You might have noticed the work going on down by the Cluster Pines project. This am I chatted with a couple who are members of the Friends of Fawnskin for an update. They said that the trucks are engaged in clean-up and correction of damage done in that area. The ruling has not been made so the work is not related to building the project. However, sources say if the judge rules in favor of the Friends of Fawnskin it will set a huge precident and is anticipated to affect projects across the nation.
Amazing how this little town manages to get into some big stuff.
On the note of “big” –remember the Dunkin’ Donuts? Our Fawnskin dieter gave up on the bet before the call date. I just forgot to give you the goods. Anyway, he did lose a bunch of weight but not enough to hit his target goal by November 1 and so he is out $20 and who knows what else.
The am the CHP set up a speed monitor in town and I am happy to see it.
Finally, the first adult eagle was seen (about a week and a half ago) perched above Windy Point–so keep your eyes open!
Last night I ambled down to the Moose Lodge to deliver an apple-cranberry pie. I inherited a ton of apples from neighbor Richard and so made a couple of pies. Although I like to cook and bake I don’t like to keep the stuff around. So, hey what is better than to take it down to the Moose for desert? I also made an apple pie that was unbelievable (now in the freezer) and so may do another for the NSIA potluck next week–or maybe an apple crisp. I still have so many apples–sheesh!
Anyway, while at the Moose Lodge I heard that Dennis was the big winner of the tournament on Sunday. The tournament went until about 9pm and was well attended. I am not up on all the scoop as I am on book deadline and hiding out in front of my computer screen.
Did anyone go to the chamber meeting last night?
I am going to Bear City today for a couple of appointments and errands but those of you with teenagers–don’t forget to send them to the Moose Lodge tonight for pizza and so they can help form the new teen club.
NS Cafe Today I ventured out for the Sunday group meal at the North Shore Cafe. A bunch of locals always gathers there and I have not been in a while. My favorite breakfast is their Santa Fe eggs and so I got a half order. Yum! Anyway, it was a noisy gathering and I am amazed at how anyone can discern anything from the buzz over breakfast.
Me, I demanded lots of coffee as I’ve been pretty tired. The book is coming along and I am working on feedback on someone’s manuscript, too. At the moment I am taking a break and what am I doing? Writing, of course.
So, there I was when TWO Fawnskin Flyer groupees flagged me down. Shouts of “GG,GG!” rang through the restaurant. (Okay, okay, maybe not shouts but this IS a gossip rag.)
Don and Sharon have Fawnskin Fever and have been visiting regularly. They live in Montclair and are getting ready to buy a place in the valley. This weekend they brought up relative Linda, too. I love them since they are BIG fans of the Flyer AND have the best smiles and energy. It will be nice to have them be regular residents eventually.
Gem of a Gallery In the meantime, I have managed to get out from behind these walls and away from the front of the computer. Last night I went to help celebrate the First Year Anniversary of Serenity Place. Yippee! If you have not visited this gallery you have missed the gem of the valley. Super people, super art and super fun. I love catching up with other artisans.
Fawnskin’s Frivolous Gals The night before (Hey! I am on a roll.) found me at Rick N’ Dee’s house. Rick was down at the Moose so we got a few gals together for a movie…and er, forgot the movie. Instead we had a Fawnskin Food Fest (with wine) and engaged in life stories, silly stories, along with a few bouts of serious banter over books and other topics. You know, I even stayed out past my curfew!
Fawnskin Puppy Needs Loving Home Today, I spied two of the puppies from my perch on my deck. They heard my voice and started running toward me–which was not a good thing since I was on the other side of the highway. Anyway, they have been having a sleep over while Ed was out of town. I hiked down to see them and got my dose of puppy therapy. “Tiger” the brindle pup still needs a home. She is smart and sweet so if you know of a good home please stop by Ed’s or give me a call.
Snickers The sad, sad news is the Snicker was taken to the animal control shelter. When she was dumped here in Fawnskin she was temporarily housed by Ed. Snicker’s human mom was homeless and was struggling to get back on her feet. Like most dogs in Fawnskin, Snickers ended up at Ed’s house and he could not ignore her.
What is worse is that the former owner will not take Snickers back (or can’t take her back–not sure which is the case) and so now little Snickers is in doggie jail due to human irresponsibility. She will probably be euthanized.
I hate irresponsible pet owners and it is a hot button so I’ll spare you the rant but let me just tell you that it breaks my heart and really pisses me off.
