Another Great Day!

It's Garbage Day!

There's Sunshine in the Weather Channel Daily Forecast

......... and a bright outlook for the entire LABOR DAY Weekend,
according to WKTV!

"Labor Day" is a holiday that everyone looks forward to, but not many people know what it really represents: read about it HERE.

******************

"Area Soldiers use Leave Time to Sharpen Emergeny Medical Skills" is the title of a brief report on the WKTV website. Here are some details, from Becky Maggio of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Clifford J. Fulmer Post #92 of the American Legion:

(Please click to enlarge!)

"When they said that they needed volunteers to help out with the soldiers' lunches & dinners, we jumped up to the plate!"

Becky also wrote: " Kathy Paré, another auxiliary member and I, will be at WUTR on Monday for the MDA Telethon volunteering to answer phones between 11am and 3pm. At 11:40am I will be presenting a big check for $12,000.00 that I raised for MDA when I did the Lock-Up that they held. Volunteering feels so gooooood.... And it never seems to end."

(Good for you, Becky!)

ALSO IN THE MAIL

This E-note from a blog-reader in California!
"Hi from San Francisco!

If you should happen to see a house for sale (in Waterville or another village with a grocery store) with a wide front door and less than about 2 feet from the ground to the front door's threshold (for easy installation of a wheelchair ramp) could you please let me know? (finder fee available if we buy it.) Thanks in advance. ( Signed) Annmarie Patterson."

At the Farmers' Market, yesterday, in the Park.

It took six hands and expert "supervision" by Norm Tower to put ceiling panels in place!

Gasoline is holding steady at $2.78.9

I'll be getting a full report from my grandson on all of his Summertime fun-stuff and also spending some time on my annual search for the more and more rare Bottle Gentian!



Whatever you do,
Have a really great - and SAFE - Labor Day Weekend, everyone!
