I
t was a hot one.
But not to worry — you can stay
cool. Because summer has come
to an end. And though we might
not be free of the 90s yet — this
is southeastern North Carolina,
aer all — we can look forward to lower
temperatures as autumn leaves start to fall.
So grab your pumpkin latte and pumpkin
cupcake and head out for some cool fun
before you have to start making that
Christmas gi list.
Wait — did somebody say November?
Did you buy the turkey yet?
Time flies.
When you're having fun, that is.
