What’s New in Springfield, NE
September 26, 2007
 Fall has officially arrived. This is the time of the year when “not knowing what to wear” takes on a whole new meaning. When you start out the day wearing a winter coat and end it in your shorts or visa versa. Our closets are stuffed with sweaters and sleeveless shirts, pants and shorts, boots and sandals. Of course, the forecasters are no help. Don that sweater for an expected high of 50 and you end up sweltering at 80 degrees. This is a beautiful time of the year, though, with the trees wearing their autumnal colors, football, fall harvest, and cool temperatures. Enjoy!
It’s a boy! The Austin’s, Greg, Michelle and big brother, Blake welcomed baby, Nolan to the family on July 31st. Greg, a graduate of Platteview High, and family now live in Crete, NE. Congratulations, Austin family!
