is a place where you can make a difference in someone’s life, a place where you can make an unexpected friend.

I volunteered to help collect contributions for an orphanage at a concert. It was essential to the organization to use volunteers and the volunteers benefit by enjoying the concert and meeting new people. I also volunteered to work at the Cleveland International Film Festival this year. The organization benefits from the unpaid labor but the city of Cleveland benefits from the event. The workers are able to enjoy a few films at no cost. This now opens up the world of volunteering. I am asked almost monthly if I would like to help at promotional events, mostly in Cleveland or I receive passes to view a new film before it’s released. My family and I have volunteered to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless, Christmas dinner for the underprivileged, and passed out back to school backpacks in the inner city. I have volunteered at my church, my local hospital as well as political events.

There are so many reasons, ways, benefits, and satisfying rewards to volunteering. You can join an organization or even have your personal program. I have a friend who is collecting blankets to give to children in the emergency room, just on her own. The point is to just get out there and make a difference.

New Thanksgiving TraditionsBy Christina Grand Porter

Today’s families find comfort in old traditions, but it can be a greater challenge to have the modern family

all together and revel in the moment while some members are watching football, playing with cell phones and sometimes running to multiple households due to family dynamics. But there are ways to make your celebration so memorable everyone will be excited for next year’s gala. Although many of the following new tradition ideas may sound like kids’ stuff, they’re fun activities for the young at heart so everyone can participate.

Keep in the mind the reason for Thanksgiving is to share the bounty and give thanks for all the good in one’s life, so sometimes it’s necessary to delve back to the roots of the celebration to put it all in perspective. The Thanksgiving plays kids used to put on about the first Thanksgiving were a teaching experience. Today you can help kids make pilgrim hats and read the story of the first Thanksgiving. Decorate the table like the pilgrims may have for the first Thanksgiving: leaves, pinecones and a cornucopia filled with fruit. Talk about how different life was for kids in 1621 compared to today and explain the significance of the cornucopia. Older kids can do research on the Internet and share what they learn before Thanksgiving dinner. Make it a game to find a new, unusual fact about Thanksgivings past and give a prize to the best answer or host your own Jeopardy match with Thanksgiving as the topic.

If your family has favorite Thanksgiving foods, consider making a family cookbook. Type the recipes into a word processing program and print out copies to give to the extended family. The recipes can be enhanced with drawings or older recipes on cards can be scanned so they are in Aunt Betty’s or Grandma’s own handwriting. You can also get fancy and make up a recipe photo book using a program like Shutterfly or self-publishing programs. If you are going all out with this project, consider giving the cookbooks as Christmas presents to be cherished for years, perhaps generations, to come.

Personalize your Thanksgiving table before you lay out the turkey and stuffing with your own tablecloth and place mats. Use a plain white tablecloth and fabric markers and have each person write their signature, the date, and what they are thankful for on the cloth before the meal begins. Use the same tablecloth each year

and enjoy reading the old memories before adding new ones. For place mats, have kids trace their hand onto a plain white paper place mat. Let them use markers to decorate their handprint to look like a turkey and write their names on it. Stickers and glitter can add fun for younger kids and this is a fun project for the kids to work on before the big day. The next year they can be thankful for how much they’ve grown when they hold their hand against last year’s silhouette.

Don’t forget the rest of your community. Start a new family tradition by giving back at your local community center or homeless shelter that serves Thanksgiving dinner. Volunteer as a family to work in the center’s kitchen for the day to teach your kids the value of giving back and show them the importance of helping those who are less fortunate. In Geauga County, the Department on Aging needs meal delivery drivers on holidays to serve elderly and disabled residents who are alone and/or are unable to get out. Visiting those who are alone is rewarding and a wonderful way to teach children to think of others and how to share. Start the tradition on a holiday but think about continuing it year round.

Don’t throw out the old for the new, though. Traditions fall to the wayside as people move on, or decide they’d rather do something else. Maybe it’s time to renovate some of those old traditions, so think back to your childhood. What kinds of things did your parents or grandparents do on Thanksgiving? Were there any special craft projects for children, or games, decorations or foods? Thanksgiving traditions center around family for the most part, so dig out those home-grown customs and celebrate them today.

