I never saw so
many people in the Mansion concerned about the
weather during the first week in June. Then I
realized the level of concern was because
Saturday, June 5, was “Olde Time Fun in the Park.”
Of course they should be concerned. Rain would
force all the activities inside. I scurried about
trying to help volunteers get things organized to
take to the park. This year was going to be extra
special because we were sponsoring an Alex’s
Lemonade Stand, the donations from which would go
to pediatric cancer research. Read

Spring is here
and there are stirrings throughout the Mansion.
Windows are being washed, rugs cleaned and walls
painted. There is something about spring that
makes me think of new beginnings. I am actually
feeling guilty about not participating in all of
the activity. Why waste a beautiful day like today
inside? I think I will venture into the garden and
see what is happening there. Perhaps there is
something to entice my many talents.

What fun I have
been having! The snow shoes in the attic certainly
encouraged me to get out and about. The funny
thing is that the few pedestrians along Ninth and
Main did not seem to be as pleased as I was about
the current weather conditions. The pristine,
white blanket of snow conjured up images of
skating on the farm pond, sledding down hills, and
ending the day roasting chestnuts in the
fireplace. I just wish I could share with these
passersby how winters used to be!

My what a large
group in the meeting room! I think I will stay
here in the fireplace and just observe. Now at
closer look I recognize many of our visitors. This
must have to do with tours for students because I
see so many of our volunteers; however, today they
are not dressed in Colonial costume. There is a
woman whom I have never seen before. She is laying
out colorful skeins of wool, gorgeous woven cloth
and even some sheep’s wool. Now she is talking to
the group and demonstrating something I have not
seen in many years. This could be very
interesting. I think I will stay and be part of
the group.
