(Here am I supposedly typing#in
final my notes for the column and what
do I find myself doing? Re-reading the
May-June issue of the Blue Ridge
Acres news. Why? "Cause I enjoy so
much Ruby Brownlng's history of our
mountain. What fun)."
Also chatted with Carmen Howe last
week but can't fred my hen scratches
from our conversation. I'd certainly
never make a true reporter, intrepid
or otherwise. Do remember that
Carmen and Harvey were away over
the fourth of July weekend visil old
friend Middy whom many of us have
met over the years. Seems that Mid-
dy's grandson had a stroke - can you
imagine that at the age of five?
Neighbor George GaWt, still with his
arm in a cast, came by to visit Russ.
George hopes that at his appointment
at Walter Reed the doctor's will
remove the cast and find that his nerve
is fully recovered - the nerve in his
hand, that is. George is one of the
residents of Blue Ridge Acres who
claim they don't want or need air con-
ditioning. Says he has one but never
got around to installing it last year or
so far this year. When I look at those
90-some temperatures, I wonder how
he stands it, but he certainly seems un-
daunted by the heat...Heard that Pap-
py and Betts Kitchen finally gave in
and got an air conditioner for their log
cabin and are most pleased with
it...Bertha DeVese and Gladys Gooch
use their air conditioner intermittently
but claim that it always cools down at
night at Whispering Stream. The gals
have a resdient chipmunk as well as
several squirrels. Dspite their fur
coats, the little animals go on their
merry way chomping on the scratch
that Bertha puts out for them.
Bettie LaMotte, had a surprise for
her birthday. Cyndy and Wayne Kit-
chen, two other great crab lovers, in-
vited Cal and Bettie down for hard
shells. Cal and Bettie were also invited
to happy hour at Marianne Cook's with
Mary and Ruby Browning before go.
ing to Wayne and Cyndy's. Imagine
Bettie's surprise to find a full scale
party of hard shell lovers - Cal had ex-
panded the guest list to include Miggs
Dotson, Bob and Mary Bell, and Lil
and Bill Craghead. And boy did those
crabs disappear !
The swimming pool looks perfectly
beautiful but understand that there
had been some problem with the water
supply for clubhouse and office•
Despite the heat, volunteers started
digging, found the air bubble in the
water line and full service has been
restored. All club property that is sup-
posed to, now has water. Rah! Rah!
Rah! Dan Conklln should be pleased
now he can water the flowerbeds at the
office which he so lovingly planted.
Cannas and Dusty Miller certainly
looks fine together.
Some 50 people appeared to enjoy
the club brunch held last Sunday mor-
ning. The food was delicious and plen-
tiful and everyone seemed to have a
fine time. The club even made a pro-
fit on the affair which was certainly
much needed and welcomed.
Sometimes this non-profit organiza-
tion goes a mite too far.
Amtlx covered dish supperis
scheduled for July 23 - always a fun
event. Details are on the Imlletin boml
at the postal center and I'll get them
for next week's column. Do know there
will be horse racing in the club house
after the dinner.
We had planned a birthday picnic at
our house over the holiday to celebrate
a reunion which included the return of
a long-lost stepson - Ed Gardlner of
Florida. Due to Russ's ill health, the
event was cancelled out here. But Ed
(Sunny) to the family, brought his wife
and her two boys plus his sister Pat
Hardy out last Friday for a visit. Great
tall tales were told of childhood events
and lots of catching up on subsequent
activities. Was fun; Russ and I en-
joyed it.
Now that son Mike's big wedding is
over and done with and visiting Fritzes
and Pinsons all returned to various
parts of the U.S. of A., Jim and
Marilyn are trying to pull themselves
together and plan their next move and
I do mean move. The Pinsons hope to
build a small house in Blue Ridge
Acres in the not . They
own property in Florida and hope to
divide their time between West
Virginia and Florida when Jim retires
in the next couple of years. We'll see. "
Our black-eyed Susans and pink
Cone flowers are blooming their hearts
out - looks like they get secret water
I don't know about while all the other
flowers are drying on tl',eir stalks even
the so-called hardy phlox. Last week
however, on Hickory, the road was lin-
ed with multitudes of sweet peas, but
I never got around to picking any.
NEWS OF YESTERYEAR
SPIRIT DATED July 14, 1987
"Last Thursday's storm has been
almost the whole topic of conversation
at BRA...I'U tell you about some of the
highlights I've gleaned, as usual in no
particular order...Bertha DeVese and
Gladys Gooch were among the bowlers
at the Brdnswick Bowling Center when
the entire roof blew off and inches of
water covered the floor...Bertha and
Gladys decided that home was best
and returned to BRA only to find chaos
there too. A beautiful cherry tree on
the Shenandoah Drive side of their
house had been uprooted, fell on the
power lines and shorted out power to
their home and several others in the
area...In the "old area" only the
houses close to Chestnut Hill Road
escaped the power outages from fallen
trees which lasted from four to eight
hours in various areas...As soon as tho
storm stopped, Jimmy (Kidwell) got
in his truck with his pawer saw and
removed any and all trees which were
blocking roads.
"Near misses...A maple tree bet-
ween the Warfielcls and Virginia Bliz-
zard's broke at the top and hung
precariously over the power and phone
lines which, luckily, had been
reinforced a couple of years ago. Ed
and Pat Wintermyer had a large oak
leaning toward their house which split
about 20 feet up - the oak, not the
house. For reasons unknown, it fell
away from the house instead of on it.
The Kellys found their house by the
process of looking behind a huge toppl-
ed tree on WhRe Oak and sure enough,
there it was, unhurt. Jean Tannyhill
had a similar problem; could hardly
get into her house for the huge fallen
tree which had ripped out all her utility
lines and blocked the driveway. Again,
the house itself escaped damage.
"Edna Peddicord had been to
Frederick...and came innocently
home only to find that she had trouble
with two trees. One large tree on the
upper side of her lot blew its top and
split, but missed her house. Even
closer fell a huge oak which was com-
pletely uprooted and grazed the back
of her house...Looked like maybe a
black walnut that split in two at Glen
and Marion Wellman's. They surely
will be surprised when they return
from Canada. Couldn't tell for sure
what the large tree was that fell by
Walter and Mildred Smith's house.
"In the "new" section, as I mention-
ed, there was a tree on the roof of
Harry and Esther Beaumont's and the
Palladi home seemed to have suffered
a hit. Otherwise so far as Russ could
see from riding about, the storm
seems to have missed them."
Beck to the present - 1988. I found
that the column on the storm has so
many items still of interest, I'm going
to finish it next week; this epistle is
long enough - Bye now...Faithfully...
