OUT AND ABOUT

The kindergarten, first and second grades of D W Merritt, Addison Elementary School enjoyed their visit to the Children Discovery Museum in Bangor on Tuesday April 30. Some of them were even on the news that evening.

On Wednesday Mary Alice Look, Roberta Hammond and I were in Machias helping to get the Burnham Tavern cleaned and ready to open for the season. There will be a Mother’s Day Tea on Saturday May 11 in the afternoon from 2 to 4 PM.

On Saturday, I attended the Cherryfield Quilt show held at the Cherryfield Academy building. There were lots of nice quilts and it was hard to choose which one was the best. I choose them all, but alas had to pick one that stood out to me as the best on there. Afterwards I ventured to the small Cherryfield Library to check it out and to see what they had for genealogy material. One of these days I would like to go again and document all that is there. I did take some photos of the inside, to post on Facebook in a couple of groups that I belong to.

On Sunday afternoon, the home of Linda Smith at 490 Ridge Rd on the dike in Addison burnt down. Thank goodness no one was to home but the sad thing is that she had just left this morning to be away for a few months in her camper. Hopefully someone will be able to reach her and let her know what has happened.

Mary Farnsworth our town office assistant is in the hospital, cards would be welcome, her room number at Eastern Maine Medical Center, Bangor, Me is 388.

I have one of those spring colds, which just won’t give up. On these nice days I actually wanted to be outside working in the yard, instead of lying around.
