Here is another one
Hope you all enjoyed your St. Patrick’s weekend and wore lots of green.
We had some really windy weather and two days got up to 50+ degrees. Was nice enough to wash clothes and hang them on the line. They dried really well. Sunday we had quite a thunder storm with lightning and very high winds. Mother Nature is still telling us she’s here. At least it wasn’t snow, for which I’m glad. The sun came out Sunday afternoon and made for a nice afternoon. Hopefully, it will start getting nicer now and we’ll have lots more warm weather. The geese have been coming back, robins have been seen (I haven’t seen any). Waiting to see if the blue birds will come back to the same nests they had last year. I think Spring will get here within a few days. At least, according to the calendar, but the weather changes day by day.
Hope to see you at the 55th annual Che-Hanna Gem and Mineral show this weekend, the 22nd and 23rd. This is held at the Wysox Fire Hall and is from 9-5 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday. Plenty to see and do while you are there. Food will be available for purchase. There are nice, educational displays. There are dealers with lots to offer in the way of minerals, books, fossils, etc. There will be a mini-mine for the kids; you can have a geode cut open and see what’s inside and take that home; you can make a cabochon and take it home with you. UVBOB will be doing fluorescent mineral programs during the weekend. Come, see what it’s all about.
Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, Landenberg, spent a few days at their home here. Was nice to get away even though they couldn’t do much here.
B’s Gang sends birthday wishes to Steph Putnam, 17th; Kristin (Putnam) Carter, 18th; and Lori Higley, 19th. Have a great day.
Have you ever smelled bleach in a doctor’s office. NO!! Why? Because it smells, and it is not healthy. Did you know bleach was invented in the late ’40’s? It’s chlorine. It was used to kill our troops. Peroxide was invented during WWI. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals. (Learned a history lesson.) Take one capful of hydrogen peroxide and hold it in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.
Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, Landenberg, spent a few days at their home here. Despite the weather, they had an enjoyable time.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that may be coming up that you’d be interested in.
That’s it for now. Enjoy your week. It’s going to get better, I just know it. 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.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
We had some really strange weather the past week. Pouring rain all day Wednesday, but it did get up to 51 degrees. We had some really windy and frigid weather. Didn’t know what it was going to do next. On Saturday a snow squall went through that covered roads and made for an icy mess for a while. I guess Mother Nature isn’t done yet. Hoping for Spring and warmer weather soon. Supposed to arrive on the 20th, so we’ll see what happens.
Irene (Huray) Pequignot, Linden, had a nice visit with Linda (Hallabuk) Baton on Saturday at The Highlands in Laporte. She also stopped by to visit us while she was in Lopez.
Happy Birthday to Elizabeth Weisbrod, 14th; Kathy Isett, 15th; Gianna DiRocco, 16th; and Don Risser, 17th. Hope you all have a nice day.
Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 19th, 6 p.m. at the Township Building.
Che-Hanna 55th annual Gem and Mineral show is coming up soon. Check the article here in the Sully and more information on Face Book. Hope to see many of you there.
Did you know if you place the heel of the bread on top of cabbage before putting the lid on and cooking it——there will be no odor. The bread has an effect on the cabbage and can be removed after cooking. This also works well for brussel sprouts and broccoli.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for those activities coming up that you may be interested in.
Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowki enjoyed a mini vacation in Bonita Springs, FL, where they visited friends. They also visited his Uncle John and Aunt Barb Hart and their son, Greg, in Valrico, FL. Weather was perfect and they did some sightseeing, played some mini golf, had excellent food and just an enjoyable time while they were there.
That’s it for this time. Enjoy your week, Better days are ahead from looking at the map. Maybe some rain, hopefully no ice, and lots of sunshine. 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.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Well, how do you like that brisk wind we’ve been having. It’s been brutal for a few days, but the sun is at least out to help a little. Does this mean March is coming in like a lion and will go out like a lamb? Sure hope so. Heard some warmer temperatures on the way with some rain too. Spring is coming, have no fear. A couple days it did get up to 40+ and that was nice.
SPRING AHEAD!! Turn your clocks AHEAD ONE HOUR on Saturday before you go to bed.
Happy Birthday to Ruby Malkemes and Tally (McGee) Tierney, both on the 10th; Julian Bonner, 11th; and Bob McGuire, Sr., 13th. Hope you all have a nice day,
Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski spent the weekend in Allentown with her parents, Gerry and Paula Weslowski. Weather was nice for travel and visiting.
You can remove a splinter by taking an Epsom salts bath. The salts will draw out the splinter and leave the area clean. Who really has time to do that? I think the needle works much faster, but give it a try,
Lopez Civic meeting will be held on Wednesday, the 19th, 6 p.m. at the Township Building,.
Check out the Sully and Face Book for any events coming up that might be of interest to you. I see the Eagles Mere Toboggan slide is closed for the season. It was so good to finally have it open for the many that came to enjoy the ride and see what else was going on around Eagles Mere and the County.
That’s it for now. Enjoy the cold week and think sunny, warm thoughts for Spring to come soon, 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. If anyone would like their birthday or anniversary in my column, please let me know and I will put you on my calendar.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Finally had a couple days of warmer weather, along with days of cold weather. Sunday it hit 37 degrees with sunshine. The week is to be pretty nice too. Hope some of the ice gets melted. Last thaw was good, but night time came and it all froze into a solid mass of ice. Lots of “grippers” were used to get around.
Nice to see the Eagles Mere Toboggan slide is still running. Not long lines now and it’s a fast ride down over the lake, but a slow walk back up the hill. Brian McGuire, Nina Weslowski, Tim and Lori Higley enjoyed it on Saturday afternoon. Sad it was fun and about 45 mph. This was a first time for Nina, Tim and Lori. Right ahead of them to ride was TJ, Allison and Jase Lowden, and a friend of theirs, with Ted watching from the sidelines. What a fun day they all had. From some pictures i saw on Face Book, it looked pretty windy too, going at that speed.
I goofed in last week’s paper when I said Clair Johnson II celebrated his birthday on the 29th. I meant to hit the “0”, but missed. His special day was the 20th. There aren’t even 29 days in February this year. (LOL)
Happy Birthday wishes to Linda Baton, 8th; and Janelle Day, 9th. Have a good day.
Fourth weekend in March will be the 55th Annual Che-Hanna Rock and Gem Show. Check out details on Face Book Events. There will be an article in the Sully soon.
Did you know you can use Peroxide to clean mirrors? Just spray some on and wipe clean. No smearing, works like a charm.
I know there may be more things coming up in the weeks ahead, so keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book to see if there’s something of interest to you. I know they’re going to try and get the Sleigh Rally in; it has been cancelled twice; Mother Nature did not cooperate for that.
Lopez Civic Association meeting coming up on Wednesday, March 19th, 6 p.m. at the Township Building. Contact Jodi Brumwell or Kathy Isett for details.
Get well wishes to all those who are not feeling well. Still a lot of ” junk” going around that is making people sick. And, it does not go away soon; sometimes lingers for 3-4 weeks, or longer. Hope you all feel better soon,
Guess that’s about it. Enjoy your week, especially is we have nice, sunny, warm weather. I’ll take ti for sure. 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.

