These Brownies can really sing! After a gooti nigb's sleep, we spent the morning hiking, somotimes finting ourselves kniee deep in poison ivy.

Welcome t0 spring, and a rallier wonderful one its been, these past few weeks, with just enougli rain occasionally to make everything grow, and enougli warm sunshine to ensure that 1 had to mow the lawns regularly. As most of you are aware, Lynne was away visiting friends andi relations in England andi Scotland, (andi apparently freezing in the process?) but as usuai she was adament about going - so be it. She is back home again now, (wiser andi poorer financially) s0 once more V've started living again, (rather than existing). But to regress four or five weeks. The sign at the entrance to our village that stateti that "Orono is a gooti place 10 live" is s0 true. I can verify that statement, for during the past month durmng my sojourf as an enforceti "bachelor", my neiglibours (goti biess theni), who must surely bc some of the best I have ever known, kept me company, and plieti me with some excellent meals. I ar nfot the best cook in the world, (but possibly thme best "gourmand"). However I doubt 1 would have starveti, for Lynne packed the Fridge and freezer with food before leaving, but the friendly smniles conversation andi wonderful hot meals astounded mie. I arn prouti to say, 'Thank You", one and ail, for making my rallier Ionely month a lot more bearable. Your friendship and thouglits wîll flot be forgotten. Anything else 1 wanted t0 say this week would sound mundane to me now, so to everyone, have a good spring, and a happy summer. I have learned the real meaning of that old quotation which states - 'It's flot what you know, but who you know!" Happy Summer, Just George Deny lote.ry ticetsales The Town of Newcastle has denied the issuance of a licence to the Great Pine Ridge Kinsrnen and the Great Pine Ridge Kinettes to undertake the sale of Break-Open Nevada lottery tickets.
