Another really summery day here at Joe's Pond. We went into St. J. this morning for haircuts and it was very warm there. We were glad to get back home. We learned today that the Walden Country Store and Homemade Pizza on Rt. 15 has closed. I haven't been able to reach them by phone, but I was able to e-mail them to express my surprise and let them know we'll miss them. Their pizza was very good, and I enjoyed going in there this spring on Ice-Out business. They sold quite a few tickets for us. Nice people. Mary at Hasting's Store told me this morning they have had the place for sale for a while and since it hasn't sold, they decided to close. They have small children and I guess the restaurant business was too demanding and they wanted more time with their children. Mary wasn't sure where they were going or what they would be doing. She thought Tammy, who worked for them, has gone on to another job.

We still have our own Country Store, though. I'm told Jeff Downs turns out a nifty pizza at the Joe's Pond Country Store, too.

Fred is mowing the lawn this afternoon. It sure grows fast this time of the year. I am trying to get caught up with things here at my desk, sorting through whatever I have completed of the historical society project so I can get the albums back to them for the summer. At this point I'm making lists, indexes, labels and putting finishing touches on whatever I can that's finished. It will be good to get the boxes and albums out of here so I can move around in my limited space again.
