<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Wow, Saturday's weather was <u><i>fantastic</i></u> for the downtown
clean-up day! Quite a few folks showed up to pitch in where needed
including a pretty large 4H group, a cub scout troop led by Phillip
Hawthorne, Helen Scott and daughter Rochelle, Sheryl Marmon, Terry
Haynes, Pres. Smith and family, my daughter Destiny and her friend
Melissa and myself, and various other citizens. A lot was accomplished
all up and down Main Street, and poor Sheryl even has the scars to
prove it! I was working under the supervision of Mike Mooney, mainly
as a weed puller right around the Chamber of Commerce office, which was
pretty enjoyable. I had to laugh this morning though as my daughter
was trying to learn a bible verse for a church project that started out
something like, "Though the grass may wither and the flowers fade
away..." I finished it for her with, "Weeds go on forever!" I know
that's not the real ending, but anyone who gardens or potters with
plants will appreciate the truth in it. I feel like I pulled up about
a million little weedlings and I know that after Saturday night's rain,
about a million more will sprout up to take their place, (and probably
be hardier for having more room to grow!) After the clean up day
project was pretty much done, the volunteers were treated to a great
hamburger lunch courtesy of the Main Street program and the OSU
Extension Center. Good job to all who participated! <br>
<br>
After that little project was wrapped up, I went on over to the PAWS
adoption day set up in front of Roy's. We were able to find homes for
about a dozen dogs in all and received several dollars in donations,
which always helps with the vet bills, etc. <br>
