Right now we have thunder storms rolling through, one after the other. I'm hearing on the scanner reports of trees down and small fires started by lightning. Just before lunch I heard that the church in Sheffield had a fire. I don't know how bad that turned out to be, but it sounded serious. I think that must be where we used to go for really great chicken pie suppers in the fall when I lived in St. Johnsbury.

After having our refrigerator and phone at camp blasted by a power surge caused by a lightning strike a couple weeks ago - the same one that got Jane Milne's TV and computers, I guess - I hesitate to be working on my computer when there's a storm brewing. I'm scanning pictures from the Ennis family right now and that's very interesting, so I've worked in spite of the scattered thunder and rain. The Ennis family was well known in the area. During WWII, all six of Ora and Jennie Ennis's boys served, and now I have pictures of the family when they were little kids and teenagers as well as the boys in their uniforms. All the boys came home safely. There were six boys and four girls in their family, and they lived on a farm in Marshfield and later in E. Cabot.
