Strawberries & cream! What a
match the Wimbledon gentlemen championship it was! Scotsman Andy Murray was the
first Britton to get to the finals since 1938, against one of the most talented
of champions of all times, Roger Federer… Federer prevailed, but Murray gave a
good account of himself… Worth watching!
Independence Day came and went
with all the BBQs, fireworks, red-white-&-blue ornaments and paraphernalia,
pledges of allegiance, Hymns of the Republic and all those good things; pool
parties were great!... Local elections are in about three weeks from now
(August 2nd, I believe)… If you are a registered voter here, get out
and vote; I don’t care who or what you vote for… Vote! Jan and I already did!
Participated on the 5K race for
Van Buren County Home Coming day on July 13th. Of 36 entrants I was
the oldest; so, it was incumbent upon me to look after the youngsters, and bring
up the rear ensuring nobody was left behind (that’s another way of saying that
I came in last!) And it was fun! Went back to the square later in the afternoon
and enjoyed the company of friends/neighbors, some food, and music. Good time!
The rain finally came! It might
have been a little too late for some crops, but it came anyway; gardens, lawns,
creeks, ponds, fruit trees needed the rain! Hopefully now we won’t break any
heat records as many other locations around the lower 48 are forecast to do…
Not too many things worth taking
about regarding Hawks Bluff. We are seeing more houses being offered for sale
in most phases as well as empty lots. No
sale has taken place that I know of… One more case of a water well going disable
on a bluff lot in Phase I… Lots of deer around, does with fawns (many twins),
and one especially handsome 8-pointer buck (still on velvet) that comes to our
stump in the back almost every day…
Now, the recommended book: “The Appeal”
by John Grisham. After a jury in a District Court finds a company guilty of
polluting the area with deadly consequences, the case is appealed to the State
Supreme Court. Plaintiff sets out to buy a favorable verdict…
Last, but not least, food for
thought:
“A
candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”
- Father
James Keller
So, keep on sharing your light, my
friends…
