THE FALL OF FALL

October was a wonderful month. Usually I am not a fan of the month. It is fine until the middle of the month and then the beautiful trees lose their leaves and they all fall down (similar to Humpty Dumpty). This year however the temperatures stayed warm longer and the leaves took their "good 'ole time" turning colors. However November ushered itself in with a blustery wind and rain. The temperatures are still great but the rain and wind have caused the trees to shed their leaves. On a brighter note, our son decided to run for the local school board this year and was elected. It was close and there will be a recount as dictated by Ohio law. I am very proud of him for all of his service to his community and his belief that he can stand, counted and make a difference. The hard work is just beginning as well as all of those "wonderful" phone calls that he can look forward too! Still, it is nice that he is putting himself out there. Kudos!!!