I guess the groundhog was right. I think we’re in for six more weeks of winter and then some. This weather we’ve been having is brutal. The wind is never ending and the temperatures really drop down over night and don’t go up much during the day sometimes. We did have a couple of days that hit 40 degrees. We had some rain and very icy conditions. Sure hope it clears up soon. The week’s weather I heard is not to be so good, with a snow storm coming about Thursday. Early to tell, but hope it’s wrong. Stay safe everyone.
Happy Birthday wishes to Clair Johnson II, 29th; Armond Spinosa, 22nd; Jacob Williams, 23; and Bob McGuire, Jr., 26th. Hope you all have a nice day.
Nice to see that there are so many enjoying the Eagles Mere Toboggan slide. It’s up and running when weather permits. It’s a good fund raiser for the Fire Company.
Don’t have much news as I’m not out and about with the cold, snowy, icy conditions. Don’t need any more aches and pains. There are still some flu bugs going around, so get well to those who don’t feel quite up to “par” right now and hope you feel better soon.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that may be coming up that you’d be interested in. It was too bad the Sleigh Rally had to be cancelled, but hopefully it will take place later in the month.
I think that’s about it. Enjoy your week, whatever your plans. Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; snail 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.

Winter is still with us. Had some pretty cold days. Had a couple of warm days. It got up to 45 degrees last Monday. Had some pretty good wind gusts. I hope better weather is on the way. From the forecast I saw, it doesn’t look too good for the week. I guess we’ll take whatever Mother Nature throws our way.
Seems like everyone is enjoying the Eagles Mere toboggan slide. Need the colder weather for that to run, I’m glad to see it going as that’s a major fund raiser for the Eagles Mere Fire Company. If you’re in the area, take a ride. It’s a good ride down over the lake. The hard part is walking back up the hill with the sled.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for information on the 55th annual Che-Hanna Gem and Mineral Show, coming up the 4th weekend in March. Lots to see and do while you’re there. Mark your calendar for March 22 and 23. Hope to see you there.
Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, Landenberg, braved the cold, snowy weather and spent a few days at their home here. Since Diane couldn’t work outside, she enjoyed putting her puzzle together.
Happy Birthday to Tommy VanDyke, 14th; Haley Latch, 15th; Allison Lowden, 17th; and Khloie Bahr, 19th. Have a nice day.
Linda (Hallabuk) Baton is now a resident at The Highlands in Laporte. If you’re in the area, stop in and say Hello. I’m sure she’d be glad to see you. Or, send a cheery card. Hope she is doing better after her hip and arm surgery.
An Epsom salt bath is a wonderful way to draw toxins out of your body. Soaking in a bath for 10-15 minutes is also a good way to reduce swelling. Mix 1-2 cups of Epsom salts in a warm bath and mix to dissolve in the water.
Lot of flu bugs going around, so get well to anyone suffering from the flu or a cold. Hope you’re feeling better soon. Can’t wait for warm, sunny days.
That’s about it for now. Enjoy your week, whatever your plans. Make the best with whatever you do. 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.

Enjoying the nice cold, windy, snowy weather? It is that time of year so should be expected. It is snowing Sunday evening as I sit here and type my news. We had rain all day on Friday, colder on Saturday, and really cold and windy on Sunday, with only 3 degrees in the morning. The high for Sunday was only 23 degrees. That wind we’ve been having is making lots of tree limbs and branches to fall and even some trees have come down.
Glad to hear the Eagles Mere toboggan slide is finally in operation after 11 years not working, due to weather conditions. It was closed Friday evening, due to rain, but did open on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday. Quite the crowd was there as it’s quite exciting to ride that sled down the hill and across the lake. The hard part is walking back up with the sled for another ride. So many people waiting in line, they had to close down selling tickets because they wouldn’t be able to ride. Great job by all those who helped make this happen, during some really cold weather. It’s a nice fundraiser for the Eagles Mere Fire Company. Hats off to all for what you do! We may get some warmer weather during the week, with more rain.
Keep an eye on the Sully and FB for those things that may be up-coming, some will be weather permitting. You may be interested in taking part in them or just watching. I know the Sleigh Rally and the Chocolate/Wine walk is Saturday, the 15th.
Happy Belated birthday to our grandson, Tyler, who celebrated 24 years on Ground Hog day. Yes, we will have six more weeks of winter.
Birthday wishes also to Dee Whatley, 4th; Alex Aharonian, 11th; and Lisa Williams, 13th. Have a nice day.
Get well wishes to all those who may not be feeling “up to par” right now and hope you feel better soon. Lots of “stuff” (crap) going around right now.
More information on the Che-Hanna Rock and Mineral 55th annual show will be in the Sully soon. Mark your calendar for March 22 and 23. Will keep you posted.
Lopez Civic Association is still on hiatus until the third Wednesday in March. Meetings are at 6 p.m. and are held at the Township Building. Membership dues are due, so contact Kathy Isett at 610-413-6439. You can also let her know if you’d like to me a member.
I think that’s all I have for now. Enjoy your week; I know there will be lots to do. 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.

