What an incredible week
of gorgeous weather (and 9 whole days) for our favorite Fryeburg
Fair - thank you up there for this gift. Unfortunately, due to
a nasty sinus infection, I was down all week resting and coughing,
so I’m happy for the rest of you who enjoyed this wonderful
fall tradition. What did everyone think about the nine days?
It is so important for
all of us to document our wishes for medical, financial and the
end of care preferences. Come to the Eaton Town Hall this Thursday,
October 9th from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. to learn about those important
steps we should all take ahead of time. This is part of the Eaton
Age in Place Series, “Advanced Care Planning: Financial,
Medical, End of Life” presented by Lindsay Kafka, a former
elder law and estate planning lawyer, and who is now a registered
nurse with experience in long-term care and home hospice nursing.
Please join us on Thursday,
There is at least one
more Age in Place series on October 23 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.,
“Creating Community in Eaton: Helping Each Other Out.”
This will be a discussion for all Eaton residents to discuss
a plan ahead that allows older residents to age in their Eaton
homes as they age. For further information or if you need transportation
to the series, contact Betsy at betsygemmecke@gmail.com
Our Little White Church
wants everyone to know about the Pumpkin Fest scheduled for Sunday,
October 26th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. We are gearing this to little
kids and will have fun foods for them. Sounds great. More on
this in my next column.
Again at the Little
White Church, the Portland String Quartet, with pianist Laura
Kargul, will perform on Sunday, November 2nd from 4 to 5 p.m.
The program will actually run 90 minutes with an intermission.
Tickets are $25, $15 for children and students 18 and under.
The Portland String Quartet has had an enormous impact locally,
regionally, and internationally since its inception in 1969.
This dedicated group is a non-profit.
From everything I’m
hearing, many people have this cold/sinus problem in Eaton. It
seems to go on and on. I’m on day 5 of a ten day antibiotic
and I’m still not over it. How about the rest of you out
there? I had to miss Candace’s “Stop By for Pie”
on Saturday, and the lovely South Eaton Meeting House Annual
“Thanksgiving” Service on Sunday. With the beautiful
weather I hope we can all get out and walk, breathe in this wonderful
fresh air and maybe all us “sickies” will get better.
Good luck, all.
