We still had some thundershowers and rain early last week but then the temperatures dropped at night and have been in the sixties during the early morning although during the day it still was in the eighties. The rain that we had has been really good for all growing things and helped to clear the air to help those with breathing problems, I for one appreciate that.

The Lewis County Historical Society will be having a meeting and picnic on August 18, 2022, make your plans to attend. It will be held at the Grinder’s cabin located by Meriwether Lewis’s monument in the park at trace entrance. Time will be 6 pm and bring a chair and your supper. We will be celebrating Lewis’s birthday and will have a guest speaker who will be sharing information on the wall he built which represents all the steps his mother walked on the trail of tears. Come and learn about this and help celebrate Lewis’s birthday.
People have been seeing lots of snakes around the area and some of them being poison, like rattlesnakes and others, not sure why they are moving so much at this time unless it has to do with all the rain we have had. If you are out in wooded or weedy areas, please be careful and be sure children are not out around areas they might be hiding in.
We had a great event in our town last week with the presentation of the new elephant stamp and there were several visitors in town during the ceremony and afterwards. You can now purchase them at the local post office if you would like some.
Wishing that you and your family will have health and happiness during the coming weeks and months. Don’t forget those who are shut-in or sick and cannot get out and visit if you can and if not send cards or make a phone call. This lets them know that someone thinks about them.
