The WAJPL Maine trip is fast approaching, get your travel bags ready. Don’t forget to sign up for craft classes starting on June 18. On June 17 we will be welcoming Gerard Friedman from Bell House Fitness.
Our goal is active minds, active bodies and a long, enjoyable life. Yearly services for the local chapels are being scheduled. On July 14, the Mitchell Hollow Chapel will be open with special music and the theme: THINKING BACK.
If you have pictures of family weddings or other activities, please bring to share. Last year, we had to remove several trees, and with your help, we got more done than we were expecting. This year the fund raiser will be for window repairs.
The sills need attention along with shades, etc. Please join us. Sympathy to the families of William (Billy) Matthews , Jerry Cunningham, and the Hoyt family.
Many memorial services for the D Day invasion of Normandy as it marks its 80th anniversary. AS I REMEMBER IT Many of my readers looked up the Nursery Song about the days of the week and told me that we missed Wednesday—This is the day we mend our clothes. While folding the laundry, and during ironing, the items that needed to be mended were put aside to be repaired.
Girls always had their own pocket mending kits as well as a sewing box with needles, pins, thread, needle threaders, and a thimble. There was always at least one darning egg in someone’s kit. Socks with holes in the heels or toes were put over the egg, A heavy thread, or light yarn was use.
