What a week I just went through and I'm glad it's over! Meeting, doctors' appointments, luncheon and the RAIN . As one of the doctors said, it's a good week to catch up on appointments since it is so lousy outside. I almost caught up on my lawns, but now have to find a nice sunny day to start again. The rhubarb loves it, asparagus not so much.
What a difference a day makes! Monday came and it was such a beautiful day. Lawnmowers humming all over the place. Today, Tuesday, I had to stop working on my garden to make sure I got this done. Hurry before the next round of storms.
Don't forget to stop in at the Ashland Community UMC Chicken BBQ this Saturday, May 31rst. Take out only. 2 - 6. ½ chicken only $10, $16 dinner includes ½ chicken, baked potato, coleslaw, baked Beans, pickled carrots roll and brownie. Also selling Joyce's pickled carrots $5/ container.

Sympathy and prayers to the family of Lowell Vining who passed this week.

AS I REMEMBER IT
I've been cleaning out papers and stuff since the rain negated working outside. I found a box containing old newspapers, and of course, I had to go through each paper to see why it was saved. Maybe a mention of one of my boys, maybe a mention of me when I was younger. I think about my mother and aunt who had scrapbooks full of clippings and old greeting cards. Sometimes the entries were just random. A story from around the world interspersed with local news. Judy was surprised to see her picture on one of the pages for an award she won in High School. On a separate page was an article about Gary Layman with whom she graduated. But, they were actual newspaper articles, saved for posterity.
We now have the paper on our computers. Nopthing to cut out and pass on. Even if you print out the article it still doesn't have the same import as being cut out and saved.
I feel we are losing a large part of our history. We can Google information, but jit never seems as pithy as something that has been found in an old newspaper that was put away for whatever reason.
