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.

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 440-645-9719 or 732-221-2803.

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.

Well, guess that’s it for this time.  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.
