WANTED
A person who may have purchased author Sue Grafton books at the Summer Celebrations book sale at the Library. Please call me and I will have a deal for you.
I have had an ad in the River Press for the last two weeks but did not get a response. I hope that this message will get out to the readers especially visitors, former residents, alumni, and those who live out of state.
FLATHEAD CHERRIES
The report about the cherries was that it was a mad house at last week’s Farmers Market. The pre-orders were not yet filled while the crowd formed a long line. Over 400 lbs. were sold in a short time and some pre-orders did not get their cherries. By the time this paper is published, those people will be eating or will have eaten their cherries. I was also told that the cherries are huge this year. Bon Appetit.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES
Great Gramma was taking care of great grandson who is just a little over 3 years old. He is putting two small teddy bears into a jar. When Gramma asks why he was doing that, he replied “They have to hibernate you know.”
THE COUNTY FAIR
Are you ready? I have been waiting anxiously since Summer Celebration. I never knew what a County Fair was when I lived in Michigan. I am sure there were some but not in the tri-county area where I lived.
I love all the displays, the programs in the evening, and most of all the food that I only allow myself once a year, beginning with breakfast, then lunch, and later supper. It is another three days that I do not have to cook.
I also love helping the Lions Club collect parking fees because I see friends and neighbors that also are enjoying the fair.
After studying the fair book it looks as though there are going to be many additions to the days and evenings events.
So come on down to the fairgrounds with a smile on your face and have a wonderful time. See you there and be sure you tell me who you are because I am not seeing well these days.
CHOUTEAU COUNTY PERFORMING ARTS
The first performance, which is Pub Night, will be a month after the Fair. That will be September 15th and if you liked Johnny Cash you should be there. Actually you should be there whether or not you liked Johnny Cash. Just listening to the Tennessee Three is worth the evening.
By the way! Do you have your season ticket yet? Randy is at the Farmers Market every week with discounted tickets that have your name on it. Be an early bird and get that hot ticket in your purse or pocket. It is a terrific program.
FACE THE STATE
I encourage you to watch PBS Face the State on Sunday mornings and check your menus because it is repeated at other times and days.
A week ago Sunday, the half hour show was about Montana roadway fatalities. If only everyone would “WEAR SEATBELTS” the fatality rate would be almost zero.
I learned to wear my seat belt because of several fatal accidents I heard about. It was reported that if many of those fatalities had their seat belts on they would still be alive. This is a plea statement, please pay attention. I was happy to learn that some of the new vehicles will not start unless the seat belt or belts are not on. Great idea but it will take a long while before all vehicles have that lifesaving idea.
BIRD FEEDER
My Dish satellite is in front of my living room window. Along with a pole that holds a bird feeder. Last year I had a crop of corn growing from seeds that birds knocked out of the feeder.
This year I have beautiful sunflowers growing for the same reason. One day last week my TV did not come on and the message on the screen said that there was an obstruction in front of the satellite connection. I went out to check and found sunflowers growing and covering the dish. I pulled them back and when I returned to the living room the TV had a picture. I hope that I do not have to choose between watching TV and the sunflowers. I know that the flowers would win.
PLEASE GOD BLESS AMERICA, OUR TROOPS, POLICE OFFICERS, FIRE FIGHTERS, AND EMT’s. PROTECT OUT CHILDREN FROM HARM. PROTECT INOCENT BY-STANDERS IN CONFLICT SITUATIONS. GRANT US PEACE.
