Missing Sodus
We were in Wayne County this past week, taking Sarah to the Vet in Lyons. I stood at the desk waiting patiently. When I turned around, there were many normal-acting dogs lying on the floor or sitting (probably dreading their turn, hoping they were not next). Our dog felt that she doesn't sit on the floor at home, why should this be any different. She sat on the couch in between the kids - just as tall as they are. She wanted to play with a small boy who came in and her tail knocking against the wall could be heard from across the room. (It'll be nice to pick her up. The house is just too quiet!)
Al Dobbin's little leprechaun made a surprise visit with some homemade cookies. (Hope you enjoyed them, Al.) We also made stops to Lill Burkholder's, the Pike's and Hooper's - dropping off peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies everywhere we went. (We don't want anyone to forget about us, now do we?)
On our ride through Sodus Point we found many people working on the buildings at the beach park - sweeping and painting, getting ready for the summer activities to begin. Speaking of getting ready for summer, Mrs. Gravelle of the Williamson Library is coming up with some fun ideas for the summer reading program. During the summer programs, there are always fun activities, story hours and entertainers. The program will begin in July and will go through the middle of August. I'll let you know more later. Don't forget story time with Mrs. Coombs at the Sodus Library on Monday Mornings at 10:30. It's a nice way to spend an hour.
Well, I'm off to count the handprints on my door (the kids had the week off, you know). Let me know how you kept your kids occupied, I'll need to know for Summer vacation. Thanks to everyone who has written and kept me updated on things that are going on in the area. A special thanks to Mrs. Gravelle at the Williamson library who has supplied me with a schedule of events that will be happening soon. And Al, when do those blossoms come out on the Rose of Sharon bush? We won't be able to keep up on it's progress this year (but I took a photo of it last year). I'm looking forward to hearing from you all. Write me Have a nice springtime week. (Editor's note: Melissa, the forsythia is just barely in bloom and all my tulips aren't open yet! Stop pushing for the Rose of Sharon - when mine blooms, summer's almost over!) Copyright © 1999 |

This week has been extremely quiet - perhaps the
transition from one season to the next. People are relieved spring has finally sprung.
While in Wayne County, we drove around and found many
houses being fixed up, including one of the Bed and Breakfasts in Sodus Point. We found
many people doing the necessary yard work. We, of course, took the opportunity to stop and
visit (but are not, however, to be blamed if you didn't get as much done as you had
intended).
On the way back to Sodus from Lyons, we saw the Olgin's new house. Seline and
Gary Olgin of the Olgin Christmas Tree Farm have built a pretty, new house on the lot - a
little further back from the original one. Looks really nice.
Grandpa's and the Corner Market are getting ready for
the season with flowers and their wooden selection of benches and swings.
In our travels, we visited the Hooper family - chit-chatting while the kids
did what kids always do outside. Eileen has a new job working at Wal-mart in Newark. Don't
forget to say hi when you're in the store.
