April 24, 2014

We have had some beautiful weather, especially on Easter Sunday. There would be more spring-like days, if the wind didn't blow so hard!! There probably isn't any state in the U.S. where the wind doesn't blow, though.

We received a note from Eugene's sister, Evelyne Zaderaka Scovill, living in Shelby, North Carolina, saying they had frost two mornings last week that damaged the strawberry crop and the peach blossoms. Two of our grandchildren just returned from a school sponsored trip to Washington, D.C. and brought back pictures of the beautiful cherry trees in bloom, saying it was the 'prime cherry blossom season'.

Anyone doing spring cleaning, and others, will appreciate this news. August 1-3 will be the Max Summer Solstice and Jessica Henne is looking for people interested in having a rummage sale in the city wide sales. If you are interested in having a sale this year and would like to get your name on the map, please call her at 679-2256 or email her at henne4u@rocketmail.com. Payment and descriptions will not need to be turned in until mid July but we are looking to make this a HUGE event. There will also be room at the hall and at churches for people that wish to set up a sale but do not have a place in town. We also have vendors interested in setting up so if you sell anything and would like a spot, please let her know! All rummage sale and vendor spots are only $5 to get your name put on the map. Anyone having tables at the hall or church will get a section of 3 tables, and if more are needed then, you will pay for additional sections.

Tomorrow, Friday April 25th, is the Max Senior Citizens' noon potluck and meeting.
