Weather-wise, we’ve been having some pretty nice days.  Supposed to be warm again for the week.  I’ll take it.  Did have quite a rain and wind storm on Sunday evening; didn’t last long.  I’ve heard all kinds of predictions for the winter, so guess I’ll just have to wait and see what we get.

HINT:  “Prolong the life of your flower bouquet by adding 2 Tbsp. white vinegar and 2 Tbsp. sugar to the water. Change this mixture every couple of days to help provide the nourishment that cut blooms need.”  (I’m trying this as I just got a beautiful bouquet of flowers and want them to last for a while.  Thanks, Pat, and I’ll keep the other hint for another time.)

I’m sure there are other activities going on around the County, so keep an eye on The Sully to find out what, when and where.

Guess that’s the news for this time.  Enjoy your week; if it’s to be as nice as predicted, it’ll be great!!  Get out and take advantage while you can.   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.  I’ll be here next time and thanks for reading.  Keep those hints coming.
