CHAMPION—May 23, 2011

          Again Champion finds itself in the catbird seat, at a decided advantage over the whole rest of the world for tranquility and beauty and good fortune–Champions have no complaints and extend their very best thoughts for those in the storm ravaged parts of the country.  Against the possibility of recurring bad weather, they are checking on their emergency supplies and revisiting their plans for taking shelter.  Phone lines are busy with people checking in on one another. 

          The Denlow School Reunion will take place on Saturday the 28th.   There will be a program starting at 11:30 followed by a potluck lunch.  It is liable to be every bit as much fun as previous years.  This is the 25th such gathering of Denlow alumni, their families and friends and curious bystanders.  Who can imagine what mischief the General and his outfit will have cooked up?  To compensate, Wayne Anderson and friends plan to play in the afternoon out in the gazebo.

          Gardens are flourishing with all the rain…now a few hot sunny days will see things popping up out of the ground.  Weeds seem to grow rain or shine, but they slip right out of the mud with minimal tugging.  Linda’s Almanac indicates that the next fruitful days for planting will be the 26th and 27th.  Haymakers are holding off on their cutting, hoping to get three or four dry days in a row to get their hay in.  It will be so wet and heavy that it may take more time to dry.  It just goes to prove that ‘it’s always something.’

          The something that it is on Monday morning is caution.  “Wait ‘till the sun shines, Nelly,” Champions continue to Look on the Bright Side!
