Friends,
It’s officially autumn. Beyond the pumpkin spice debate lies a more important topic in my house: Halloween.
My 7-year-old twins have been planning their costumes since August, so I’m very aware of how critical Oct. 31 is in their world. I’m not the only one, either. So many communities are planning trick-or-treat events, that I can’t possibly list them all. As a PTO mom, I’m helping plan a trunk-or-treat at our Eastside elementary.
Enjoy the fun of October. In addition to getting juiced up on candy, there are apple orchards to visit (try convincing your kids that you’re going doughnut picking, too, it’s fun), pumpkins to carve, chili to make and football to watch. What’s your favorite activity?
Enjoy autumn,
Rebecca
Holy Cannoli’s in Rochester: Global Fame with a Local Recipe
There have been no official scientific findings that support her claim, but Sharon Pino Beheler, third-generation baker and member of the family team at Holy Cannoli’s in Rochester, says, “Cannolis keep you young!”
“All my grandmothers, aunts and uncles lived to be 100 – or just about,” she states, chuckling.
