Juneteenth 2023

I was watching for the mailman all afternoon until I realized that today was now a legal government holiday! No mail today – and a lot of people were enjoying a day off.

I did work this morning at both stores – surprisingly there was something to do at each. I stopped and got gas for the car, then came home to find Kelly and the boys here already. We had lunch, went for a few groceries, made zucchini bread and mixed up icing, then the boys had their homeschool end-of-year certification. They are now official! School’s out for the SUMMER!!

My neighbor (who has the antique cars) was out mowing, so I was able to catch him at his break and arrange for Logan to go over tomorrow. If it’s not raining he’ll take him out; if it is, they will just explore from inside the garage. The garage in itself is a very neat place! I hope to have photos to share later.

In the meantime, here are the photos (as promised) from Friday night’s 95th anniversary social at West Overton Village. We really had a nice time.

When I went to leave for home, I realized I was in trouble. There was a FORK in the road! Which way should I go! 🙂

But it was a very interesting, informative, historic evening, and hearing Pam read her book, and then purchasing a copy, was such fun! It would be a nice place to volunteer….