One thing that could easily become your greatest treasure is to gather everybody together to take a family photo just before you sit down to eat and watch your family evolve and change through the years. You’ll love looking at these 10, 20, or 30 years from now. The pictures can also be used in a memory book. Buy a blank book with nice paper and record your Thanksgiving each year. Have people write messages, add the footprint of your sister’s new baby, paste in art created while the family waited for dinner, etc. All the happy memories will live on in your family’s minds, but this a family keepsake you’ll treasure forever, one that can be literally passed along to the next generation.

Plant a Living Christmas TreeBy Christina Grand Porter

The decision to buy a living tree requires a bit more thought than choosing a fresh-cut tree. You have to choose the size and type of tree that will fit the space you have indoors, while considering where the tree will be planted once it goes outdoors after the holidays. There are two big things to consider, the first being your climate or zone. In the Northeast spruces and firs do better, while milder climates may prefer cypress and cedar. The second consideration is where you want to plant your tree. It may be a cute 4 to 6 feet high now, but many species of evergreen can reach towering heights. Do you have room for that much tree or should you consider a dwarf tree? According to a great article in “This Old House,” a six-foot tree with a root ball can weigh up to 250 pounds. Your local nursery expert can help identify the right choice for you.

Make sure you find a place to plant q the tree prior to purchasing it, to assure there will be room for the tree to grow. Opt for a planting site that has well-drained soil, full sun and enough room for the mature tree. Since you’ll be planting it in winter, it’s a good idea to choose a day before the ground is frozen, dig the hole for the tree and cover it with a board held down firmly with rocks. Set aside the soil to go in the hole on a tarp, basket, etc. Store this in a warm place until you are ready to use it. The hole should be the same depth but at least twice and preferably five times wider than the root ball. Be sure not to plant the tree too deeply and don’t over prepare the back fill with organic matter. If the soil is fertile and well drained, the tree should have all it needs. If you are going to stake the tree, be sure to place the stakes in the ground before the ground freezes. Stakes should be removed in the spring.

Readjust the tree to outdoor temperatures after the holidays by placing

it back on the sheltered porch or in the garage for several days. It is important to plant your tree as soon as possible after the holidays so you certainly do not want to wait until spring. Remove synthetic burlap completely since it can cause root girdling, a condition where roots begin to grow around the main stem of the tree, cutting off or restricting the movement of water, plant nutrients and stored food reserves. If your tree is bound in natural burlap, remove it from the top of the root ball to avoid drying out the root ball. Remove containers from container-grown trees and cut and loosen any encircling roots. Prune broken roots. Remove wire tree baskets after the root ball is in the planting hole.

When you get ready to plant your tree, be sure it is planted at the same depth it was grown at the nursery. Fill the hole around the freshly set tree with the loosened, unaltered soil from the planting hole. Fill in the hole with the soil you have stored and heel it in firmly. Backfill around the root ball in stages, gently firming in each layer of soil. Water well to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Use any remaining soil to build a ridge three to four inches high around the outside edge of the soil ball. This bowl will help insure that all of the roots are watered properly. Remove this ridge of soil in the spring. Spraying an anti-desiccant according to label instructions may be helpful. Apply 2 or 3 inches of mulch on top of the root ball. It is not necessary to fertilize until spring.

If the ground around the tree freezes, mulch it with two to three inches of a good mulch. Keep the tree watered, especially during thaws. With proper care, your live, flourishing Christmas tree should be a valuable addition to your landscape invoking happy memories of a beautiful Christmas past.

Family Dinners, You Gotta Love ‘EmBy Ellie Behman

Fa m i l y D i n n e r s bring with them special memories, each different and unique on their own. I remember one time when I made a favorite Jell-o dish of mine, I substituted

one of the ingredients for an off brand. You wouldn’t think anyone would notice but when I looked across the table at my beautiful daughter-in-law, her eyes were the size of Montana. “What did you do different with the Jell-O, Mom?” I couldn’t fool her and we had lots of laughs about it afterwards. I learned never to substitute the real thing with generic.

