News & Notes
It has been a busy month; still trying to find a day to get to the pumpkin patch with our daughters for our annual horse drawn carriage ride, pumpkin finding and overall good time. Not many days left so we will have to get imaginative to find a time to go.

Have a great week and enjoy Halloween!
