Missing Sodus
Have you seen Ruth Lennox lately at the Kraft Shack? She works there now and loves it. Just think of the ideas for Scouts she can come up with. There will be a Dog Show at Sodus Point this weekend. The agility portion of the show will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the obedience competition at 10. A chicken BBQ will be going on at noon, so you can have lunch after watching the dogs do a great job.
The Hooper children, now living in Florida, have already begun school for the year. (This year, they had a short summer vacation. Next year, things will work in their favor.) They all seem to like school so far, but no one is ever ready for those early mornings and, of course, Homework! (I'm not looking forward to getting up and standing out by the road before sun comes up myself. A special light should go on just as the alarm clock goes off, and a tape of birds singing happily couldn't hurt.) Melanie Pike has a new job as Teaching Assistant in the Primary School Library. Congratulations! Speaking of the Pike's , they will be having their annual garage sale this weekend. Melanie tells me this one is huge, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop in and see what treasures you can find. Even though the Summer Reading Programs are finished for the year don't forget to keep reading. We have some great ones to try: It's Not Fair by Anita Harper

This
week's weather has been really nice, hasn't it? I got my cast off last Tuesday. I told my
kids and niece that they would either here a loud 'YES' as I came out, or whimpering.
Fortunately, it was the first one. 
Claire and Graham Dickson were coming from
Wolcott and saw the fire at the Church the other night . Graham said he saw three fire
companies on the scene, but was told five were called. I am always amazed at how
frightening watching a fire can be - it's too interesting not to watch yet scary.
While in Sodus, we watched the fire company burn what was left of Janet's Ceramics place.
From time to time, firemen practice on designated buildings. (I know there's a term for it
- one reason why I can't be a fireperson, fear is another.) When we drove past it, I was
surprised that, even though it was far from the road, the heat from the flames was so
intense. Many emotions and thoughts run through your head as you watch in awe. 
My dogs are in bed, so everything is finally quiet
around here. I got them those pig ears, which they love to eat and fight about. The
growling, snarling and stealing that goes on between dogs is unreal! And they both get an
ear of their own! (Must be good! )
