Today dawned bright and wonderful and cool and no
humidity. I did the laundry very early –
you can do that here because most of the people who live in these apartments
are comatose until around noon on Saturday and Sunday. I did see one of the upstairs people go
fishing around 1pm and the lady next door came out to get her mail but the
mailman was having a hard time delivering the mail due to some yellow jackets
that have built a nest in one of the mail boxes. I think they should supply them with hornet
spray for their own protection.
After we got the laundry put away, we left for the YMCA and
we parked our car there and walked down to Hallowell for Hallowell Days
celebration. They advertised a craft
show but it was not a high class thing by any means and not too well
organized. The Coast Guard had two boats
tied up at the boat landing while the yoga people were practicing their moves
on the other end of the boat dock. We
walked the main street of Hallowell and people were lining up at 9am for the
parade that was to start at 10am. We
decided not to stay for the parade and so we walked back to the YMCA and then
drove home.
After lunch, we gathered up our stuff and headed off for the
Primary activity for the children to celebrate the 24th July with
pioneer activities. The little kids all
had a great time while the older folk sat in the shade and chatted. At 5pm they brought out the food and we all
ate and then the numbers dwindled as folks left to go home. The McNaughtons showed me through their home. It is a log home and it looks really really
nice. They said that one drawback is
that the windows leak (air) in the winter and the house is cold and that when
it rains hard, the windows leak water. Other
than that the house is wonderful.
We drove back home through Hallowell and the “joint was
really jumpin’” with a loud rock band playing at the northern end and the smell
of stale frytol filled the air around the fried food vendors down by the boat
dock. Tonight they are set to have
fireworks out on the River.
Today was a great day of healing for me.
