Maybe you are one of those people who got it all taken care of:)

If you are an organized person, maybe you can help someone else get organized for winter. Something to think about....you could be a big help in a small way to an elderly person, neighbor or widow. Not to say you have to help them winterize their whole place, but any little project you could do to help someone else can go along way. To think a small deed, can prevent a big problem for someone later. Who knows, you may make a new friend, or receive a cookie or just a thank you, a smile or a hug may make your day.

So Keep Warm, and Keep Safe, with Winter on it's Way! Make a Joyful Noise for This Day:)

Patriciarose,

Sounds like the cap on your range hood vent may need a look at, or replaced? Just a thought?

Oh this is a great reminder and I wished my Landlord would get in gear and fix my roof before the snow flies...as it's rained and some places leaked from the inside roof onto my stove area....ARGH! Why do some landlords don't head their responsibilities as a landlord?

Thanks,this is a very good reminder. So many things to do it's easy to forget some of the important things. It's also important to remember the elderly, that's always a blessing to help them. Thanks again!
