Mya and I always had this sort of tradition when the first of October settled upon us. Ever since freshman year of high school, we placed it upon ourselves to find a restaurant of café of some sort here in Haynes and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa. The air by that time was generally beginning to feel frigid, and to the two of us, that meant it was about time we break out the savory drinks, mini marshmallows, and of course, the sweet and frothy whipped cream. Thus, this year, we met at the Cabin, a small restaurant which sat on the border of Haynes and the Foxborough Woods. Large windows replaced the western wall of the quaint restaurant so the patrons of the Cabin may watch the Autumn trees and their leaves sway back and forth in the gentle breeze of this mid-afternoon. I ran my finger along the rim of the porcelain cup which sat in front of me, half empty of the chocolate beverage and completely drained of what whipped cream that had arrived with it. Compared to some of the other hot cocoa’s Mya and I had tasted over the previous years, this one was rather a letdown. Between its more watered down taste and the lack of marshmallows, I was sorely disappointed. Nonetheless, hot cocoa was hot cocoa, so I continued to sip away as did my friend. I watched as Mya sat upright in her chair and ran her fingers, whose nails were glossed over with a vibrant pink, through her blonde, bobbed hair. That was the signal that she was interested in starting a conversation, but if I knew one
Traveling is one of my family’s favorite things to do. The family has visited numerous places throughout the United States, however, none are as memorable as Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, there are many places to go and sights to see such as: Cola-cola factory, Cabbage Patch Kids Factory, Under Ground Mall, the Zoo, Atlanta Braves Stadium, Six Flags Over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, and the Atlanta Aquarium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta. The three that we visit on every trip to Atlanta are Six Flags, Stone Mountain, and the Atlanta Aquarium.
For my story, I would first make the web, gather information on my character(s). Then, I would start a rough draft putting all the information into a story.
As long as I can remember my family has always had food on the table and a family gathering on the fourth November in our home. We have all heard elementary stories of wood cabins and the Pilgrims and Indians celebrating thanksgiving. Though, I never knew the reason they were celebrating. Today as Thanksgiving is closely approaching, I am going to talk to you about the history of Thanksgiving, its traditions, and how our era and personal preferences influence the traditions in our celebrations.
The color green disappears. Crisp yellow, red and brown leaves fall from the tall oak and maple trees to make the perfect jumping pile. The clear night sky and cold air call for heavy boyfriend jackets with bonfires and roasted marshmallows with family and friends. All of these beautiful things make autumn spectacular. Four years ago around Halloween, Brittney made plans to have a bonfire with her friends Jessica, Haley, Ashley, Samantha. Instead of having a fun out with friends, her mother, brother and sisters are pressuring her to visit her step father’s family, whom she so deeply despised.

So, sit back with your favorite hot beverage of choice and enjoy a few of our favorite activites, crafts, and of course fashions that the whole family can enjoy.
Silently basking in the glory of hot chocolate, the various expressions that are appearing on Diana's face gives me the impression that she is thoroughsly satisfied with the fairly modern beverage. "Kal was right... it is good... although, nothing compares to the sweet tickle of nectar." she eventually reviews, placing down the cup before I even took a third sip. I guess the Amazonian durability also extends to extremely hot drinks.
It was not often that I had a few hours to slip away and return to that beloved spot under my favorite pair of trees. That day I had packed my hammock, a thermos full of jasmine tea, and the book that had been gathering dust on my shelf for months. I hopped in my car and drove the relaxing forty-seven minute journey (I had narrowed it down to the exact minute since I had driven there so many times). I stepped onto that familiar turf wearing my favorite jacket; it was a little more brisk than most would consider to be the perfect autumn afternoon, but I disagreed. The crisp, dry air was refreshing, cleansing. I needed to clear my head.
Hot chocolate which is also known as hot cocoa, drinking chocolate or just cocoa. It is a heated beverage consisting of shaved chocolate, melted chocolate or cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and often sugar. Hot chocolate made with melted chocolate is sometimes called drinking chocolate, characterized by less sweetness and a thicker consistency.
The air is crisp and the leaves are changing, that’s how I know its fall. It’s Friday night, the stadium lights are on and we’ve just scored a touchdown, you can hear the cheerleaders chanting, the crowd shouting, and the band playing the George Wythe fight song. The air is chilly; it’s perfect for oversized sweatshirts, fuzzy boots, and pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks. These are the simple, beautiful things about
After two days, surrounded by concentrated stillness, a thick fog released from the fields around the house. The earth’s exhale of summer surrendering to the cool night air of autumn. It rolled across the back road. By morning, the trees outside the kitchen were responding to the mist, kissing their branches. Black walnuts. Last to leaf out in spring, first to shed them in the fall. The first to accept this new
All three of us were bored in July’s kitchen and after rummaging through the cabinets we found instant coffee. None of us have ever had a taste. We knew you could add milk or sugar, but drinking its original form seemed appropriate for our first taste.
Imagine October, and the first chilly wild disturbing the autumn air. The trees in Riverwalk are a brilliant display of fall colors, and the air is filled with the spicy scents of fall and the sound of children laughing and playing. Bright orange pumpkins line the porches of Chelan, most of which are meticulously carved. Its no wonder that fall is my favorite season- it’s so beautiful.
The screams and giggles of joy from us are still audible, although their volumes have been dampened by the soft fabric of our scarves. We played and romped until we couldn’t feel our fingers and we had to trudge inside, catching a final glimpse of the trees, naked and brooding after being stripped by the lacerating winds. Once ridden of our sodden and damp winter gear, we rushed inside to gulp down a steamy cup of hot chocolate, complete with a few marshmallows on the top melting into the frothy, brown liquid. Those nights, we went to bed with warm hearts and
When considering the topic of Mystagogy and the Church’s understanding of the subject it is important to recognize the complete picture, the scope of what is covered. Looking quite literally at Mystagogy, and perhaps a common view held by most, it is very simply the final of four stages in the RCIA process of bringing believers into the Church. However, the context of this paper will focus at a more in depth look at the nature of Mystagogy and its essential relationship to the liturgical life of the Church. In doing this I will also show the relationship between Mystagogy and exegesis, the sacraments as mysteries and the vital place of narrationes in Mystagogy. Before an attempt to delve
