Geez.  I thought we were to get some nice weather.  What do we get?   Rain and more rain.  One nice day, three days of rain.   Maybe it will get nicer during the week, but I have my doubts.    We need to send Mother Nature to the doctor to get some better meds.   It is what it is, and we can be glad we aren’t getting terrific storms, like some places.  So, hope you all enjoyed your weekend, despite the “not so nice weather”.  Better days are coming.  Count on it!  Hope so.  Can’t even get in the pool yet.  A little too cool.   The bunnies and birds and deer are liking the weather.  Once the lawn is mowed, the birds are all over looking for bugs and worms.  Just have to watch out for ticks.  I keep hearing they are bad this year.

Joyce Hails, from Hails Family Farm, tells me their ice cream shoppe is open from 12-8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.  Produce stand is open daily.  (Stop up and check them out.  They are located just outside Lopez on Route 487.)

Got the following from Maggie Brumwell, Civic Association:   It’s about that time folks!!  Lopez Old Home Day is Saturday, August 2nd, from Noon to 10 p.m.  We are going to need many volunteers, donations for raffle baskets, donations for prizes for kids and lots of hungry people.  Lopez Civic Association will be discussing this topic and more at our next meeting.  If you would like to join us, it’s Wednesday, June 25th at 6 p.m. at the Pavilion.  Also, if you are a Lopez resident, please consider become a member.  If you are not a Lopez resident, please consider becoming an associate member.  Hope to see you all there.   NOTE:  The meeting date has changed from the 18th to 25th for this month.

Happy Anniversary to Bob and Lisa Burke as they celebrate on the 19th.  Congratulations.

Happy Birthday to Cindy Stavisky, 23rd; and Ethan Leo Stavisky, 28th.  Hope you both have a fun, exciting day.

Did you know that June 19th is Juneteenth day and there will be no mail, no Court House and no bank.   Wonders will never cease.  Wonder what will be coming up next.

For bug bites relief, dab a small amount of Vicks VapoRub on the bites and rub it in.

Was nice to see Joe Caccia, Elmira, NY, and his son, Joe, Jr. from IL when they stopped to visit us on their way through Lopez.

Don’t forget that school is out and be watchful for kids.  Don’t be in such a hurry to get some place.  Leave a little earlier.  Kids are kids and sometimes are where you have to watch out for them.   Please slow down and drive safely when going through Lopez. I will be here next week.
