Some Habits are Hard to Break!

............. like waking up at 5:00 to check the News and Weather
and knowing that there are things that you, too, will want to know.

VILLAGE BOARD MEETING AT 7:00 THIS EVENING.

One of the topics is bound to be the November 16 Sale of the Village-owned property at #381 Putnam Street to Dave Sullivan for $20,000.

"Snow birds"in Texas are wondering "WHY?"
it was warmer in Waterville than it was in Houston, 
yesterday afternoon!"

Last year it looked like this:

 
This year grass is still green and I found a dandelion (really!) on my front lawn.


If it weren't for the greens and bows that two public-spirited "elves" have hung on the Bandstand you'd never guess that Christmas is only eleven days away. 

 
The Masons' Annual Christmas Tree Sale began on the last Sunday in November but - as of yesterday afternoon - there was still no tree nor were there any Christmas lights in the Bandstand.   
(Perhaps the Village is waiting for it to snow?)


Because it's been warm enough to work outdoors, Christmas Decorations throughout the Village and community have been outstanding this year.

If you do not already know the results of the Waterville Garden Club's Annual Christmas Decorations & Lighting Contest, you can find the complete list HERE, at the "Hub" — your new source of "what's happening when," and more!

I will be posting miscellaneous items, now and then, but they will not usually include community announcements but will only be my observations  -  like this:


Windows were installed at Dale Meszler's "260 Structural" building on East Main Street a few days ago. 

Now, watch for candles to appear in those windows, too!

I am still working my way through "thank you" notes in reply to all of those that have been sent to me!

Although I do intend to keep blogging, I'll be trading in my old HUDLBLGR license plates 
and am also trying to come up with a new blog title.  
Do let me know if you have suggestions!
