Greetings Everyone. It looks like the Fall Season has settled in. We are forecasted to have some cooler temperatures later this week and the leaves are definitely falling. With students being out for the Fair, there’s no need for them to bundle-up at the bus stop just yet. That time will soon come though, so be prepared with the sweaters, scarfs, jackets, gloves, coats and all that it takes for us humans to adapt to the changing temperatures. Change is good and necessary.

Reflections:
*My husband and I visited with my 102 year old Grandmother last week. She is a living testimony as to how God can keep and care for you. We were blessed to be able to be in the presence of the Wise, Knowledgeable, God-Fearing Woman. I Thank God for Blessing her to Bless me, with her Smile, her Praise, her Joy and her Faith.
***Enjoy the Fair and Be Careful out there. *GPigott