She also loved to come downstairs from their apartment above us to see what I was baking or cooking. I had bread rising in a warm place on the sink one day and covered it with plastic to help speed up the process. She innocently pushed down the plastic and asked, “What’s this?” Down went the bread as flat as a board. We laughed many times about that incident. I would give anything to have her with us to share holiday meals with.

Another get together was interrupted by our two little grandsons who were playing with a hamster. They decided to put the hamster on a makeshift cardboard slide and watch it go. Well, as luck would have it, the hamster was injured. My daughter worked for a veterinarian at the time so she took the little guy into work, had him x-rayed and made sure he didn’t have broken bones. At the time it was upsetting and the kids got into trouble but now as I think about it, it was just one of life’s minor glitches. Our grandsons are now in their 30s and have children of their own. They, too, will have the opportunity to witness little pranks the kids come up with throughout life. I’m sure their children will get a good chuckle out of hearing their dad’s stories someday. That is if the dad’s dare to admit what they did.

The memories are many; some bring tears, others bring laughter. There was the time I bumped into a large bowl of salad and lettuce flew all over the kitchen floor. I believe I shared this embarrassing incident before. Not funny then and the picture of

me crawling around the floor scraping up the mess really isn’t too funny now.

Looking back I ask myself, were those incidents really that bad or did they add to the flavor of an eventful family dinner? Anyone can have a boring dinner where conversation is stilted and dry but when something funny arises out of the ordinary, now that’s something to remember and talk about. Speaking of that, there was one Thanksgiving dinner that I thought would be more interesting if we all came dressed as someone who attended the first celebration. We had an Indian maiden, a hunter, several Pilgrims and a few Indians. Our creative son-in-law Mike walked in wearing a Cleveland Indians T-shirt and jeans. That was a clever twist that made us all smile.

There was the warm, beautiful Christmas celebration where all the children waited excitedly for Santa’s arrival. All of them were jumping up and down except for Austin, our youngest grandchild who was about 2 or 3 at the time. He appeared a bit frightened and decided the best place to hide was under the dining room table where he remained throughout Santa’s visit. He is now 18 years old and well over six feet tall. I still have the urge to tease him about his actions but my teasing is laced with a good dose of love. Let’s face it, he’s much bigger than I am.

Now we can enjoy the little additions to our growing family: our great grandsons. I’m sure we’ll have plenty to reminisce about as we watch them grow up before our very eyes. The last holiday dinner we had was no different than the dozens of other times with stories to tell. I made enough food to feed an army, none of which appealed to those little guys. Finally Caden came up to me and said, “Grama Ellie, can I have a hot dog?” Well River and Milo followed suit and wanted the same. Did I make them? Of course I did. Hot dogs at a holiday dinner? Why not? They just added another cute memory to the list.

I guess what I’m saying is that family dinners can bring with them stories to tell for many years to come. All we have to do is keep our ears and our hearts wide open and enjoy the banter going on around us. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Smylies, A Happy PlaceSmylies is a new business just opening up in Parkman. After years of waiting for the right

time, owners Alan and Dawn Mighton felt it was now or never. Work began by remodeling an old out building on their property. What was once used to house farm equipment and chickens has now been transformed into a welcoming store full of unique items. It has a little something for everyone. There is a large selection of home décor, including antiques. Hand crafted and re-purposed items made from a variety of materials are nestled throughout the store. There is also a nice selection of essential oil storage boxes, diffusers, and supplies for mixing blends of your own creation.

Smylies Vacuum Department carries a full line of American-made Simplicity vacuums. There is quite the selection of colors, lite-weight options, battery upright models and a variety of attachments. Stop in and test-drive a new one anytime. Repair service, parts and bags are also available for Simplicity and other makes and models, too. Part of the proceeds from the vacuums sales helps support the Children’s Tumor Foundation. There’s no doubt about it, Smylies vacuums will make you smile.

Beginning in January, Smylies will be starting a series of speaking engagements ranging in topic from fun to educational. Post your suggestions on Smylies Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/SmyliesLLC/. Smylies is located at 17506 Madison Road in Middlefield (44062). Call them at 440-221-6793 Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
