Letter From Karrie

Thoughts of Fall!

It’s hard to imagine with these hundred degree

temperatures that fall is right around the corner. Fall

is a great time in Nevada. I am actually coming up

on my nine year anniversary of moving to this

wonderful state and of course, I have come and gone

during those nine years but something always brings

me back. I look forward to fall in Nevada every

year; there are so many things to see and do. Many

of you have enjoyed a roaring UNR football game or

have taken in the morning glow of the beautiful

balloon races. I would love to start some fall

traditions here at Sierra Place, so I am reaching out

to you to share your ideas. We are working hard to

provide you with a more enriching lifestyle here at

Sierra Place! Please let Emilie or I know how we

can add some wonderful new fall traditions here in

our home!

September 9th is Grandparents’ Day!

September Birthdays

In astrology, Virgo’s Virgins are those born

between September 1–22. Virgos are one of

the most careful signs of the zodiac. They pay

attention to detail, analyze problems, and plan so

as to leave nothing to chance. These amazing

listeners give excellent advice. Those born from

September 23–30 balance the scales of Libra.

Libras strive for balance, avoid conflict, and

desire fairness for everyone. To achieve this,

they are sociable, strategic, charming, and

diplomatic.