BRRRRR is all I can say for the week’s weather. We had Minus 23 and minus 21 and very windy conditions. Too frigid to do much outside. The kids had a two hour delay. Then, on Sunday, it hit 34 degrees, which felt pretty good. Sun was shining, but still a frigid wind. Most of the next week is to be fairly nice until Thursday when there may be a cold spell again.
Congratulations to Kyleigh McDonald and Ruby Malkemes for Outstanding Achievement, who both scored Advanced in all subjects of the 2024 PSSA tests and the Keystone All Star tests. Kyleigh was awarded a certificate and medal for the PSSA tests and Ruby was awarded a certificate and medal for the Keystone All Star tests. Well deserved honor!
Please keep Linda (Hallabuk) Baton in your thoughts and prayers as she fell and broke her hip and her arm. She is at UPMC in Williamsport right now. Hope she can come home soon.
Got an e-mail from Joyce Bohensky Johnson Ford in Pensacola, FL. listing the best places to live and retire. Lancaster, PA, was listed as the #1 place to retire, followed by Harrisburg, PA #2. Pensacola, where Joyce lives, was named 3rd best place to retire. Pensacola’s overall rating from US News & World Report is 6.4 out of 10. Think that’s the reason people are moving to FL? Also in the top 25 were FL cities, including Melbourne #12; Lakeland #13; Ocala #16; and Port St. Lucie #22. The rest of the article was interesting, but too much to put here. Thanks Joyce.
Hppy Birthday to Jennifer Pequignot Laird, 28th; and Lisa and Jason Burke, both on the 30th. Hope you have a nice day.
Irene (Huray) Pequignot, Linden, stopped by to visit us on Saturday when she was in town.
Did you know you can use Listerine for clogged nose and sinuses? Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold or plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events coming up that you may be interested in. The BIG news is that the Eagles Mere toboggan slide is going to be held this year. Opening day is Friday, the 31st. Go check it out. Wear warm clothes and be prepared to take a long walk back up the hill. There is a lot of this mentioned, along with pictures, on Face Book. This is great news as 2014 was the last time it operated, due to warm weather.. Enjoy!
I think that’s all the news for now. Enjoy your week. 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.

