I hope you all had a
nice Labor Day Weekend and were able to spend it with family
and friends. On Sunday I did venture as far as Walmart, but didn’t
drive anywhere near North Conway. Is anyone going to enjoy driving
around on Rte. 16 next week with hardly any people from other
states driving around? Ah, peace and quiet will be the norm,
I hope. Now that the kids are back in school, please be very
careful driving around the towns and watch out for all the kids
crossing the roads and waiting at corners. I’d like to wish
all the kids and teachers the BEST of LUCK for this to be a fun,
safe, exciting, and great learning experience.
PIE? Is there anyone
out there who doesn’t crave pie and coffee together? Well,
Candace Maher has really good news for you: Save the date! Come
join us at Snow Brook Creations (17 Stewart Road in Eaton) on
Saturday, September 11th from 10 to 2 for STOP BY FOR PIE. This
is our second SBFP event and will include an Open House at the
Snow Brook Creations Art Gallery as well as various art projects
for attendees. Of course, there will be lots of pie, delectable
I’m sure, and our barista Michael will be serving various
types of delicious coffee drinks.
Snow Brook Creations
features paintings, cards, framed prints, 2022 calendars, tiles,
and more. The children’s book and coloring book “What
If?” will also be available. Masks will be required inside
the store. Unvaccinated attendees will be asked to wear a mask
inside and outside. We hope to see YOU there! Did I mention “pie”?
The Eaton Village Store
has set their store hours for the fall: Monday through Friday,
the diner will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The Store
itself will be open until 6:00. On Saturday, the diner/store
will be open from 7:00 until 4:00 and closed all day Sunday.
The Post Office will continue to be covered while the store is
open. Also, please, if you order many packages, come down sooner
rather than later to pick them up, as the Post Office is very
small. Thank you.
As I scan Facebook and
the Internet in general, I’ve been noticing many reminders
of the tragic events on September 11th, 2001. We must NEVER forget
the sacrifices made and the lives lost that horrid day. So many
people’s lives were turned upside down and after 20 years,
some have not quite recovered. This weekend, please say fervent
prayers that this year the day will be safe here in the USA,
and all over the world. Remember the lives lost, thank all the
people who came to the rescue, and a huge thank you to all Veterans
who have played such an important role to bring peace to our
world. Amen.
