Happy Friday! We’re expecting a rainy weekend here. With Fall weather upon us, the pull to be outdoors is even more heightened. If the rain keeps you in, here are five favorites to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Book of Opposites <\/strong>– Jennifer Kahnweiler has written a fascinating book on Introversion-Extroversion. The Genius of Opposites: How Introverts and Extroverts Achieve Extraordinary Results Together<\/a>. <\/span><\/em>My<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0husband is a\u00a0\u00a0introvert\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>and I am an extrovert. We have been married over 30 years and have worked together many of those years. We have learned a\u00a0lot of Kahnweiler’s wisdom on our own…and after many years of\u00a0struggle. This book is very helpful and empowering for any partnership between introverts and extroverts.<\/p>\n

    3) All Things Pumpkin<\/strong> – O.K. I’m not wild about Pumpkin Spice Latte, but as soon as September comes, I’m in love again with all things pumpkin. My favorites are pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread. When we lived overseas, pumpkin was solely treated as a vegetable. It is amazing in 7-vegetable couscous<\/a>. What\u00a0is your favorite pumpkin recipe? Please share in comments.\"2015<\/a>Photo Credit: Weather.com<\/a><\/p>\n
