RECALL on Coin Candy

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought this was important to post.

You can verify it at Snopes- http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/coins.asp

Quote: ‘With Halloween fast approaching comes a warning to parents and kids regarding Sherwood brand Pirate’s Gold milk chocolate coins imported from China.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to eat, distribute or sell the candy.

It is sold across Canada by Costco and may also have been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at various dollar and bulk stores.

The chocolate contains melamine which is the same chemical responsible for killing several babies in China, and sickening thousands more. ‘

I almost bought some of these a few weeks ago. Luckily I was being stingy with my money!!

You all have a save Halloween whether you celebrate it or not.

Blessings,
Cynthia

From Sea To Shining Sea by Peter Marshall & David Manuel

After the Revolutionary War, America was growing. Was God intervening on behalf of the struggling nation, or the natural outpouring of technological and social changes? The authors make the case that America's future was threatened by greed, pride, and self-righteousness, but in the midst of turmoil, God raised up leaders to uniquely shape our country and character. This is the story of a country moving forward--but always with an eye on the Christian heritage of the past.

Streams To The River, River To The Sea by Scott O'Dell

No woman in all of our history has captured the imagination like the young Shoshone girl, Sacagawea, who served as an interpreter and often as a guide for Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition into our uncharted West. She exists in the journals and narratives of that legendary search as a shadow, valued for her knowledge of the languages, the country and the customs of her people, but always as a shadow and a stranger. In this book, Scott O'Dell has brought Sacagawea to life and we now see Lewis and Clark's great adventure through her eyes.
