I don't know about you, but I won't soon forget Summer 2011! Wonderful weather, Joy-fm's exciting 96 Days of Summer, the Buffalo waterfront coming alive and my daughter's beautiful wedding. No doubt--a summer to remember. But now comes my absolutely favorite season. I love the changing autumn leaves, fall camping, seasonal foods like crisp WNY apples, cider and pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies and even pumpkin lattes! I'll be cheering along with you for our Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres. And I will definitely find time to relax with a few good books. There's lots to see, taste and experience in Western New York this time of year. Take Joy-fm with you. Listen for great music, great fun and lots of chances to win!
