The countdown is on!
Hate to be the one to break the news, but school will be starting up in just a couple of weeks!
Being a homeschooling mom myself, our family has a little more flexibility on our start date, and we quite enjoy
going camping on the first week of September while everyone else is catching buses and making lunches.
Before you need to get your home on the back to school routine, I hope you can fit some beach time in with the children as time is ticking.
Water tower face-lift
You may have spied with your little eye, something that is green. That would be the new paint job that is in progress at the Water Tower Park. As part of the Lone Butte Historical Association’s revitalization project, Jon Brooks is doing a great job of getting the job done with the help of several generous contributions from some local businesses.
A huge thank you goes out to Steve Brown of Interlakes Building Supply for the use of the man
lift, and to Mike Redmile of Regency Chrysler for the loan of the pick up truck, which is being used to transport and maneuver the lift around the tower. It’s looking great!
