Early morning walk felt refreshing! I decided to have breakfast then clean the house before my shower. Did some notary work for a friend about 1pm, finished cleaning and laundry, and then got a shower and ready to go. It was the volunteer appreciation picnic for Hanna’s Town.

The picnic was catered by Gianilli’s – salad, chicken, veggies, noodles. One of the volunteers brought a big bowl of broccoli salad and that was my favorite. There were cookies and also the cake from Oakmont bakery. I know everyone raves over their confections — but I thought the cake was just ok. I wasn’t a fan of the icing and the cake was just cake. Not impressed. But then, I’m the exception, not the rule, I think!

Cake was really pretty!

Pictures are: Bruce in the blue shirt at the end of the food table. Lisa by the cake. Joanna pushing her hair out of her eyes. Everyone had a nice time visiting, and Lisa and Joanna thanked everyone for their hard work. So many volunteers who love what they do!

On the way home I snapped a quick picture of the courthouse. It’s so pretty lit up at night.

Courthouse in pink!

On this day in 1504 Michelangelo’s statue of David was unveiled; in 1892 the Pledge of Allegiance was first published and in 1952 Ernest Hemingway’s “Old Man and the Sea” was published. In 1960 ‘Psycho’ was released nationwide; “The Monkees” were chosen, with Davey Jones already cast. In 1966 Star Trek debuted, and also the TV show Tarzan debuted. Hillary Brooke (My Little Margie TV show star) was born in 1914 (I loved that show!!) – She was Margie’s father’s girlfriend…; Peter Sellers (Pink Panther fame) in 1925, and Patsy Cline (‘Crazy’ and ‘I Fall to Pieces’) was born in 1932.