Brrrr! It’s cold outside. We have MINUS 5 at 7:30 a.m. early Monday morning and guess it’s going to get worse during the week. Be safe out there; dress warm; and don’t go out if you don’t have to. Glad the kids had no school, due to Martin Luther King holiday. Had some snow on Sunday evening; enough to plow and shovel. Hopefully that’s it for a while, but I don’t think so.
Irene Pequignot recently attended her granddaughter, Elexus Dunkleberger’s pinning where she also received the Daisy award for extraordinary nursing. The next day, she attended her graduation for her Associate of Applied Science Assoc. degree for nursing. After, they all enjoyed lunch to celebrate. Congratulations, Elexus!
Did you know you can make your own home-made drain cleaner? Dump 1/2 cup baking soda in the drain. Add 2 cups vinegar and 1 cup hot water. Let sit 20 minutes. Flush with boiling water.
The annual Che-Hanna Rock and Mineral Club show is slowly coming up. Check the Sully and FB for all the information. It’s a great show and you should attend, if you can. Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 22nd and Sunday, March 23rd.
Remember, St. Vladimir’s Church has no pierogies for sale until Spring when they hope to start again. Will keep you informed.
Happy Birthday to Irene (Huray) Pequignot, 22nd; Scott Aharonian and Anna Williams, both on the 27th. Have a nice day.
Happy Anniversary to Alex and Ginny Stavisky, 22nd and Al and Jeannie Kapler, 23rd. Have a great day.
Civic meetings will start again in March, weather permitting. Third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. Membership dues are now due.
That’s it for now. Enjoy your cold, cold week, whatever you may be doing. Dress in layers if going out to keep warm. 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 your item in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.
editor note: Tuesday hit -19.5 degrees and that’s pretty cold.
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
COLD & WINDY!!! Had some pretty low temperatures; some flurries and about an inch of snow. Heard there is another storm coming around the 18th. We shall see.
Get well wishes to anyone bothered with colds or flu. There is a lot of stuff going around again. Feel better soon.
Did you know you can use Epsom Salts for dry, cracking, flaking lips? Heal this uncomfortable condition with a homemade Epsom salt lip balm. Mix equal parts organic coconut oil and Epsom salts. Apply to lips generously to exfoliate and moisturize.
Won’t be long and the annual Che-Hanna Rock and Mineral Show will be here. It’s held the fourth weekend in March at the Wysox Volunteer Fire Co. Social Hall. Lots to see and do. Posters will be put out soon with all the information. Watch the Sully and Face Book for articles and up-dates. Food will be available for purchase. Hope to see you there.
Keep an eye on FB and the Sully for up-coming events you might be interested in. The Sully has a section on “Events of Interest”. Check them both out and you might find something to “tickle your toes”. There are a few things coming up that need snow to take place.
Guess that’s it for now. Enjoy your week, whatever you may do. Let’s hope Mother Nature and Ol’ Man Winter will be good to us and not leave us with a lot of snow. I know it’s winter and we get snow and I know it’s pretty, but shoveling and plowing aren’t fun.
Have news give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I’ll get it in for your. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time. Stay warm, everyone.
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!! Hope the 2025 year will be a good one for everybody.
We ended the year with some really cold weather; some snow; and the wind. As I type my news this Sunday morning, it is sunny and 18 degrees, but still windy. No snow so far, which is good, I guess. Seems like the week is going to be pretty good too, with little or no snow. That can change in an instant, so just have to watch out the window and see what we see.
FLASH: St. Vladimir’s Church has SOLD OUT on pierogies. They hope to be back in production in the Spring, if all goes well. I will keep you informed as soon as I know when that will take place.
We had a nice visit from Bill and Linda Pfieffer, Hughesville, when they came to wish us a Happy New Year. Lots of catching up to do and was a fun time. She brought her really good homemade fudge, cheese and beef stick; and she went home with a loaf of homemade chocolate zucchini bread.
Happy Birthday wishes to start off the New Year are sent to Jeannie Kapler and Alex Stavisky, 4th; Matt Weisbrod, 6th; Linda Santarelli, 7th; John McDonald, Jr., 9th. Have had/have a nice day.
B’s gang wishes Tyler Higley a great day as he celebrates his birthday on the 13th.
Happy Anniversary to Ted and Linda Beaver as they celebrate on the 12th. Have a fantastic day.
Did you know that if you add one teaspoon of water when frying ground beef, it helps pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski spent the New Year’s weekend with her family in Boston. They helped her Nan celebrate her 102nd birthday on New Year’s Eve. God Bless her. Many more, Nan.
I think that’s the news for now. Enjoy your week. You will probably have to bundle up if you are out and about. That air is sharp. Have news give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopez.pa.com. I’ll get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
What a frigid day, Saturday, as I sit and type my news. Supposed to get some pretty cold weather, so bundle up if you’re going out.
I missed the end of the year birthdays last week, so here they are.
Happy Birthday to V Rev Mother Christophora and Christian Santarelli, 19th; Alyssa Pequignot, 20th; Everlyn Brumwell, 21st; Kaeleigh McDonald and Lillie Ann Bahr, 23rd; and Ginny Stavisky, 31st, Hope you all had or will have a great day.
Sympathy from the community to the family, relatives and many, many friends of Mary Lowden who passed away on the 19th after her hard fought battle with ALS. She touched many people’s lives with her kindness, laughter and just being a good person. Taken way too soon and she will certainly be missed by all who knew her.
St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month. They can be picked up at the Church Hall from Noon to 1 p.m.. To order call 732-221-2803.

Like the nice frosty weather? We had some really cold temperatures last week. Had some snow and some nicer days too. I guess we can now say winter is here with the single digit numbers. I did hear some nicer weather for this week. Gotta take what we get.
Congratulations to the following students who all made the Distinguished Honor Roll for the first marking period. This includes Reese Baton; Greyson Schiele; Miles Baton; Makayla Day’ Kyleigh McDonald; Izabella Capriotti; Ruby Malkemes; Kaeleigh McDonald; Adriana Capriotti; and Bruno Day. Great job and keep up the good work!

Did you know if you pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip, you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Works also with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Try it. Static will be gone.
To get the full weather report, check Sam Burke’s weather in the paper.
Enjoy your week. Got your Christmas shopping done? Still time to do that last minute run to the store for gifts. Shop local and support the small businesses. May need the snow shovel this week. Time will tell.
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. Comments always welcome.

Weather has been up and down. Can you believe 45 degrees Sunday for the 7th of December. Sun was nice and melted a lot of the snow. See the whole week’s weather in Sam’s Lopez weather report elsewhere in the paper. I did hear it’s to be in the 40’s for most of the week, with rain predicted. Sure did see a lot of BIG buck pictures in last week’s paper. There were some lucky hunters out there for sure. If it’s still hunting season, good luck hunters. If not, good luck next time.
Sympathy to the family, relatives and friends of Roseanne Lukachik who passed away on Friday, the 6th. She had been very active in her Church, Mildred American Legion Post and the Civic Association. Such a pleasant person and always had a kind word for everyone. She certainly will be missed.
St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month. They can be picked up at the Church Hall from Noon to 1 p.m. To order, call 732-221-2803.
I see more Christmas decorations going up and they look quite festive. Santa will be here before you know it. I hope all the boys and girls have been nice as Santa is checking his list.
Remember, no Civic meeting until March 2025.
Happy Birthday to Noah Brown, 14th; Carter Vermiere and Austin Stavisky, 17th. Hope you all have a nice day.
Here’s a tip for those of you who like garlic and use it in your cooking. Add garlic immediately to a recipe for a light taste. Add garlic at the end of a recipe for a stronger taste.
I think there will still be things going on around the County, so keep an eye on “Events of Interest” in the Sully and also Face Book to see what might interest you.
Haven’t been out and about so don’t know a who lot of news.
That’s it for now. Enjoy your week, whatever you get into. 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.

