June 18th – Court Days!

The day started out to be pretty chilly, but I was upstairs in the tavern from 11am until 1pm so I was warm. By the time I started my turn in the food booth it was comfortable. This was my first year working with the food – it was easy, but that crew is – at the very least -entertaining! Great bunch of people.

There were several demonstrations of the militia which were very well done, and court was in session twice. They did six different trials which were well received by those attending. I love the special programs; they are informative and fun and the people are great. Below are some photos that I took today.

When I got home, I changed clothes then cut the grass and trimmed a few straggly limbs from the lilacs by the fence. I noticed that a crew has been working on my neighbor’s tree. Here are the before and after (so far) pictures.

A lot cut out – but not done yet.

June 18 – Where did you go swimming? “We had a deep spot in the little ‘run’ that came through the neighbor’s field. That is where we went to “Splash” in the water. When someone had a car we would go to Little Mahoning Creek. I would ride in an innertube up and down the creek for a hundred yards or so.”

Yesterday’s vacation destination was Apple Valley Ohio and the picture posted was Honey Run Falls. Here are other things in Apple Valley:
