Meadowlark is alive. That was obvious from the moment we walked in the door.

I am Thankful I am thankful for my family. I am thankful for my faith. I am thankful that my husband and I are able to work. I am thankful I have a job that I love. I am thankful my daughter plays hard. I am thankful I have people in my life I can count on. I am thankful I have a home, food and clothing. I am thankful that someone invented whipped cream to top off my pumpkin pie. I am thankful for my dogs. I am thankful that we are not all the same. I am thankful to be here. I am thankful to have the opportunity to be thankful.

Land of the Free & Home of the Brave As the weather and the seasons change, I (and many others!) begin to look forward to upcoming holidays like Halloween (candy and costumes!), Thanksgiving (turkey and football!) and Christmas (carols and egg nog!) but let’s not forget in midst of all that a very important day for us to recognize is Veterans Day.

Beware of Scam! A couple weeks ago, I shared about the National Do No Call Registry. Since then, a few residents and neighbors have reported being contacted by scammers via telephone. Remember, scammers will say anything and their goal is to get you to say “yes.”

Technically it’s time to go digital! Submitted by Sarah Duggan It was announced a while ago that Cox Communications would be going digital for all television services. For those of us who don’t have a digital box for our cable already (this is something you would have had to sign up and pay extra for directly through Cox), then we’ll need a new “mini box” to continue receiving our television channels.

How many of us can think of multiple times that we have been called by a telemarketer – and the funny thing is, they always call at the most inconvenient times such as in the middle of dinner or when you are walking out the door. Some of us might argue that anytime a telemarketer is calling, whether your have the time to deal with it or not, is inconvenient. A possible solution to this problem is the National Do Not Call Registry.

Outside is the best side! In April 2015, the Duggans moved into our first house. The family’s first mission? Grow grass. Our new backyard was an overwhelming mountain of mud. I grew up in the country and there, growing grass wasn’t a priority. If we had it – great! If we didn’t – less to mow. Edward grew up in the city without a yard. Fast forward to 2015 and two newbie homeowners are standing in the lawn and garden section at Home Depot, heads tilted in confusion.

Let’s eat! It’s a little known secret that there are not two, not three, but five dining options at Meadowlark Hills! I am of course talking about Prairie Star Restaurant which hosts three of our dining choices (dine in, carry out or delivery). The fourth is Verna Belle’s Cafe – a great place to pick up a specialty coffee or delicious breakfast burrito (the special on Wednesdays!) and the fifth is the Kansas Room Pub & Lounge.
