RAIN, RAIN and more RAIN during the week, with lots of thunder and lightning.

Made it hard to do yard and garden work.  Saturday was perfect weather for the

White Ash picnic as the rain held off until the picnic was pretty much over.  Not

so nice for Sunday when we attended our Che-Hanna R&M picnic, held at

Saterlee Creek Park.  It was cold, windy and rainy most of the day.  We still

had a nice crowd.  Food was good, visiting was nice and games were fun.

Hopefully this week will be much better.

St. Vladimir’s ethnic food community picnic will be held on Sunday, August

1st, at the Church Hall from Noon to 4 p.m.  See posters all over and Face Book

announcements.  They also have pierogies for sale the first and third Sunday of

the month at the Church Hall, from Noon to 1 p.m.  Call 570-928-8909 to order

yours.

TJ, Alison, and Jase Lowden, along with Wesson, Marlton, NJ, spent a few days

at their home here.  They also visited his parents, Ted and Mary on Maple

Terrace.

B’s Gang wishes a Happy Birthday to Billy Stasiak on the 23rd.  Hope it’s

a good day.

Here’s something to keep in mind when bitten by mosquitos:  Spray the

area with peroxide to open site mark.  Dip finger in Vicks (only), the in salt,

the more the better.  Rub area vigorously.  Will help heal the bite and there

will be no itching.  “They” say this works.  Try it and see what you think.

Guess that’s it.  Enjoy your week.  Should get some nice weather,

along with more rain.  Have news call me at 570-928-9238; mail me;

see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com., by 6 p.m.

on Sunday evening.  I will get it in for you.   Thanks for reading and

I’ll be here next time.
