I just bought an Amazon sword plant that we needed a leaf from for science. Does anyone have a freshwater aquarium that would like this plant?

Reminder, Holiday Farms pumpkin patch is Wednesday, October 15 at 9:30. I would like to have a final head count by October 8, if you haven’t reached out to me yet, please do.

I am also looking at setting up a trip to the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler. This would be in November or January. Please let me know if you might be interested so I can get an idea of how many would be coming.

I am trying to book ice skating for us in December. From what I can tell, Savannah Civic Center is closed so we will have to go to Charleston Ice Palace. I will send out information on it once I have it booked!