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving with whoever you celebrated it with. Weather wasn’t bad at all. Saturday was 15 degrees for a low and Sunday was 10 degrees for a low. Always a lot of wind, frost and cold. But, it is that time of year. Hopefully some calm, nice weather is on the way yet.
Hunters—did you bag your trophy deer? If not, I think there is still time. I did see a couple of pictures on Face Book and in the Sully where some got some pretty big ones. I think if the snow stays in the fields, the hunters will have a better time tracking and getting it out of the woods or wherever it may be. Food for the winter months.
Did you know that tomatoes and take stains off your hands? And, they can also take stains out of white clothes. Good information. Thanks, Connie.
St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month. To order, call 732-221-2803. They can be picked up at the Church Hall from Noon to 1 p.m.
Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski enjoyed Thanksgiving weekend with her family in Boston, MA.
Bob McGuire, Tyler McGuire, and Marcia Pedro fixed a delicious Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the fixings at his house. Tyler made a really good pumpkin pie. I was not feeling up to par, so didn’t do any of the cooking.
Happy Birthday to Kevin Partington, 4th; Elexus Dunkleberger, 6th; Gabriel Williams and Robyn McCobin, 8th; Aaron Risser, 9th; and Alexis Musani, 10th. Hope you all have an awesome day.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book. There’s always something listed in “Coming Events” in the Sully and on SC News and Bulletin Board on FB. You may something of interest to you. Haven’t heard anything so far about the Eagles Mere toboggan slide, but may be a bit early yet.
Hope everyone is well. If not, I hope you get better soon. Maybe this cold weather will kill the germs that are going around.
Enjoy your week, whatever you plan to do. I see many are getting their trees up and decorations done outside. Will look pretty nice with the lights on at dark.
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. Comments always welcome. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

Had quite the snow storm Thursday into Friday. Got dumped with 12+ inches. Made for a really snowy day on Friday with schools closed and bad road conditions. Our power went off at 5:15 a.m. on Friday and just got it back at 2:15 on Sunday afternoon. Thank you to all those hard workers that got the power restored as soon as they could. Lots of damage done with the heavy, wet snow.
Tyler McGuire, Liverpool, NY, is spending Thanksgiving week with his Dad, Bob, Jr., Uncle B, Nina Weslowski and us. Looking for a good visit while he is here.
December birthdays coming up include Kevin Partington, 4th and Elexus Dunkleberger, 6thj. Have a nice day.

Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski hosted a Halloween Party/50th Birthday (Brian) Bash on Saturday at their home on Main Street. Friends near and far came for a great evening. So much variety and delicious food brought by those who came. Lots of visiting and catching up. Most everyone came in costume and there were some pretty good ones. There was an amusing slide show, presented by Diane Karonian and her family, of Brian from his early years to today.
Gerry and Paula Weslowski, along with their son, Paul, and his friend, Chris, Allentown, spent the weekend with Brian and Nina and had a good time at the party.
Tent City was pretty much full over the weekend as they all came in to attend the party for Brian. What a fantastic time for all.
Happy 50th Birthday “B”, on the 11th, and many more.
Happy Birthday toTim Bullis, 5th; Teri Bullis, 7th; Grayson Burke, 8th; and Aiden Sperry, 13th. Have a great day.

Hope you all are in good health and enjoying the nice weather yet. Pretty soon, down the road, we’ll get some “not so nice” weather. I don’t look forward to it, but it’s coming.
Out of Windex? Fill a cup with water half way and fill the other half with Listerine. Pour it on your glass table or spray on your windows and wipe off with a paper towel. Sparklingly, smudge-free glass.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that may be going on around the County that you might be interested in.

As I sit here Sunday evening typing my news, I see we finally got some much needed rain. Still need more to really wet things down so there is still a burn ban in effect. We did have some frosty days, always windy, and some nice, sunny days. May get some more rain during the week. Haven’t seen many animals around lately. Guess they’re trying to stay away from the hunters. Hope you hunters were lucky during archery season and got your deer. It ended on Saturday and rifle will be in next for you to try again.

Happy Anniversary to TJ and Alison Lowden as they celebrate on the 17th. Have a great day.
Did you know that watermelons are good for you? They contain Vitamin, A, B6, C, lycopene, inflammation fighting antioxidants and minerals, even though they are mostly water. Lycopene also is valued for its role in protecting the cardiovascular system and preventing some cancers. Interesting. I did not know this, and I do like watermelon.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book, especially the news columns of Connie Hatch and Eloise Caseman. They know a lot of what, when and where things go on in the County. And, you’ll enjoy Eloise’s “joke of the week”.
Guess that’s about it for now. Enjoy your week, even though it may be a bit rainy, should be warm, from what I saw. But, you know Mother Nature. She can change her mind any time.
Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; snail mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will do my best to get it all in. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time. Always enjoy the comments.

We had some wicked wind during the week. I saw a gust of 25.4 mph. Lots of frost and some sun too. Maybe Mother Nature is telling us something. We’ve been very lucky so far. Almost the end of November and can’t complain. Just hope it stays nice for Thanksgiving and Christmas for those who will be traveling.
It gets dark so early, the other night it was 6 p.ml and I thought it was time for bed. Makes for a real dreary day.
St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of the month. They can be picked up at the Church Hall from Noon to 1 p.m. To order call 732-221-2803.
Happy Birthday to some fine folks out there who will be celebrating. Serenity Laird, 23rd; Parker Schiele, 24th and Cassidy Brown, 30th. Hope you all have a nice day.
Did you know you can use Listerine as a deodorant? My report says it really does work. It’s great for fighting odors Dab some on a cotton ball and gently rub it in your arm pits. Give it a try!
Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, Landenberg, spent a few days at their home here.
Got your Christmas shopping done? There’s still time and there are local businesses to get those nice gifts for your loved ones. Shop local and give them the support.
Civic dues are now due. See Kathy Isett or give her a call at 610-413-6439 to renew or to join the Civic Association. Only a buck and would be nice for some of the younger ones to get involved with helping. Older folks are also welcome.
Hope everyone is feeling really good, with the Holidays on the horizon. No fun being under the weather at this special time of year. I see some folks are getting their Christmas decorations up and they look very festive and bright. Love seeing all the displays for the season. I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but if you’re in the mood for Christmas, go for it! Won’t hurt anyone and may brighten up your day.
Check Sully and Face Book for up-coming events you may be interested in. The Sully has many listed under “Events of Interest”. You may find something to your liking.
I guess that’s it for now Enjoy your week, even if it’s not the best. Good weather is on the way. 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. Comments always welcome.

