One of our favorite Fall activities is when we go apple picking as a family. It’s something everyone looks forward to each and every year. We always go to the same orchard, pick the same variety of apples, take the same pictures, eat the same cider donuts – you know – the things that make warm, lasting memories.

You might say we’re big into traditions around here. Those are the things families will talk about long after we’re gone. Just like the memories my parents have from their childhood, my brother and I have from ours and my daughters have with my late husband and me. There’s nothing sweeter than sitting around and reminiscing about ‘the old days’ and the ‘remember when’s’.
