Then there was Helen Blonquist and Louise and Ward Rees that we don't see often just to name a few. There was a lot of people I didn't know and some that I should know but can't put a name to die face. Anyway, it was a fun time and a delicious dinner for which we thank Spug and Jim for all they do. We will be visiting the Olympic sites the 29th, We leave the Center at 8:20 a.m.. It will probably be cool that early in the morning so you may need to bring a sweater and we have been advised to bring an umbrella for the sun. Kathy Wilde will take our vital signs for us on the 30th, and the Mountain Spirit Heritage Festival is on July 25-27 at the Riverside Campground at Rockport Slate Park. It sounds interesting and something we might enjoy. Our pets are part of our families so I do know how Lita and Wes Fisher must feel. We send our sympathies to them over the lose of their little dog who was run over and died last week.

Now, isn't that something to look forward to? Our gatherings at Seniors were nice this week but what we most enjoyed was the wonderful celebration of Summit Merc's 100th anniversary. That is a long time for a business to stay in one family. They have been and still are the kind of merchant this nation so badly needs. Boy, are we lucky to have them here. The picture gallery was outstanding and so much history. Since I have only been in Coalville for 30 years, it is amazing to me how many buildings have disappeared or changed the use of and the new ones that have gone up during those years.
