Residents here want to thank all the gardeners who shared their bountiful harvest with us. It's very much appreciated.
It was reported that seven residents were at the Thursday Coffee Chat hour. I didn't make it again, as I went to Mansfield with my sister Jeannette May to do some shopping. While there we stopped in the Pizza Hut for lunch before heading home.
Wednesday, LaVonne McNett and seven other Canton Garden Club members journeyed to Elkland to view "Miss Emma's" gardens and small buildings. "What an amazing place," LaVonne commented. She said they lunched next door at a quaint small town restaurant. On their way home, they stopped at Martin's Garden Center in Middlebury Center.
When I saw Arlene Quail earlier, she said that she spent Friday through Monday with her daughter, Susan and Tim in LaPorte. On Saturday, they attended a steak cookout at the Sonestown Legion.
Caroline Weightman from Shunk came to visit Arlene on Thursday and brought her a beautiful bouquet of glads.
Irma Earley's daughters, Maxine Shedden and Debbie Elliot had lunch with her on Tuesday of last week. Wednesday, Irma enjoyed the spaghetti at the Midway Restaurant with her daughter, Maxine Shedden. On Friday, Debbie took her mother to check out a few rummage sales after doing their grocery shopping.
Irma enjoyed a ride with Maxine, Sunday. They visited Mike and Brenda Kutz and Denny and Cheryl Gould on the way home after having lunch at the Iron Skillet in Sylvania.
Kathy Temple and her sister Bonnie Vanemon traveled to the Philadelphia area on Friday, after Bonnie finished work, to visit Bonnie's son, his wife and two granddaughters. Kathy says it was quite a chore getting into her nephew's home as he has ten steps and she is still not able to put weight on her broken foot. After getting in however she had a wonderful visit with everyone.
When they returned home, Saturday they stopped to visit with their mother at the nursing home where she resides in Williamsport.
Sunday, Kathy said they continued to work on their wood crafts which they are planning on talking to the Fall Fling in October.
Our condolences go out to Jessie Herman at the passing of her niece Penny Renstrom this last week.
Jessie's nephew, Bill and Mary Graham stopped to see their aunt last week. Jessie said it was good to see them.
Frances Kobbe reported that Steve Bastion drove her to Troy for a checkup with Dr. Husband at the Arnot Clinic, this last week.
Carol Cole wrote this ode for her companion "Micah."
My little dog Micah stays close to me, though he is 18 years old, he is still with me!
He hates summer heat: He loves the snow.
I've been all over the U.S.A. and he was with me all the way!
I know that soon will come his final sleep, and I will sit at his grave and weep.
