S eptember found us enjoying every moment of the last of our beautiful summer weather as we harvested
the vegetables from our garden, toured Ramblin’ Rose Alpaca Farm (pictured at right), sipped iced coffees in the Ashtabula Harbor at Harbor Perk, and enjoyed a walk on the boardwalk at the beach. We’re still looking forward to our Pymatuning and Brant’s Apple Orchard trips at the time of this writing.

We also had the opportunity to cheer on our local football team with a dinner and our very own Villa cheerleaders before their Homecoming game. What a great evening! See you next month . . . .
