4 O'clock Sweep

Hot and hazy; nearly 90 degrees on Main Street, and I'm sure that if the brick layers who had been installing pavers in front of Morgan's were anywhere near this little watering hole on Brouillette Road, they'd have waded right in with "the girls."

Perhaps the sidewalk crew would have, too: they've laid forms nearly to the village limits; everyone up to the Zirkles has a sidewalk and driveway pouring progressed as far as the Cole residence. There are still quite a few residents who do NOT have anything but the sidewalk forms and they will probably be parking their vehicles elsewhere, over the weekend.


There was a rumor going round, earlier today, that there is a shortage of concrete and that that was causing a slow down in the paving process, but there was a "cement truck" right in front of Olmstead's Garage. (Only with great discipline do I remember that "cement trucks" - called that ever since I was a child! - do NOT dispense cement! It's concrete!)

I had hoped to have so GOOD NEWS to write about - perhaps that the driveway to the Library is now open - but that's not the case.

Instead, I have some REALLY GREAT NEWS!!!!!!
I spoke, this morning, with a close friend of Army Pvt. John Sigsbee who had talked with him yesterday. John said that he'd be COMING HOME TO WATERVILLE - hopefully within the next few days! He's got a good deal of recuperating to do, but he'll be home for a month and, as we all know, there's no better medicine than family and friends! Best Wishes, John!!!
Welcome Home!
