Lesson for October Make Your Own Spice Mixes:
In this lesson, you will learn about how to make homemade spice mixes. You’ll learn
about different spices and herbs, the differences in how to use whole versus ground herbs and fresh versus dried
spices, and how long you should really keep spices in your cabinets before
they’re not fresh anymore. Making your own spice mixes can be a healthier
alternative to store-bought ones, and it can be a fun activity as well!

2020 CENSUS QUILT
In Spring 2019, representatives from the Census Bureau asked if KEHA would create a quilt including a square made by each of
Kentucky’s 120 counties for use in promoting the 2020 census. This project
provided KEHA with an opportunity to showcase the organization’s tenets of
education, leadership, and service. The quilt is also a reminder to those who view it that
every individual in every county counts.
The quilt was on display at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY from September
16-21, 2019. Following that, the quilt will tourKentucky through a partnership between the
Census Bureau and the Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives. A
schedule for this tour is being developed by KEHA and will be shared when finalized. Can you find the Daviess County square?

TRINITY HOMEMAKER CLUB The new Trinity Homemakers Club got off
to a great start with 10 in attendance. Trinity Homemakers is a
traditional club consisting of fellowship, a business meeting, homemaker's lesson and
a craft activity or work on an identified project. The club will seek future projects
that will serve the community. September's craft was a sachet for clothing drawers
using vintage handkerchiefs and dried rose petals or dried lavender. Trinity Homemakers meets the second
Wednesday of the month. The next meeting will be on October 9, 2019 at 2:00pm. The club meets in the fellowship hall of Trinity United Methodist Church, located at 2815 Old Hartford Road, Owensboro, Kentucky.
Please note the time change; Trinity Homemaker Club will now meet at 2 p.m. on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

BE A PART OF YOUR HEALTHCARE TEAMOnly 12 percent of people
understand what their healthcare provider tries to tell them. Therefore, it is important to become actively involved in your healthcare. Here are some ways to help you prepare for your next appointment.
Before your appointment• Bring all of your medicines
including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications,vitamins, and dietary orherbal supplements.
• Write down your questions.
• Know your previous illnesses,past procedures, and yourcurrent medical condition.
Written by: Natalie JonesEdited by: Alyssa SimmsDesigned by: Rusty ManseauStock images: 123RF.com
During your appointment• Every time you talk with a healthcare provider, ask
these questions to understand better your health. (1) What is my main problem? (2) What do I need to do? (3) Why is it important for me to do this?
• Let your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist know if you do not understand what you need to do. There is no need to feel rushed or embarrassed if you do not understand something. You can say, “This is new to me. Will you please explain that to me one more time?”
After your appointment• Make sure to follow your doctor’s instructions.
Don’t be afraid to call your doctor if you do not understand or have a question.
• Do not stop taking any medications without first asking your doctor or pharmacist.
• Call your doctor if you start to feel worse or you have problems with instructions or medications.
