It has finally cooled down to more livable weather. 

People are starting to circulate more and we are seeing activity again. They keep telling us to keep our distance and wash our hands. With the freedom to move around more and restrictions lifted I find that people are not paying as . . .

much attention to the distancing. It depends where you are too. In certain stores the rules are still rigid and they are vigilant about keeping their staff and customers safe. Others not so much. So it’s up to the individual to pick the stores they feel safe to shop in. Then you see the beaches being overcrowded and totally not respecting each other’s space. It is scary to see because we are not over this yet, not by a long shot. All I can say is stay safe.

I would like to send out my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Michael ‘Mike’ Benoit who passed away May 29. He was the son of Ryan and Gisele Benoit and brother of Vicki (Ben), Jeff ( Shelley) and Lee (Jen).

Wishing everyone who celebrates a birthday this week a very happy birthday.