Some frosty mornings, but nice, sunny weather during the day. Enjoy while you can. I see there are some nice days during the week again, but we never know what Mother Nature has in store for us. We’ve been pretty lucky so far.
Civic Association Halloween party on Thursday, the 31st, 6 pm. at the Pavilion. Food, fun, prizes. Trick or treat later so if you’d like kids to stop by, please have your porch light on. There are some pretty neat Halloween displays around town.

Happy Anniversary to Marty and Dee Whatley as they celebrate on the 27th. Many more happy days.
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge, add an empty paper towel or gift wrap roll to the end of your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
I think there will still be things going on around the County, so keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book to see what you may be interested in. I know gardens and flower beds are winding down, but I think they did really well this year. If you read Connie Hatch’s or Eloise Caseman’s news, you will find what’s happening. They know a lot more around Sullivan County than I do. You will also get a “kick” out of Eloise’s “joke of the week”.
Enjoy your week. I’m sure it’s a busy time for all, with Thanksgiving and Christmas on the way. October will be gone; seems impossible it went that fast. 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. Have a good week and I’ll be here next time. Thanks for reading.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weather. Did have 6 days of early frost, but warmed up quite nicely by afternoon. More nice days to come. Sure hope this is our Indian summer. I could take this all winter, but I know lots of you love the cold and snow. We will have to wait and see what Mother Nature has in store for us.
Volunteers needed — There will be a work bee at the Pavilion on Saturday, the 26th, at 10 a.m. to prepare the statues for the Christmas display. If you can spare a few minutes, or more, help would be appreciated.
There will be decorating done on Wednesday, the 30th at 5 p.m. to get ready for the Halloween party, which will be held on Halloween night, the 31st, 6 p.m., at the Pavilion. There will be food, prizes and fun. Get your “spooky” outfit ready, or even a “beautiful” one. Hope to see you there. If you can come to either of these work bees, please show up and give a hand.

Did you know you can use Listerine in your toilet to freshen it? If you feel it’s a waste to use so much, spit in a cup after rinsing your mouth, and dump that in the toilet, killing bacteria in two places. It’s not just mouth wash any more.
Hope everyone is feeling good. If not, I send you best wishes to feel better and have a full recovery. ‘Tis the season for sickness and so many viruses seem to be going around.
Take a look when riding around town and see the pretty neat Halloween displays. There will probably be more doing decorating, but so far looks pretty good.
That’s it. Enjoy your day. Weather looks pretty good. 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.

Fall weather is upon us. We had some pretty nice days last week with early morning frosts and warmer temperatures during the day. It got down to 23 degrees and heavy frost on Friday. Guess it’s that time of year. There was quite a thunder storm, with lots of lightning and heavy rain on Sunday. More warm weather on the way, from what I hear. We are very lucky with our weather so far. Pray for those in the southern states that are still recovering from Helene and then got hit with Milton. Will take some time to get everything cleared up down there.

Here’s something for you to try. I know it works as the person who sent it to me tried it. To remove a brown ring from the inside of your toilet, use a wet pumice stone. Rub lightly and it will be removed and leave no scratches. (Thanks, Irene)
Happy Birthday to Bob Burke, 14th; Ken Smith and Josh Anderson, 17th; Marie Cikovic 19th; and Aine Lee McDonald, 21st. Hope you all have a bright, sunny day.
Happy Anniversary to Ted and Fay Puzo, 14th and Kevin and Teri Bullis, 20th. Have a great day.
Get well wishes to anyone who might be feeling under the weather and hope you feel better soon.
Had a nice phone chat with Carole Kilgus. They are all doing fine and enjoying the nice weather in New Holland. She said their trees are just beautiful with color now. Carole said to give her Hellos to all her friends in Sullivan County. She misses being here. She wishes everyone the best days to come.
Keep watch reading the Sully or Face Book. I’m sure there will be more events taking place around the County that might spark your interest. May need a heavier jacket, but nice to do.
Guess that’s it for now. Enjoy your week. I’m hoping it will be nice. Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I’ll get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

Hope you are enjoying this nice Fall weather, even though we did have some rain but some really nice days. The leaves are sure falling off the trees, since it’s been so windy, and the color has been pretty nice in most areas. We are very lucky. Pray for those in the states where Helene did so much damage. Another storm, Milton, is to hit down there again this week. Would be nice if it tracks back out to sea and give those people a break. Devastation is heartbreaking. Will take many, many months to get things back in order. I’ve seen plenty of deer and turkeys lately.

