Hope you all enjoyed your Holiday, whatever you did.  Saturday and Sunday were perfect for outdoor cookouts, getting in the pool to cool off, or going to check out the various fireworks displays around the County.  We did have one day of rain that didn’t last too long.  Our hearts go out to Texas and other states that have been having such bad weather.  The death toll of children, and adults, has risen from those at the camp in TX.   Please keep them in your prayers. 

The gardens seem to be coming along.  Flowers are looking nice.  Humming birds are playing at the feeders.  Saw a couple deer in the field.  All is good.

From what I’ve seen on Face Book, the bear sure are around.  Some pretty big ones and with little ones too.   Be aware of your surroundings.  You never know when they will show up.

Tent City had quite a few there over the Holiday and had some really nice fireworks again this year.  I also saw some from the front room window from up Lilac Lane or somewhere in that area.  They were nice too.  So much color.

Gerry and Paula Weslowski, Allentown, spent the long weekend with Nina Weslowski and Brian McGuire.  They all enjoyed camping.

Happy Birthday to Samantha Burke, 10th; Dan Stasiak, 11th; Averie Bahr, 13th; and David Black, 14th.   Have a fantastic day.

Happy Anniversary to David and Lavonne Black who celebrate on David’s birthday, the 14th.  Have many more.

Nicer weather on the way, so lots to see and do in Sullivan County.  Check the Sully, Face Book and Connie Hatch to find out all the particulars.  There’s sure to be something of interest for you.

Did you know Listerine can be used as a great itch relief on bug bites and poison ivy?  Dab some on a cotton swab and apply to itchy areas.

Ticks are especially bad this year so be careful when out, especially in higher grass and around bushes.  Sure don’t need Lyme disease.

My son and grandson went looking for berries and said the ticks were terrible.  Didn’t find any berries.  Said they are green yet.   They had ticks on them when they came home but got them all off before they embedded themselves in their skin.

I think that’s about it.  Enjoy your week.  Rain may be on the way again, but higher temperatures.   I know it’s allergy season, but hope you’re not bothered too much.  Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com.   I will get it in for you.  Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.
