You Are a Pumpkin Latte

You are a total homebody. You love the fall because it gives you an excuse to stay home a little more often and be cozy. Fall is your favorite time to cook a pie, read a good book, or watch your favorite movie. You're the type who prefers handing out candy at Halloween and hosting Thanksgiving at your place. You have a lot of different autumn activities, and they all take place inside the comfort of your home

You Are a Hazelnut Latte

You are a quiet thinker. You like nothing better than an early fall morning when you’re alone with your thoughts and your coffee.
As each day gets colder, you can’t help but remember autumns past and reflect on your life a bit.

You love fall weather. A gray day is perfect for writing, reading, or just thinking... all activities you enjoy.
You like feeling warm and energized inside while the world is cold and quiet outside. It’s the perfect contrast for you to feel inspired.

“You are BEER”

Yer darn tootin’ I am! :-)

[ChildOfThe60s]

My autumn drink is the same one all year around.

12 year old Elijah Craig bourbon over crushed ice.

I don’t drink coffee or “latte”, and I don’t wear sweaters, so I failed that quiz right off. LOL

Coade Stone
October 16, 2013

Throughout London, there are statues and other items made from a unique building material called Coade stone. Developed by Eleanor Coade for her family business in the late 1700s, this artificial stone is virtually indestructible and has the capacity to withstand time, weather, and man-made pollution. Though it was a marvel during the Industrial Revolution, Coade stone was phased out in the 1840s following Eleanor’s death, and it was replaced by Portland cement as a building material. In spite of that, however, there remain today dozens of examples of this sturdy, ceramic-like stone that have withstood the harsh London environment for over 150 years.

The apostle Peter described Jesus as a living stone. He wrote, “Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house” (1 Peter 2:4-5). Precious in the eyes of the Father is the sacrifice of the Rock of our salvation. Christ is the enduring stone upon which the Father has built our salvation and the only foundation for meaningful life (1 Cor. 3:11).

It is only as our lives are built upon His strength that we will be able to endure the harshness of life in a fallen world.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. —Mote

We have nothing to fear if we stay close to the Rock of Ages.

Read: 1 Peter 2:1-10

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious. —1 Peter 2:4

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 47-49; 1 Thessalonians 4

You Are Carmel Apple Cider

You are a total charmer. You are smooth enough to put people at ease, and sweet enough to make them smile.

You dazzle people without even meaning to. You just try to be yourself, and that's always enough.

You are a naturally generous person. You go the extra mile for others, without even thinking about it or being asked.

You have an eye for detail, and you like to add that little finishing touch to meals, decorating, and your own personal style. Like the caramel in the apple cider!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, null...a Pumpkin Latte sounds great. A total homebody.

You Are a Pumpkin Latte

...AND Pun'kin Pie!!

You are a total homebody. You love the fall because it gives you an excuse to stay home a little more often and be cozy....even though travel is never far out of your thoughts!

Fall is your favorite time to eat a piece of pie, read a good book, or watch your favorite movie.

You have a lot of different autumn activities, and they all take place inside the comfort of your home.

[ConservativeStatement]

You are beer. Eh.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, DemforBush....glad beer suits you.

[raybbr]

Ha! I don't even drink:

You Are Beer

You are a social organizer of sorts. Whether you're at Oktoberfest or watching the big game, you're always ready to crack open a beer with a few friends.
You wouldn't say that fall is your favorite season. You tend to love all the seasons equally.

You enjoy getting together with your friends for all sorts of occasions, and fall fun is no exception.
Whether you're at a wild Halloween party, picking pumpkins, or going for a hayride ... you know how to have a blast during this time of the year.

My son once offered me a latte and I wrote him out of the Will!

Lt.Col. William "Wild Bill" Donovan, USA (MOH)
165th Infantry Regiment
42nd “Rainbow” Division,

From This Day in U.S. Military History:

15 October 1918 – Lieutenant Colonel William “Wild Bill” Donovan earned the Medal of Honor while leading his regiment, the 165th Infantry (formerly the 69th New York, the “Fighting 69th” of Civil War fame), 42nd “Rainbow” Division, in an attack to capture a German strongpoint. By acts of personal courage such as rallying platoons of soldiers decimated and about to break from enemy fire, he again led them forward. Though seriously wounded he refused to be evacuated and continued to command his men from a bomb crater. Eventually the Americans did have to withdraw after suffering devastating losses. Donovan started his Guard service by organizing his own cavalry troop which then commanded during its tour of duty on the Mexican border in 1916. He then joined the 69th New York just prior to the mobilization for World War I. Even before earning the Medal of Honor, in July 1918, he displayed extreme courage while leading a battalion in its attack on German positions in the Oureq River (called by the Irish of the 69th as the “O’Rourke River”) sector. For this action he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (the Army’s second highest medal for valor). In World War II Donovan organized and commanded the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of today’s CIA."
