Il ne pleut plus! Okay,
English, Nancy. Yes, it is no longer raining, and everyone must
be as happy and thrilled as I am. What a treat to see and feel
the sunshine all around, and we deserve it. The flowering trees
are fragrant and lovely to look at, and our daffodils are doing
great. Enjoy the spring weather, the sunshine, and try to ignore
the bugs.
Thankfully, the flooding
we had in Eaton has subsided, and they have fixed up the road
near the church. Across from Camp Waukeela, as always, the lake
floods over into camp, but this year the road is torn up. Good
luck to anyone who has had to deal with the floods. Last Monday
I needed to go to Center Ossipee and Rte 153 was closed, so I
went over Gline’s Hill Road. Other than a few washed out
driveways, the road was perfect.
The Eaton School Board
will be making an important decision in June regarding the educational
future of our students and our relationship wit SAU 9. We encourage
Eaton residents to attend the May and June Eaton School Board
meetings to become informed. The School Board will meet on Monday,
May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Eaton Town Hall.
Where did you spend
the famous Cinco de Mayo last Friday? Judy and I had a delightful
taco meal at the Snowvillage Inn, and were able to enjoy the
delicious flavors and reminisce with friends. Thanks, Jen and
Kevin, and Chef Josh, and all the waitstaff for being so welcoming.
I heard they had a big celebration at Traditions at Purity Spring
Resort, right down the road. Way to go, Peter Dow, on your salsas.
Oh, and I’d like to wish Marylou Dow a Huge Happy Birthday
as well.
I heard that the concert
last Friday, our first one of the season at the Little White
Church, was very good and most entertaining. Pianists Mark Rossnagel
and Will Bristol, played a program entitled “Bach and His
Admirers” featuring works by J.S. Bach, Chopin and Rachmaninoff.
I’ll get the next few dates down for the upcoming LWC concerts,
so that you can plan ahead and enjoy our beautiful church.
Congratulations to some
Eaton students for making the 3rd quarter KHS Honor Roll: freshman
Guillermo Chavarria Burns for High Honors, and sophomore Cameron
Fusco for Honors. Please forgive me if I missed anyone; just
let me know.
Well, if you can hold
on another week (we pray), the Eaton Village Store and Crystal
Lake Eatery will hopefully be opening. Congratulations to Maggie
Flynn and Jimmy Yamartino for grabbing the reins to give our
favorite breakfast/lunch menu back to us. I have already told
them that I take an iced coffee in my special mug from Terry
Head, with mocha flavoring. So many of us and especially Carol
and myself, want the store filled with people eating and laughing
together after being somewhat “stuck” in the Post Office
for a month, that it seems like forever. Please come on in for
a meal and a chat as soon as they get all the licenses and inspections
done. This is our favorite store, right? GO MAGGIE AND JIMMY!
