“Eleven, Eleven, Eleven and…..,”
When the:
- Leaves have turned, and,
- Screams of touchdown are joined by the sounds of hat trick cheers and slam dunks, and,
- The weather is cool enough to enjoy a “cup-of-joe” outdoors, yet still warm enough to “catch some rays,”
Can November be far behind?
The arrival of the eleventh month means that the autumn hues will soon disappear, and the holiday season will quickly be upon us. If you have not already made your plans for quality time with your family, friends, the great outdoors, and all of what the region has to offer, you better get at that. To quote one of the area’s most famous individuals: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
If you are wondering who said that you are missing the point. To be perfectly clear, the question is not “who said that” but rather “what are you going to do and who are you going to be going forward?”
