Of working with the team and owner Dave Coyle, Cassie says, “It’s fantastic. He’s a great boss. He makes you feel appreciated and good about the work you’re doing. He trusts us to do our jobs. The team is really great and very welcoming. It definitely is a good feeling to work with everyone here.” Cassie recently moved to the city, and she says it’s been an exciting change of pace. “Everything is available. We have so many more things to go out and do,” Cassie says. The new environment fits in with her strong work ethic, too. “I love being busy,” she says. “I get to be busy at work and then go home, and my kids keep me busy, as well.” Her two kids, Brodirick and Bristal, enjoy their new home and exploring nature. “We spent the entire summer outdoors. We’re definitely an outdoorsy family,” Cassie says. Come winter, they head indoors to catch up on the latest football game. AUTUMN ARRANGEMENTS It’s time to get crafty! Creating your own fall arrangements will ensure that your home has the seasonal decorations you want. Making beautiful fall flower arrangements for your kitchen table or wreaths for your front door to greet guests will create the desired autumn vibe you’ve been searching for. MOVIE NIGHT Gather your loved ones in the living room with popcorn, blankets, and a great film. Make the most of your autumn evenings by cozying up and spending quality time with each other while watching some family holiday favorites, like “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” or the Thanksgiving comedy-drama “Pieces of April.” HOME-COOKED FOOD When autumn rolls around, pie and warm cider may be high on your list of tasty treats you’re eagerly anticipating. This fall, encourage your family to take part in making annual goodies and sharing them with your neighbors. Nothing warms the heart more than receiving a loaf of freshly baked pumpkin bread during these increasingly cold days. KNITTED SCARVES If you’re handy with knitting needles, now is the season to put them to work. Hand-knitted scarves are great gifts to give throughout the fall and winter, and you can also make it a family activity! Take some time to teach your kids how to knit and crochet to create scarves of their very own.

Throughout November, everyone is eagerly looking forward to Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, but you shouldn’t let the rest of the month slip past you! Enjoy these other fall activities with the whole family.

HOMEMADE CARAMEL APPLES Homemade treats are no doubt far better than their store-bought counterparts. Try your hand at making your own caramel apples for the whole family to enjoy. You can also add a number of toppings to liven things up, such as nuts, white or milk chocolate, coconut, sprinkles, or pecans.
