The kids were excited about the snow. There was the tiniest snowman in a yard I'd ever seen. Hard to believe it's November already. One way to make the Holiday season a little less stressful is to make a list of the people you will be buying gifts for and buy a few things at a time. Be sure to make a check off list and include the amount you have spent on the items. With much of your shopping done, you and the family can enjoy the season .

Things to do tonight:

Fri., Nov. 8 - A benefit spaghetti dinner will be held at the Sodus Center Fire Hall on Friday, November 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. Donations will be $6. Children under 10 will be $3. All proceeds will go to the American Stroke Association.