Tyler McGuire, Liverpool, NY, spent a nice weekend with his Dad, Bob Jr. and visited with his Uncle B and Nina Weslowski and also with us. Was a good time. He and I even got to play some ladder golf, which he won every time. It’s not about winning; it’s just fun.
Did you know Listerine has many uses, other than mouth wash? Give your feet a pedicure by mixing Listerine with warm water and a cup of vinegar. Soak your feet for 30 minutes. It’s also good for getting rid of toenail fungus and is good for dry, cracked feet.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for events that may be coming up that you’d be interested in. Let’s hope we get some more nice, warm, sunny weather. Just not ready for what is sure to be coming.
Hope everyone is well and the viruses are staying away. Guess that’s it for now. Enjoy your week. I think it’s to be pretty nice. 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. Stay well, stay safe and see ya next time. Comments always welcome.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Little nippy for three days, with temperatures in the 30’s. Did warm up nicely during the day. Guess we have to expect this since it is the end of August and more cooler temperatures are on the way. The weekend was really nice. I hear rain in the forecast for a few days during the week, but maybe will change and be nice for the Labor Day holiday. The leaves are starting to change color. The flowers are still pretty nice. The gardens are doing quite well.
TIME CHANGE — The fluorescent mineral program at Worlds End will be at 8:30 p.m., rather than 9 p.m. UVBOB will show you how ugly rocks turn pretty when using ultraviolet light. This will be held at the new Amphitheater. Hope to see you there.
Sullivan County fair starts this week on Wednesday, the 28th, and runs until September 1st. Lots for everyone to see and do there. Hopefully there will be nice weather.
Joe and Diane Fanning, along with Molly, spent a few days at their home here. Was perfect weather to get outside chores done and just enjoy there time here.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Wow! We’ve sure had the rain. All week long, some pretty good, some just enough to make everything wet and not being able to do outside work. Along with the rain, we had some pretty dreary days. I see the trees are finally getting some more color and look a lot better than a week ago. Just looking for some warm, sunny days yet. I see the turkeys and deer are out more often now, across the road in the yards. Even saw a fawn nursing as she and the doe were walking along eating whatever the doe found. Was really cute to watch.

Happy Anniversary to Gerry and Paula Weslowski, 1st; and Tony and Donna Cikovic, 2nd. Have a nice day.
Did you know you can boost your laundry by using Epsom salts? Epsom salts, combined with a little essential oil makes a perfect fabric softener. In addition, the salts will help remove detergent build-up from your washer. Mix 4 cups of Epsom salts with 20 drops of your favorite oil. Add 1/4 cup to each load of laundry.
I see there are a lot of pumpkins and gourds around. Will be for nice decorations for the Fall and for Halloween, which I see some have already used to brighten up their yards along with corn stalks and other “spooky” decorations.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for up-coming events. There is still plenty going on for the month of October that you may be interested in. Support your local businesses.
That’s it for now. Enjoy your week and hope for sun. Sun glasses are better than boots. Hope everyone stays well. Some crazy viruses are still going around.
Have news, call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will put it in. Comments always welcome. I’ve had a few nice comments on the tips I’ve been putting in and that’s always nice to hear. Good or bad, I take them all.
POP…Son, this is a road…look both ways before you cross and get off quick. The people have great big machines that go so fast that you could be sent to the ever-never-land.
SON…does it hurt?
POP…YEP
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We had a pretty nice week last week. Lots of sun and nice days after cool mornings. Did have a short thunder storm on Saturday evening. Sunday was a beautiful day. The leaves are really turning and some trees are almost bare. Looks a little drabby for this year. Gardens are winding down and flowers are getting done. I see lots of pumpkins, corn stalks and Halloween decorations in my walks around town. I did see five deer in the cemetery and 15 turkeys. Haven’t seen any for quite a while. The week is to bring us some rain, but that can change. We’ll just have to see what the “good lady” has in store for us. We will take what we get.
Jason Walton, who has a home in Lopez, sent me the following message to share: “I am currently serving on active duty with the Army in the Horn of Africa. I have been in the National Guard for ten years and got called up to go overseas. Will probably be home sometime in July.” We thank him for his service and hope he stays well and safe.
Fill a glass of with warm water, squeeze in half a lemon and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Sip it slowly and let it work its magic. Works best if you keep at it. After a week you should begin experiencing health benefits. Try it and see if it works for you.
Happy Birthday to Ted Beaver, 27th. Have a fabulous day.
Happy Anniversary to Dustin and Sam Burke as they celebrate on the 28th. Have a happy day and many more to come.
Bob McGuire Jr. and Marsha Fitzgerald enjoyed his 40th class reunion on Saturday, held at Hatch House in Towanda. Was a good time for all who were able to make it.

Hope you are enjoying the nicer weather we’ve been having. Cool temperatures in the morning, but does warm up nicely during the day. When the sun goes down, it starts to cool off again. Hope we can have lots more nicer days. The leaves are really starting to turn and some are already off the trees. Finally saw four deer in the field. Hadn’t seen any for quite a while. Haven’t seen any turkeys at all. I think the hummers may have left. Haven’t seen them for days now.
Irene (Huray) Pequignot, Linden, spent Sunday at her home here. Was a nice day to be out and about.
Happy Birthday to Roland Dayton, 21st; Bob Day, 23rd; and Tom Finan, 25th.
St. Vladimir’s Church will have NO pierogies until further notice. I will let you know as soon as I get the ok that they have more for sale.
Did you know if you clean your face with Epsom salts it helps to exfoliate, remove blackheads and prevent acne? Put a teaspoon of Epsom salts in your hand and mix with a little warm water. Scrub your face with the mixture, then rinse clean.
I think there may still be things going on around the County you may be interested in. So, keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book to see what you might like.
Thank you, Connie, for the “razz” about cleaning the dryer filter.
Guess that’s all for now. Enjoy your week. Stay well. Just can’t seem to get rid of these viruses that seem to be always around.

