It Doesn't Flood

Last Monday morning during the same time period, it poured for about an hour in Summit, there was a short thunderstorm in Cobleskill and no rain at all in Middleburgh, crazy. Then the rain continued for two more days.

Years ago I asked George Haslun what he liked about living in Summit; he said “it doesn’t flood.”

Went to my granddaughters Girl Scout flying-up ceremony going from Daisies to Brownies for Troop # 5613 of Cobleskill. The troop is a combined troop of Daisies, Brownies and Junior Girl Scouts lead by Kim Hoop and Amanda Sword. Photo of the troop.

Had a nice time at the Fulton Historical Society covered-dish picnic in West Fulton.
