I squeaked out one more day of shorts, T-shirt and sandals last Sunday. Felt nice but I have a feeling it might be the last.
I stopped by the Summit Community Center Inc. Autumn Fest and decorated a pumpkin and had an ice cream sundae. Photo of Ilda Schneider, Barbara Iwinski, Lani Saj and Carolyn Zimmerman. Ilda, Lani and myself won Dunkin Donuts gift certificates for best costumes.
Summit town highway department has been mowing the sides of the roads and they have finished mowing the abandoned cemeteries. Now that the Eminence cemetery is mowed I went there to place an American flag at War of 1812 veteran Jeremiah Ham's gravestone and cleaned the stone some. A resident of Charlotteville emailed me that she had always wanted to check out Snook Cemetery (corner of Charlotte Valley and Lutheranville Roads) and was able to after the mowing. She complimented who ever did the clean-up so I told her who it was.