WEBMASTER’S NOTE.:
For those that don’t remember or never knew about, here is the most complete report that I have seen.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Weather sure is getting “iffy” day by day. Had some really good days early in the week. Had some low temperatures; warmed up during the day. Thirty degree temperatures are not to my liking. Had some rain, but cleared up and got nice in the afternoon. Of course, the wind is always with us. Check full weather report from Sam’s Lopez weather, elsewhere in this issue.
Tyler McGuire, Liverpool, NY, spent the Labor Day holiday here with his Dad, Bob, Jr.; Uncle B and Nina Weslowski; and us. Nice time for all. Just too short.

Happy Anniversary to Scott and Susan Aharonian as they celebrate on the 14th. Happy day and many more.
Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 18th, 6 pm. at the Pavilion. I goofed last week and put the wrong date. It is the 18th. Hopefully the weather will be nice enough to meet at the Pavilion. Membership dues are now due. See Kathy Isett, or call her at 610-413-6439 to renew or to join.
Even if you are very diligent about cleaning the lint filter in your dryer, it still may be causing you a problem. If you use dryer sheets, a waxy build-up could be accumulating on the filter, causing your dryer to over heat. The solution to this is to clean your filter with a toothbrush and hot, soapy water every 6 months. (I know I’ll get “razzed” about this one.)
The gardens and flowers are winding down, but did very well this year. Lots to can and freeze for the winter months. The hummers are still here, but probably not much longer. They want to go where it’s warm.
Bob and I enjoyed lunch on Saturday at Alfredo’s Italian Restaurant in Wyoming with some of his school classmates. Food is excellent there and we all had a nice time visiting.
I hear there are to be some more warm days coming. Hope this is true. Don’t like the thoughts of cold weather.
You can still keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for up-coming events going on. There might be something of interest to you. Weather is changing, so dress accordingly.
Guess that’s it for now. Enjoy your week, whatever your plans. 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. Comments always welcome. I had one nice comment from a lady about my hint to put hot water in your cup or spoon before you put your “sticky” ingredient in. Thank you to her. I’m glad I was able to help.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
We had a couple of good rain storms. Some places measured 4 inches. It was windy too. Hopefully, we’ll get some nice weather yet before summer is over.
Hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day Holiday. The Sullivan County Fair was a big draw with lots to see and do. Despite the rain at times, I think everyone had an enjoyable time.
Thank you to Jane Swift, Worlds End State Park, for inviting UVBOB down to do a fluorescent mineral program on Sunday evening at the new amphitheater. There was a nice crowd in attendance. Bob showed how ugly rocks fluoresce under ultraviolet light. The kids all got rocks at the end of the showing. There were a lot of “oohs and aahs” when the lights were put on the ugly rocks and they turned “pretty”.

Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 11th, 6 p.m., hopefully at the Pavilion, weather permitting. Membership dues are now due. To renew your membership or to join, please see Kathy Isett. It costs “one buck”.
With “cooler” weather on the way more steadily, have you had your furnace cleaned for the winter season. Good idea to get it done to be sure all is in working order. So many people seem to think that Mother Nature is going to hit us with a more than normal snowfall and colder weather this year. Sure hope it’s wrong. We will have to wait and see what’s in store for us.
If you seal an envelope and realize you forgot to put something inside, place the envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. It will unseal easily,.
Happy Birthday to Kristin (McDonald) Mensch, 5th; Emilia Williams, 6th; Miles Baton, 8th; and Emerson Brumwell, 10th. Hope you all have a good day.
Thank you to Barb who liked my hint about rinsing hot water in your measuring cup or spoon to easily take out “sticky” stuff when cooking or baking.

Hopefully some nice weather is still on the way. The leaves are starting to change already and some say that’s pretty early this year. There are lots of berries and apples so some think we may have a harsh winter this year. The gardens are doing really well this year. Guess time will tell and we will have to take whatever Mother Nature has in store for us. I see the weather for the week is to be cloudy with a few showers popping up now and then.
Can’t believe that school will be starting on the 22nd already. Please watch out for the kids as they wait for the bus. Gotta get someplace, leave a little earlier than normal. The month will be over with before we know it.
COME ONE! COME ALL! Come to the Worlds End State Park on Sunday, September 1st to see the fluorescent mineral program by UVBOB (Bob McGuire). This will be in the new Amphitheater at 8:30 p.m since it’s outside and has to be dark. He will show you how ugly rocks turn pretty when using ultraviolet lights. Hope to see you there.

Happy Birthday wishes to send out to Gaige Burke; 29th; Gerald Maloney, 30th. Have a very nice day.
Happy Anniversary to Jason and Heather Burke as they celebrate on the 26th. Have a super day.
Before you put sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don’t dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient and watch how easily it comes right out. Spraying the cup or spoon with Pam before using also works.
Keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book for things coming up. The 172nd Sullivan County Fair will be held from August 28th to September 2nd,with Home Talent Night on the 27th. That is always a fun time to see what the local talent has to offer. There will be plenty to see and do from Wednesday on. I’m sure there will be other events also taking place in the County also.
Bob and I attended our last Che-Hanna Rock & Mineral club picnic on Sunday. This was held at the pavilion in Kirby Park, Nichols, NY. Was a nice time for the Pebble Pups and club members to visit, take part in activities and have some good food. Thought we were going to get some bad weather, but it was a perfect day for a picnic. In September we meet at the Athens Methodist Church, 6:30 p.m., if anyone is interested in going to learn about rocks and minerals. Meetings are open to the public. Any questions, call Bob at the number below.
Brian McGuire and Nina Weslowski spent the weekend in New Hampshire to attend the wedding of Nina’s cousin. They also spent time in Boston with her family. Nice time for all and the weather was perfect. Congratulations to the bride and groom.
