October 2021

October is the “almost” month. It’s almost cool outside. It’s almost time to turn on the heat. It’s almost time for Thanksgiving.

As children we looked forward to Halloween. As parents we were worried that our child might be sorry he/she chose the costume that they chose, and we worried we would run out of candy. All three of us have children so Halloween night was chaos when they were little. Do homework, eat dinner and run out the door with older siblings or a parent.

When the candy was dumped on the table at the end of the evening it was a scramble. I’ll trade you this _______ for your_______. Don’t eat that it’s not wrapped. You won’t like that, so Mom or Dad will take it.

Happy Halloween and happy almost time to decorate for the holidays.

Team Tips: Wash your windows in the Fall so that the sun comes in and keeps the house as warm as possible. Cut shrubs from around your house. Don’t forget to change your HVAC filters.
