We all face new adventures in our lives and each adventure that you start is really a new beginning — a change in your life.
How are your travel plans shaping up? How about Alaska? Australia? Or, closer to home, how about Lopez Island?
Can you feel the excitement? The annual Greater Hansville Community Center Rummage Sale is Aug. 10 and 11 at Buck Lake County Park.
Did you go to the Ladies Aid Dinner Dance? The theme was “A Garden Party” and when you entered the door of the Hansville Community Center, you entered into a garden through a white picket fence and through an arbor over the entrance.
If you are lucky enough to live in a small town and you are lucky enough to know people that have lived there most of their lives, then you are the lucky one who gets to hear stories about the past.
From time to time, I like to take a survey of the thoughts of my peers. Nothing earth shattering, just daily stuff.

In mid-July, the husband of one of my cousin’s died. He had Alzheimer’s for several years and it had gotten to the last stages and we lost him. His wife, Kathleen, said she found some solace in writing about Robert and remembering the happy times…
On July 28, are you going to go take this year’s Ladies Aid Garden Tour? You should. Right here in our little village you’ll find some pretty spectacular plantings, growings, and placement of statues and carvings and, well, you just never know what you’ll find.

Grann Arthur Steele became the fourth Eagle Scout in his family March 3. More than 100 people attended his Court of Honor ceremony at Bayside Church in Kingston and, of this group, there were 12 other Eagle Scouts. Among those attending was a Scout troop from Canada, as well as his brother Garrett, who became an Eagle in 2007; father Gary, who became an Eagle in 1972; and uncle Darrell, who became an Eagle in 1967.
Did you know that the Hansville Community Center at Buck Lake is owned by the community (not by the parks department or the county), and is run and maintained totally by volunteers (both financially and physically)?
