Winslow Patoka River hasn't ris- en or fallen, it's about half-full. The only rain we had was on Sunday and the showers that came down weren't enough to say we had some. The temps have been in the 80s over the weekend, but when the week began, the temps rose to the low to middle 90s, with the muggy heat index in the 100 -103 range. The lawnmowers are still heard each week and the yards look great after being cut. Our squirrel is still collecting those walnuts and you can hear him cleaning that nut out of its shell. Our dog and cat grew up togeth- er so not too much conflict, but when the two different cats come around, the dog doesn't like it too much. They love to sit and listen to her bark at them. Flowers are still seen in ma- ny yards and I love to see how Janie has her yard of flowers and ornaments placed. She has new ones placed in different locations, like the rooster, frog, donkey, flamingo, just to name a few. Soon, she will set out her Hallow- een decorations. I saw uptown where pumpkins and flowers are set out on the steps and it looks like autumn. Have you noticed that the leaves are falling more each day and the amaz- ing colors are showing. Last Saturday, Sept. 7, was the 30th Poehlein Fall Bass Tourney, where 15 teams had a great time catching that big bass. First place went to Tommy Oak- ley and T.J. Aylward with 24 lbs. and 12 oz.; second place was Chris Newark and Steve Powell with 24 lbs. and 6 oz.; third place was Alan Woodford and Beau Dil- lon with 22 lbs. Biggest bass caught went to Jason Sharp with six pounds. The next tourney will be May 2, 2020, same time and place, so mark your calendars. Last Sunday, Sept. 8, was our 45th George and Laura Meyer family re- union, where 40 plus family met at Temple Hills shelterhouse. Our meal was very tasty and there were new foods of vegetarian, and three maca- roni and cheese dishes that were all made differently. Lots of main cours- es of meats, several salads of all kinds and then many varieties of desserts. I tasted everything I could eat and it was all tasty and filling. Pictures were taken, photo books looked through, a flower vine was given to the family of cousin Mike, who passed away this year. Then, there was loads of laughs, hugs and a lot of catching up with the cousins and their families. Three aunts were there, Aunt Mildred, my mother, who is one of the five chil- dren, Aunt Jean, whose husband is Abe, and Aunt Donna, whose husband was George. Aunt Mima Lou couldn't come and her husband was Lawrence. Uncle John and Aunt Betty are with the others who have gone to heaven. I'm the oldest of 21 cousins, so it had been my duty to start off this family reunion and I did a flub-up that every grandmother does. It's when you know your cousins' names but you say anoth- er cousin's name. I had a feeling that was not right and Norm stepped in to correct my lapse of name. Before the prayer was given, we discussed keep- ing the time and date and meeting at the same place. Sweets Column is read by many of our cousins and they still love to see their name in the birthday and anniversary list. Jeff, Brian and Donnie told me to keep writing the col- umn because a lot of stars get to hear what is going on in Winslow and sev- eral like the way I put my words into each week's column. Next year, our 46th Meyer Reunion will be Sept. 13, 2020, at Temple Hills and all the fun begins at noon, so I hope we see more cousins next year. Speaking of Sweet Column, this month, we have been writing for 16 years and I hope we will be for another 16 years, bring- ing everyone the happi- ness it brings now. I love to talk on paper about what my community of friendly people are doing and help- ing out to make Winslow a great town in which to have grown up. The Winslow Commu- nity Festival and Light-Up Parade banner was hung across Main and Center streets on Tuesday, Sept. 10, with the help of some Pe- tersburg town workers, who I would like to thank. Norm would like to say there are 50 dash plaques again this year to be handed out. They will go to the first 50 who have their item lit up for our 14th light-up parade. I can't wait to see them all. Winslow Town Hall has been moving into the bank building across the street and, I believe, October 3 you can start paying your water bill there, where they also have a drive-through. However, September 30 -Oc- tober 2, Town Hall will be closed to complete the move. This new location will be the new office for the Winslow Police Dept. Still lots to do before Sept. 20 and 21, when all the family fun begins. The Winslow Lions have a stage to assemble and we hope we do it right because our Le- roy will not be able to do it this year. Several of our groups, like the Winslow Lions, Winslow Beautifi- cation, House of Mercy, Winslow Nazarene, Free- dom and Fire, Jim's Trac- tor Works, Kayak Ma- fia and Winslow Masons, need a helping hand. So, if you have the time, none of us would turn down your generous help to have a fun- filled day with family and friends. Well it's time to dim the lights for this week, but re- member to check in on fam- ily and friends during these hot and humid days, slow down and see what your ar- ea has in store for you. Stop for school buses. Then, al- ways smile, wave and say hi to everyone you see this week.
