Friends of DOR OTHY DORO
Metra's calendar of EVENTS, that lets you know where all the HOT spots are!
By Auntie M4Doro@ aol.com If I were a meteorologist I’d be fired. Just when you think the weather is getting cooler, bam you get hit with a heat wave. And I can say it’s been one crazy weird summer. The 100th Anniversary of National “Sweetest Day” is coming up on Saturday, October 21st and is a time for romancing your loved one, or trying to find that special person. It also encourages everyone to be a little more generous even in the smallest ways, a little treat, a card, a show of support during a time of need, may be the sweetest gift to give on that day.
