Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 10:52PM | Becks Davis Woosh! And there it went. Summer is almost over, can you believe it? Did we really have a summer this year? I’ve already seen autumnal plants out at the stores and before we know it we’re going to be carving pumpkins and singing Christmas carols. Come on, you know it’s true.
So, we better enjoy the sun and the last days of summer while we still can.
