Ashlynn's Weekender Guide

Good morning and happy Thursday! We are just one week away from Thanksgiving! It's time to get the turkey. stuffing, green bean casserole, or whatever your favorite Thanksgiving dish is ready! For some of you, this will be your second or fourth Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving) meal you share this month. Just remember, throughout all your turkey eating, to take in the memories that you have with your loved ones and be thankful for what you have been blessed with!

That much expected cold snap has finally hit the Cleveland area, so it's time to get out your heavy coat and knit sweaters! The weather this weekend will continue that trend with temperatures dropping into the mid 30s and mid 50s. Sweater weather season is FINALLY here, which means it's time to get out there and do some winter activities.
