Brrrrr is the word for the week. I hope all of our community has done all its preparation for our upcoming winter months. It has started out to be a cold one. Soon we will be seeing bright lights lighting up homes and yards. It is something I always look forward to seeing.

Next week brings us a holiday Thanksgiving. For those of you who are traveling to be with family and friends, may your travels be safe. There are many businesses that are having free turkey dinners, so don't be alone on the holiday. Go out for a good meal and enjoy the people around you.

Have a great weekend and be safe.
