Great calendar....good information for anyone looking for things to do in
I like this as it gives people options and not too far ahead of time for them!!
Leesa - I don't miss the cold that fall brings, but I do miss the leaves changing colors. Great week ahead in Wake Forest NC.
Great list with many options for people to choose from depending on what they like to do. I hope the fundraiser for Sybrina is a huge success. My son had cancer when he was 10. I can tell you that the family needs all the help that they can get.
Thanks, Thom! I sincerely hope that people find these posts useful - I've done them for over two years now...
Thanks, Melanie! I know that if I get too much notice I just forget about it.
I think that's the one place that we differ Michelle - WEATHER! Give me COLD, RAIN, SNOW and I am a happy girl! Who would have thought I was born in Florida????
Oh my goodness, Mel - I am so sorry to hear that! I, too, hope that there is a HUGE turnout for the fundraiser!
Leesa, all is good now. He has been in remission for about 8 years. I really feel for your local family though.
Wow - I can't even imagine the strength that pulled you through that, Mel! My son is MY WORLD! I am so relieved to hear that he is in remission!
