Missing Sodus Well, I guess Summer (Indian or otherwise) is over. We tried to enjoy those last days by going for a walk down by the pier. We even ventured out to the Buffalo Zoo last Sunday. I'm sure when it begins getting really cold here in the North, we'll need those memories to keep us warm. And speaking of nice days, since Sarah gets her baths outside with the hose, we gave her the last one of the season during the warmer days, during the winter its back to the bath tub and water all over the floor.
I had a visit from Eileen Hooper and her Mom over the weekend. They looked really good and had come north from Florida for Eileen's brother's wedding. The wedding was held at his home by the lake, and the
The Girl Scout Troop #39 of the Sodus/Sodus Point Service Unit won their Silver Award in a ceremony in their honor on October 1 at the Bible Baptist Church. This is an exciting award because the Sodus, Sodus Point area has not won this award in twenty years - if not more. The Silver Award is the second highest award in Girl Scouting. Over 60 girls received a badge during the Ceremony. The girls also donated a van filled with food and supplies to the Humane Society. Congratulations, girls, on a job well done . Congratulations also to their proud leaders: Ruth Lennox and Julie Beckens.

visit by Betty and Eileen was a total surprise by many of the wedding guests. (Betty I'm sure they knew about, but Eileen was a different matter.) She brought her photo album and took a picture of Caesar to add to it. Eileen is doing hair for the mannequins at Disney now and enjoying every minute. Betty, who had gone back south to escape our chill, mentioned that where they live, they see hot air balloons floating past their homes every morning and fireworks every evening. 
and Saturday is Buck-A-Bag Day from 10 to 2.
