Remembering Mary Anne

 After chores we went to the Newman Center to celebrate the life

of our friend Mary Anne G., followed by a reception at

Springdale Farm.

 It was good to have the opportunity to visit with her family

and friends visiting from New England.

 As predicted, the temperature was outrageous today and so was the humidity.

97 degrees.

A friend who lives 20 miles from here posted the temperature in his

car and it was 101!!!!!

When we got back to the farm it was time to get in front of a fan.

There was a knock on the door late afternoon and these two gentlemen were

here to promote their horse feed.  We must have talked for 45 minutes

and it sounds like they have quality products.  Poulin Grain....I asked if he knew

Larry Poulin, x-Olympic Marathon Driving competitor.  Not related, but he is a customer.  Larry was here many years ago to present a driving clinic in the indoor,

and I also scribed for him at a couple of driving shows in the area.  I had one driving lesson with him (Belgian/Joe) and a riding lesson on Marieke (Berlin's Mom).  Small world.  The other guy had been here many years ago with his father delivering grain, and as a graduate of SUNY Brockport he took many classes from the Creative Writing Prof whose classes I will be attending to present workshops.  So many connections.

 Gary had a meeting tonight and I did not make a regular dinner.

We had a huge lunch after the service and did not need another big meal.

Around 8 I made myself a salad.

Now, I am w a i t i n g for the cool down.

Night all.
