Our Hometown

What a great week to get into the dirt of the garden (or just enjoy the fact that there is no shoveling to be done). That always makes me happy! Our duck couple hasn't been seen in a few days. The other day, Mother duck and her duckings - all eight of them - went waddling across the backyard yesterday. I went for the camera but, for little waddlers, they move pretty fast. With bomb scares all over, I'm sure everyone involved with school can't wait for summer vacation to come. Monday, Brockport and Spencerport schools had many students stay home and, later in the week, it was my son's turn. I went back and forth in my mind and decided to play it safe. A friend of my son's wrote him an e-mail telling him how scary the bomb scare in Sodus school was.
Condolences to Eileen Hooper's family on the loss of her Grandmother, she will be missed. Eileen's mom is back from Florida and soon the Hooper family - Eileen, Doug, Bobby, Susan and Brian will be living in sunny Florida (to be rejoined by her Mom in the fall). No more shoveling for them.
www.co.monroe.ny.us/health/hottopics.html Speaking of Alice Clark, wish her and husband Doug a Happy Wedding Anniversary on May 25. My son was invited to a birthday party at Lazer Quest on Sunday where he met up with some of his friends from the Church of Epiphany. It was nice to see people from Sodus. We stopped to chat with Cory Ginette and Lori Thurston for a few minutes. Hope the teen group from Sodus had as much fun as my son did. Sarah had another training class this week. She's getting better. I'm sure she finds it unfair that the children get a Frosty treat after she has done all the work, sitting and staying, up and down. (Usually it's her tail and tongue that never stop, but when you pull into a fast food place her nose goes wild!)
Enjoy your week and remember to send me special dates and events. Let me know what you've been up to. Copyright © 1999 |

Missing Sodus
I was in the Sodus Primary School the
other day and impressed by the extra steps they are taking to make the school safer. I
signed in, got my visitor's tag and went about taking pictures of the creative artwork
done by the students. Many friends of my daughter came out of the library telling me how
much they miss her. Mrs. Southwick was having a birthday Sunday and there were signs all
over the school. They were in the hall, on her classroom door and even outside. (It's
tough to get older in that school.) If the signs hadn't been all over I wouldn't even have
known. Great advertising. Happy Birthday.
While living in Sodus, Alice Clark and I
went around with a petition trying to get something done about the lack of information and
phone numbers available in regards to rabid animals. The concern was over a sickly cat
that had been found and the steps that should be taken to protect the children of the
neighborhood. In the newspaper this week, there was a case of a Perinton boy who had been
bitten by a rabid raccoon. The news article included a web site:
DeFisher's have a large assortment of
flowers this year. While I was in the area, I bought quite a few. (I always have my
flowers decided until I get to a greenhouse and find so many types and colors. (I must
say, Char, my boxes do look nice.)
