Hope you all had a good weekend.  I think we are to get some better weather, which everyone will like.  We were gone over theweekend, but I did hear there was some bad weather on Saturday evening.  Mother Nature has some weird ideas about weather any more and is giving it to us in handfuls.

Thank you to whoever sent me the e-mail about the Memorial Day parade. I did not mention American Legion Post 452, Mildred, and all the veterans who marched that day and they are the most important part of the parade.  If not for them, we wouldn’t have our freedom.  Also, there were the Legion riders from Post 996, Dushsore.  I do apologize and I’m glad you brought it to my intention.

Bob and I spent the weekend in Canadaguia, NY, to attend the Wayne County Gem and Mineral Club annual show where UVBOB did the 5 fluorescent mineral programs for the weekend.  Weather was really nice until Sunday when it lightly rained off and on, but the cleared up and was sunny and warm.  Had an awesome crowd and good time with old and new friends.

HINT:  “Ant trap:  1 part borax and 3 parts powdered sugar. Sugar attracts and borax poisons them.  They will carry it back home and exterminate the colony.    You can also pour a little honey into a shallow dish.  Ants are attracted to the sugar but become stuck and can’t get out.”

Dumpster will be at the Township Building on Saturday, the 8th.

Happy Birthday wishes to Shelly Craig, 1st; Lydia Stasiak, 5th; Lynn Malkemes, 8th; Matt Dayton, 10th; and Sandy Kriel, 14th.  Hope you all have a nice day.
