Cue the Christmas song…..“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”…..it’s back to school time! I think that Staples commercial is really funny where the dad is school shopping with his children and singing that song through the aisles because they are ready to get them back into school for the new year. Lol. (FYI: That commercial is now 10 years old!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHpOYzHdSg8 It is a wonderful time of year! Teachers have been busy getting their rooms ready for our students this year. A new school year comes with a lot of excitement and jitters, so pray that all our area schools have great starts to their year! I pray our students all feel happy, make good friends, and that their minds are open and ready to learn; and that the teachers and administrators all have a successful and productive year! Amen!

Our first craft night of the fall is Friday evening (25th) at 6:00 pm. Duffy Sprague is going to be helping us make either your choice of a wooden pumpkin or a wooden leaf. It will be adorned with these changeable fall sayings…Hello, Fall! Boo! and Thankful. It will be accented with a fall bow and some faux fall flowers. This can be made into a door hanger, something on your wall, or propped up somewhere in your house. If you’re a regular or a newbie, come join on on the side porch! Cost is $60 for a fun, crafty night out! I also guarantee Duffy’s crafts are always high quality and well worth the price! Sign up by Tuesday and make sure you tell us if you would like a leaf or a pumpkin.

Would you like a chance to win a freezer full of Zimmerview’s meat for the winter time? Jim and I are both a part of the Marietta Tigers Athletic Boosters. This great organization is trying to raise money for our Tiger student-athletes and sports programs. Tickets are $10 a piece and can be bought right at the Huck’s counter. You would get a brand new freezer filled with half a beef! With a value of approximately $2200, $10 is a great price to pay for some delicious ribeyes, porterhouse steaks, roasts, ground beef, etc. Drawing will be held October 20th! Thanks for support our sports at Marietta City Schools!

Countdown to our Anniversary Celebration! 2 weeks from today on Saturday, September 2nd, come on in and enjoy 20% on everything at Huck’s! We are looking forward celebrating a great first year with you all! We are planning to have samples of yummy items as well! We hope to see you there!

Here’s our weekly update for outside…..

Not too much going on outside right now. Jim has been busy getting things ready cleaned up and ready for the fall flowers! We’ve got some delightful things that will be here before we know it! I’m dreaming of my front porch with all sorts of fall colors, straw, and corn shocks! This may be my favorite time of the year on our front porch! The colors are so pretty and the evenings are cool.

Don’t forget to enjoy your lunch on our side porch! It’s shady and being outside on your lunch break can make for a very productive afternoon at work!

Is there anything in your garden that you have been happy to see back in bloom again this year? Each August, I always look forward to the Luna Hibiscus in my back garden blooming! It has a dark pink center surrounded by giant, bright white petals. If you’ve never seen one, the blooms are the size of a dinner plate! According to the LSU Ag Center, “Luna Hibiscus does not disappoint with very large 7-8” blooms in colors of red, rose, white, pink, and pink swirl……This plant is a great addition to the butterfly garden.” This gorgeous plant just might need to be added to your garden this fall or next spring!

Now onto the inside!

We added Mocha Meltaways to our Dutch Delights inventory! Come in and get a bag of assorted fine chocolates! It’s a nice way to treat yourself after a long day!

Look who has a green thumb?? One of my dearest friends, Robyn Knaus, grew these beautiful decorative gourds for fall! They are golden yellow with a deep green bottom. She was overrun with tons of these gourds and thought she would bring them to Huck’s to share with you! You are the best, Robyn!

Mister Bee’s potato chips has a couple of new flavors of chips with a new look! Try Pepperoni Roll potato chips or (304) Style potato chips. Don’t those sound interesting? Like it says, “It’s the Bee’s Knees!”

I hope you check out our display of all different types of dips. These dips would go perfectly with some Breton crackers, potato chips, pretzel sticks, and/or veggies! You can choose from French Onion, Sun Dried Tomato and Basil, Cucumber Dill, Spinach Dip, and Bacon and Onion. These dips have the directions on them of how to make them. Most use just sour cream or sour cream and cream cheese.
