Grist Mill Park
First and Third Wednesday Beautiful fall days with the leaves falling
and the sun glistening in the trees. Come and swing and play on the
newly resurfaced playground that kept us off the grounds during the
month of October. We apologize to new friends who looked for us there
and didn't see anybody except the heavy construction trucks and
workers. Come back during November. We are all out enjoying the
sunshine.
Here is a map.
4-H
We marched during the Vienna Halloween Parade as a group to show the
home-made costumes. It was a fun event and we got a big round of
applause for the costumes. During November we will meet at Lisa's
place to bake bread. Well, first we learn to make bread, roll it up
and knead it and let it rise. Each child will make a loaf and take it
home to bake later. We may bake some there and eat it up. Please let
us know who is coming and we will e-mail directions to Lisa's house.
The church has another event and we not meet there on Nov. 14. The
meeting after Thanksgiving is canceled since some of us are planning
visits. One meeting this month. Contact Lisa.
Parent Support Group
Other commitments keep the facilitator tied up this month.
Suzanne will be at Sherwood
Library to greet and meet anyone who wants to join us at 10:30 on Monday
Bagels and Books
Monday at 10:00 at Sherwood
Library discussion of Catherine Called Birdy. One of our favorite books. New books will be added by the librarian and we will put them up then.

Other Ideas
- Ft. Belvoir has a seven mile trail past beaver lodges and we are going to explore that.
It's close to Accotink.
More info when we can explore the trial.
- Kennedy Center tickets may be offered on days that events are scheduled. Since sometimes people can't make events, you may be able to pick up tickets. The performances are educational, spirited and exciting.
Perfect time for a visit to places nearby.
- River Farm along G.W. Parkway has gardens in the last days of fall. We will be there this month to watch the Potomac. See the planes come down the river and watch goldfish in the garden pond.
