Message from the Director
Happy Fall! Wow! Summer is over, and
the fall chill is in the air. Time to get
out those sweaters and jackets again.
This is the season for pumpkins, apple
cider, wiener roasts, etc. The view of
the river from our great room has been
spectacular!
We have been watching the leaves on the trees change color.
We are expecting to see changes in the bird population. Some
birds will be migrating to a warmer climate for the winter. Others,
such as ducks, eagles, hawks, owls & such will be making their
grand appearances soon. Nature is a beautiful thing to watch
as the seasons change...especially from the comfort of our great
room here at Riverview Estates sipping a hot cup of coffee!
Kristi Hubbs, Director

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN NIGHT
It’s very spooky on Halloween night,
The ghosts and goblins will give you a fright.
Watch your back, do not be blind.
If you’re not careful, who knows what you’ll find?
You might see things like little black bats,
Or you might see things like scary black cats.
On every porch there’s a pumpkin or two,
With their creepy grins smiling at you.
It’s very spooky on Halloween night.
