Primo Pumpkins !!!! On the evening before Halloween the dedicated Mistletoe Gourd Graders cruised the streets in search of pumpkins.

We were soon delighted with some fabulous examples of the fi ne American art of carving a Halloween pumpkin. The tradition is alive and thriving in Mistletoe Heights, as is the art of porch decorating.

It was a tough call, but the “Gourd Graders” unanimously chose as the “Grand Prize” a group of gourds we called “Olaf & his family, carved by the kids @2218 Harrison.

Honorable Mentions are due to many carvers. Last years winner proudly greeted the judges @ 2132 Edwin with 2 huge entrants: “Gourdgeous and Asperaguy”. We also chose as ‘Most Creative’ a line up @ 2112 Weatherbee we called “Got Jugs”

(twas a bunch of painted plastic milk jugs).WE SEND CONGRATS TO ALL -- YEA MISTLETOE!!!

Sam Peliczowski mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan’s number-one restaurant--and everyone wants a piece of him. Through the course of the evening, we meet Sam’s father, a likeable guy from South Bend; the temperamental chef; Jean-Claude, the snooty Maitre D’; Naomi Campbell’s annoying (but funny) assistant; and several powerful New York types, among many others. A hit in Amphibian’s 2005 ‘Phibs at the Modern Reading Series, Fully Committed returns to Amphibian, this time with set and costumes.”.

“Fully Committed creates more tension than a James Bond suspense caper, and it’s more thrilling than a high-wire circus act.” - The Advocate

“A tornado! The audience is in stitches from beginning to end.” - The New York Daily News

Tickets are $33 for adults, $28 for seniors, and $18 for students.

Fully Committedby Becky ModeDirected by Evan MuellerMAIN STAGE PRODUCTION

October 30 – November 23, 2014Thursday - Saturday, 8PMSunday, 2PM

*One discount offer valid per purchase.

We are about to open the last play of our 2014 season, “Fully Committed” by Becky Mode, and I would love to invite our friends from Mistletoe Heights.

The play is a lightning-fast comedy

about a reservationist at a high-profi le New York restaurant, in which one actor plays over 40 hilarious characters. And to further celebrate the restaurant industry, there will be a DFW-based food truck outside our theatre at almost every performance. Food truck service will begin an hour before the show and continue after the curtain comes down. We have a great bar at Amphibian that pours Spanish wines, ports, madeiras, local beers, and inventive cocktails. Also, on November 8 and November 15 we have partnered with Melt Ice Creams to include a free scoop of ice cream with your ticket.

The play runs October 30 to

November 23. I’ve attached a fl ier to this email with more detailed information. I would really appreciate it if you would help spread the word; it’s going to be such a fun event. Please let me know if there is a better contact within your organization for this type of event information.

Thank you! Best,Scott Zenreich

Scott & Val Ewing moved into their home at 1303 Mistletoe Drive in 2006. Both the yard and the house were a wreck when they acquired them. The improvements they’ve made are nothing short of stunning.

The effect today is one of an enchanting English cottage hidden in a little forest! There is the giant shade tree prominent in the yard, and under it are two Japanese Maples. One of those was there when the Ewings bought their home, but it was a stumpy little shrub at that time. Now it’s one of the biggest Japanese Maples around! The other, smaller one they put in themselves. The front of the house is covered with Boston Ivy and Virginia Creeper, which adds to the English cottage effect. Carolina Jessamine is also climbing on the porch.

The bed has a liriope border, behind which are a bunch of Fairy Roses and one Knockout Rose. Defi ning that from the porch is a row of boxwoods. There are also some Mums and Gerbera Daisies in that bed.

Complementing the architecture of the house is a traditional trellis with Clematis on it. Clematis is like so

1303 Mistletoe DriveYard of theMonth

many other fabulous blooming plants: It puts on a stunning show for a very short time and after that it’s admired for its foliage. Also, behind the Iron Gate a Wisteria is visible.

I know the Yard of the Month Award is about the yard, not the house; however, in this case I feel the need to mention an architectural feature that is part of the beauty of the front yard: the pathway-effect sidewalk leading to the porch. It is, to my knowledge, unique in Mistletoe Heights, and it helps make the yard what it is!

The Ewings have a daughter (Avery) now and continue to make improvements on their landscape. As is always the case, their hard work benefi ts us all… it beautifi es the neighborhood.

The fact that I started this article about how much the Ewings have improved the property makes a good segue into another topic. For the next 2-3 months, instead of there being a Yard of the Month award, you will fi nd articles in the newsletter about which yards have been Most Improved! Regrettably we don’t have a sign for that, but there are certain yards in Mistletoe Heights that have been so very much improved upon that their creators deserve recognition. Plus, in the hard winter there’s not much going on in yards anyway. I suppose one could write “They raked their leaves!” But that is something we all do. Hard winter is not really ‘yard time’, but recognition of those yards that have been most improved will be attempted.
