PERSONAL FAVORITE – Need a get-a-way but don’t want to go too far or spend too much?  Last Saturday Bonnie and I went to the Berry Hill Resort near South Boston.  Had dinner and stayed there over night.  The meal was great and the room spectacular.  We had a special deal they offered last year.  See more info at: http://www.berryhillonline.com/  I think having dinner in the Tavern would also be neat on a cold, winter’s night!  The production crew from Ghost Hunters was there the week before so look for that on TV in the future.

 

ADVISORY – Don’t forget to turn your clock back one hour Saturday night as daylight savings time leaves us for a few months.

 

Don’t forget to winterize your boats for the winter.  The freezing temps will be here before you know it (or are ready). Also, if you want some non-ethanol gas, I noticed that the Orange Market on Hwy 58 East of South Boston has this gas.  Also put Sta-Bil or some other additive in the tanks to stop corrosion and moisture related problems.

 

ADVERTISER HIGHLIGHT – Want to be our Neighbor?  Prudential Pointer and Associates agents Arthur and Tammy Snead have our neighbor’s house listed.  This isn’t your everyday lake house but a house built with no detail left out.  You have to see it to appreciate all the details.  And, of course it is in the best neighborhood on the lake, Erroll Court in Bradmore Estates which is right across the road from the Person-Caswell Lake Recreational Area.
