Derf Here! Another fabulous, beautiful summer day here in Southern Maine.
Was able to go to the viewing of a cousin yesterday. Arvid, a farmer at heart, passed away one week ago at 96 years old. A lot of our families grew up on Elm Street in Springvale; I can remember at least six homes filled with relatives within a mile on the street. Arvid was older than some of these families. He was involved in all the granges as well as the farm with his uncle Verne. They certainly supplied the area with exceptional produce (especially corn). Arvid was Acton Fair president for about 46 years until 2016. He had an exceptional life of giving back to the local area.
Thank you to Lew and Tracy for sharing my trip to the viewing last night.
Had a great report from my foot doctor today. Just a look at both feet. It is okay to get my right foot wet now. Must see him again in one week and then hopefully it will be a long time before another visit.
I am spending my afternoons with Mary Lou. She seems tired. Must get her up and around these days. More visits from Bode will cheer her up.
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!
