Fall is Here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fall is here! The trees are changing and the colors
are vibrant and beautiful. All the different
colors are just stunning. Dad, Mom, Taylor, Kyler,
Reece and I went for a walk in the woods the
other day and it was
breathtaking. It is just amazing to see how God
created
such a beautiful country, and how blessed we are to
live in
this great place. The only bummer thing is that it is
starting
to get cold, and winter is just around the corner. We
are
not looking forward to the cold months. Summer was
just not long enough. With all the rain this
year it was cooler, and it felt like summer was very
short. But now we can begin to look forward to
sledding and
building snowmen. Honestly, for me this whole
year has just flown by. The fourth quarter is
already here and you know what that means - time to
start thinking about those wonderful holidays coming
up, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
September got away from me for the newsletter and I am very sorry about that. Allan and Lois went to Alaska, and they had a very good time. When they got home, for a week after the cruise, they both felt like they were still on the ship. And they both ended up with horrible colds. But the fun they had and the chance to see Alaska made it all worth it. They saw some really awesome scenery and wildlife.

Grilling Season ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The grilling season is coming to an end for a lot of us.
Even though we still grill in the winter months lots of
us are
putting the grills up for the winter.
Time to start pulling the crock pots out and using the
ovens more. We have lots of wonderful sirloin tip
roasts, chuck roasts, arm roasts, rump roasts and
stew meat to throw in those crock pots for a nice warm
winter meal. We also have some delicious bone-in
and boneless lamb roasts to cook in the oven. If you
have questions about cooking any of these roasts
please feel free to call us. We are happy to help.

Exciting Lamb News ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We finally are going to have lamb again. It will be ready
to ship the
middle of this month. We will have wholes, halves and
all of the various cuts. Yeah! Supply will be very
limited so please get
your orders in soon. Also take advantage of the current
prices, because the price of the lamb will be
increasing on November 1st.

Changes for GrassRoots ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On November 1st we will be raising the price
on some of the beef and lamb cuts. The prices are
not going up much, and not on everything, but we will
have to adjust some of the cuts, so get your orders in
before the increase.
Also our mailing address has changed. Our new
mailing
address is: 52 Olive Court, Pagosa Springs, CO,
81147.

Would you like delivery? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We would like to get your input on deliveries to your
area. We are
thinking about setting up regularly scheduled
deliveries, every couple of
months, to Denver, Albuquerque and parts of Arizona.
If you are along these routes and would like to take
advantage of this, please let us know so we can start
to put
together a schedule. Hopefully this would allow you to
plan in advance in order to take advantage of the lower
delivery cost. We need to hear from you, though.
Thank you for your cooperation.

In Closing ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summer is over, Fall is here, and Winter is just a
couple of months away. I think it might be
another hard winter this year as it is already turning
cold and it feels like the snow is just around the
corner. The weatherman says we are likely to get our
first snow this Sunday. Wow, that is just too early.
Now is the time we begin to think about the holiday
seasons. Turkey Day will be here before you know it,
and Christmas is on its heals. The year
has just flown by. We would again like to say thank
you
for all your orders, and for your support. You make all
of the hard work worth it. We are blessed to be able to
make a living doing something we love. It just doesn't
get any better than that! Thanks again to each and
every one of you.
Lisa, Allan, Lois and Family
