Ahh mid-October. Time to take a quick break and hit an apple orchard or pumpkin patch. There is nothing more fun than a hay ride this year to either pick apples or find the right pumpkin. Seasonal family traditions are important and an apple orchard could be one of the big four. It is a …
Baseball playoff fever is here, for those sports fans that are fortunate enough to have a team that is still alive.
