Happy Note: November 4th, 5th and 6th

Mornin’ All,

Happy Friday, Happy (almost) Weekend, and Happy End of the Week!😃

Wow! Turn your back for two seconds and all the leaves have fallen off the trees. Days are growing shorter. Looks like we’re getting ready to “fall back”(ooh, an extra hour of sleep on Sunday…and good luck getting cats to honor that😕). And Milwaukee weekend activities are decidedly moving indoors. But who would have thought that our June-ish weather would continue into November? Maybe a little cooler and maybe a little bit of rain this weekend. But it sure is unlike our typical November weather (gray, damp, cold). So let’s get out there, live it up, and make the most of it!😃

And so without further ado, and in no particular order, here are a few Milwaukee weekend things to do (weekend of November 4th, 5th, and 6th):
