  2. What holiday that occurs in the Fall time do you like best (ex. Thanksgiving, Halloween, Day of the Dead, etc.) and why?
  3. Do you (or you and your family) have a special tradition that occurs around this time of year?

Mrs. Tracy Rink: 

  1. My favorite fall flavor is cinnamon.
  2. My favorite Holiday is Thanksgiving because the food is delicious and it is a very relaxing holiday!
  3. Every year at Thanksgiving my mother always makes a homemade Thanksgiving gifts for everyone and each year is something new and creative.  
  4.       –     Scarves? YES…I love keeping my neck warm and cozy!
  • Boots? Absolutely, same with keeping my feet warm and of course they are just fun accessories!
  • Puffer jackets? No…I don’t understand the infatuation with these…
  • Leather jackets? Hmmm…these were super popular when I was in high school, so they feel “old” news to me!
  • Turtle necks? NO! It feels like they’re strangling me! I do like mock-necks though, if you find any, let me know where!
  • Neutral colors? Black, some grays, white…no tan, beige, cream, etc. They wash me out!
  • Blazers? Definitely! I am a huge fan of layering all year round.
  • Plaid? Plaid skirts are the bomb!  I see you TPA girls!! 🙂

Mrs. Majesty Pautzke:

  1. I LOVE apple season! I do like all things pumpkin, but I’m not a pumpkin spice groupie :-).
  2.  I love Thanksgiving…gathering with family and friends for all of the yummy dishes. I especially like when it’s over and I can rest!! 
  3. Over the past few years, my traditions have completely changed as both of my kids went out of state for college and friends moved away. Since my birthday is in October, my friends and I either take a fun trip or just gather together to celebrate with lots of eating out and shopping.
