Hope you all had a good week and enjoyed whatever you did.  Didn’t turn out too bad.  Thought we were going to get a storm on Thursday, but passed us by.  We were in Sayre and they got hammered with wind and torrential rain for about half an hour.  Never saw it rain that hard that you couldn’t see across the road.  By the time we got ready to leave, you wouldn’t know it had rained.  The sun was out, got warm and dried everything up in no time.   Never can tell where Mother Nature is and what she will do.  The weekend turned out pretty nice.  We did have quite a storm late Sunday with lots of thunder, lightning and heavy rain.  Now, I hear storms again for most of the week, but that can change in the blink of an eye.

I have news to share from Jodi Brumwell, President of the Civic Association:  “It’s that time of year again!  Saturday, August 2nd, starting at Noon, come out and have a great time at Lopez Old Home Day!  Delicious food, cold beverages, kid’s games, bounce house, bingo, fireworks, DJ, raffle baskets, 50/50, and so much more.  Volunteers are really needed.  Contact Maggie Brumwell at 484-735-0671 or Jodi Brumwell at 570-971-5002 if you can help.  Hope to see you there.”

Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, July 16th, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion.

Happy Birthday wishes to Adam Aharonian, 18th; Evalyn Lansberry and Sister Ella Mae McDonald, 20th; and Matt Beaver, 21st.  Have a nice day.

Gerry Weslowski, Allentown, spent the weekend with Nina Weslowski and Brian McGuire.  Wife, Paula, is spending some time in Boston, MA, helping to care for her Mom (Nan), who is 102 year young.  She’s doing quite well for her age.

If you have a toothache and cannot get to the dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for 10 minutes several times during the day.  The pain will lessen greatly.

Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events coming up in Sullivan County.  Something may be of interest to you.  Read the other news columns for reports of things happening.  I know you will find something to really like.

Keep an eye to the sky as reports are for lots of rain during the week.  Sure wish Mother Nature would take a break and give us nicer days for a long period of time.  Enjoy your week, whatever you may do.  Have news, call me 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.
