Hello All,

Another nice weekend. Internet in and out so couldn’t get column done.

Sunday

Sadly a fire has consumed an old chicken house early this morning. It was used for hay storage at Nonie Larrabee’s place on Abbott Road here in town. For those not knowing, she is Clayton Larrabee’s widow. Thankfully they saved the horse barn next to it. Many fire departments were there to assist.

A horse show is going on today at the ring nearby as I write this. Thinking of the family and Nonie.

Scams

Many scams out there. A good friend was scammed when a hacker got into her laptop and said they were from Microsoft and needed a $500 gift card to rid her of hackers.

Just saying

Happiness is the new rich, Inner peace is the new success, Health is the new wealth, Kindness is the new cool. There are times when a simple hug or touch are worth more than a million words spoken. Be Kind.

Until next week,

I hope everyone enjoyed the Labor Day weekend. Schools are back in session. Be careful. people are still passing stopped school buses, sadly. Some folks have the COVID virus. Be well, all.
