        Hope you all enjoyed your hot, humid weekend.  Had a little rain, but I don't think it even gets in the ground, it's so dry.  More is predicted, but it seems it goes around us most of the time.  On our way home from Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, late afternoon, we weren't yet to Lesterville and we had a bear cub cross the road in front of us.  Seems he/she was alone; we didn't see any others.
        Happy Anniversary, from her family, friends and neighbors, to Rev Mother Christophora as she celebrated 24 years as Abbess of Orthodox Monastery in Ellwood City.
        Jim and Barbara Craig, Media, spent a few days at their home on Church Street.
        Catherine (Charnik) Sokolski,born in Lopez,18 May 1913,passed away last week.  Her niece, Diane (Charnik) Fanning, mentioned this to me.  She visited Lopez many times to visit her brother, Frank, on Church Street. She had lived in Albany, NY, but recently was in hospice care in Philadelphia.
    Dick and Adel Bradshaw, West Chester, enjoyed a few days at their home on Church Street. 
    Get well wishes to David Underwood, Melbourne, FL, who recently had surgery.  He's coming along well and hope he continues to recover.  He is the husband of Carole (Fedorchak) Underwood.
    Toni, Patti and Anthony Sneidar, and friend, Declan Fowler, Philadelphia, spent Wednesday to Sunday at their home here.
    Here's a tip from a friend:  "Microwave garlic cloves for 15 seconds and the skins slip right off."  (I don't use garlic much, so don't know if this works.)  Guess it did for her, so try it next time you want to peel your garlic.
            Some up-coming birthdays to mention.  Happy birthday to Scherril Dayton on 4 August; Kitty Maximiak, the 5th; and Gene Weisbrod, the 7th.   Have a great day!
            Happy Anniversary to Jerry and Carole Jacques on 3 August, as they celebrate 37 years. Congrats.  Jim and Darlene (Paige) Faulkner celebrate 26 years on the 4th. From your "younger" cousin, have a nice day. 
        This is another tip someone sent me.  Don't know if you'd put the vodka on your head or in your mouth, but it's something to try:  "Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo.  The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair."
            Bob McGuire is looking for a good picture of the Lopez pajama factory.  If you have one, please contact him at the info below.  He has a couple photos that he's not really pleased with, so is looking for something better that you may have in your album, etc.
            Guess that's the news for now.  Enjoy your week, whatever your plans.  Should be pretty nice.....even hot and muggy again.  Don't "sweat" it; pretty soon, it'll be "too cold".  Have news, call me at 928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at uvbob@epix.net.  I'll get it in for you.  I'll be here next time and thanks for reading.

        Well, we've been having some HOT weather, but not as bad as some

areas.  Our friend, Tom, from Sunbury, said they had 107 for a couple of

days.  So.............we don't have it quite as bad.  We did have a little rain, but

not much to really do any good.  I guess we'll take this weather.  Pretty soon

it will be so cold, we'll wish we had some of the heat back. 
        Got a message from John Borick.  He recently found his copy of "100

Years of Pride".  He said he re-read it from cover to cover and thoroughly

enjoyed it again.  Said, "a good job done". 
        Get well wishes to Sally Coleman who is a patient at Geisinger Hospital.

She's had major surgeries and we sure hope she's on the road to recovery.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her that she feels better and will be home

soon.  We also have Jerry in our prayers as he is by her side daily. 
        Adel Bradshaw, West Chester, is spending some time at her home on

Church Street.  Last Wednesday night she had a visitor.  Mr. Bruin almost got

in on the back porch.  When Adel heard a noise and went to check, there he

was.  She yelled at him and slammed the door and he retreated and went over

the hill to the creek. 
       Thanks to Jerome Pedro and "crew" for donating their time to pour concrete

and do work at the Pavilion.  Gene W., Jerome, Ed and Bud organized the

project and there were 15 or so people who volunteered their time to do this job.

The weather was hot and they worked most of the day to get it completed. We

say, "Good job, guys, and it's much appreciated!!" 
        B's gang says CONGRATULATIONS "Navy" for being selected Chief Petty

Officer. 
        Tyler McGuire, Harveys Lake, spent Sunday to Thursday with his

grandparents, Bob and JoAnn McGuire.  He enjoyed going to the creek to find

crayfish, playing and visiting.  He also liked watching dinosaur movies. 
        Happy Anniversary wishes to Jerry and Sally Coleman as they 

celebrated 36 years on the 19th.  Congratulations and many more to 

come.  Your friends in Lopez wish you both well.

       Old Home Day is fast approaching.  Mr. Marek will have Country Store.  So, if you have unwanted items, please contact him at 928-8654 to make arrangements.  Baked goods and produce also accepted.
        Here is another "cute" tip from a friend:  "A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button."
        Now I'll give you a better tip of the week:  "Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.   Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking."  Don't know if this is true or not.  Try it next time you go to buy peppers.
        Next Civic meeting will be Tuesday, 17 August, 7 p.m. at the Pavilion.  Mark your calendars now so you don't forget.
        I guess that's the news for now.  Enjoy your week, whatever you may do.  Have news call me at 928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at uvbob@epix.net.  I'll get it in for you.  I'll be here next time and thanks for reading.
