[Holiday_Mom]

Our temperatures were abnormally warm although it's self-correcting this upcoming week. The leaves on the trees this past week have been spectacular. We have a sassafras tree that has a range of colors from burgandy to orange to brown. The leaves are beginning to fall a bit more and the pine trees are dropping needles and pine cones.

Katrina, I'm so impressed with your quarterly goals and your fun/extras list. You are doing so well.

• Exercise
