May all our stars have a really great day and may all your wishes come true. Keep in your heart and in your prayers all our stars who need that card, visit, phone call or daily thought of them: Mick and those who have and are getting over the Coronavirus, those with the aches and pains of ev- eryday life, and those who suffer from allergies. I just learned abour some more stars we know who have passed away. Our Winslow Lion Mike Russell passed on April 21 at age 73. I remember Mike as always smiling and whenever possi- ble, he would help out in events being held in the community. To his family and friends, remember all those great times and share memories, and more will be added to yours. Our former neighbor, Sylvia Wheel- er, passed on April 26 at age 88. She was friendly to everyone and even though she stayed at home, she would sit on the porch, and smile and wave whenever we would pass by. To her family and friends, remember all the great times you had with her and share those memories. More great memories will be added. EVENTS May 7 - Winslow Lions Club may meet at 7 p.m. at the Community Cen- ter. May 10 - Mother's Day. If you are able to give hugs again, give Mom a big hug and kiss, and don't forget to say, "I love you, Mom." I hope all mothers have a great day and if you're like me, the hugs and kisses, and the words, "I love you, Mom," will mean more than a present. However, if you need that present, I hope you get what you want this year. May 11 - Winslow Town Hall may meet at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall. May 12 - Winslow Beautifica- tion may meet at 6:30 p.m. and Winslow Economic may meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Communi- ty Center. May 14 - Petersburg Lions may meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Village Inn. May 16 - Armed Forces Day. Winslow and Petersburg se- niors will not be meeting un- til it's safe to meet in groups. The Winslow Senior Citizens are fixing home-cooked meals on site and delivering to the elderly and handi- capped. Contact Frieda Bolin at 812- 789 -2986 for Monday and Thursday delivery. Everyday at noon, remember to pray the prayer from Dr. Robert Asa, of the Winslow Christian Church, that ap- peared in Sweets Column on April 19. We did not receive any postcards or notes in the mailbox this week at Sweets Column, Winslow, IN 47598. Winslow Patoka River was way be- low the rim, but with the amount of rain we have had this past week, we may be real close to the rim by now. Ever since Saturday, April 25, we have had rain every day but two up until Fri- day. The temps have been in the low 60s and rising into the 70s for Monday and Tuesday, then again on Friday with winds between 10 -30 mph, and gust- ing one day around 50 mph. The days it was nice, the sun felt really great. Down at Riverside Park, we have the Eskimo that still looks fine and it has had some type of varnish-like treat- ment done to it and may last a few more years. However, the beaver by the boat ramp has given its all through all of the flooding seasons. The Dogwood trees are in white blooms in and near the edges of the woods. The purple redbud trees are now changing to show their green leaves. My Dogwood tree finally got some small leaves on it, the black-eyed Susans are coming up nicely, Grand- ma Laura's tree has helicopters that are now falling and green leaves are appearing. The white flag has two buds and I heard the purple irises are in bloom along with the tulips. I also have seen buds on the rose bushes and I also heard that it's time to put out the hummingbird feeders. In Winslow, Norm took a picture of a something a couple of stars had drawn in chalk on the street. It was a great big heart with starbursts and hearts on both sides. The writing said, "Stay Safe, Winslow." Norm has also taken some pictures of the Winslow lagoons with some col- orful sunrises, fog on the water, wild- flowers growing along the banks, with the woods of trees all in leaves. When I think of lagoons, I don't think of it look- ing like a beautiful pond, but they do look really great. We are very thankful for everyone who has helped our fellow stars, young and old, with food to nourish the bod- ies and also bring the smiles across the faces to know they are loved and thought of. We also thank those stars who work in businesses we stop in to get our needed stuff. We all appreciate the many utility companies and others that have forgone the late fee and this is to help out the many stars who are not working because of the virus. To everyone, we are grateful for all you do in your community. Last Sunday night, April 26, I went outside and saw the bright, starry sky, but then in the western sky, I saw a stream of lights that were moving from north to south. When they moved to the halfway point, they disappeared. I called Norm to hurry up and see this strange attraction before it left and he almost didn't make it. So, Norm got out his phone and found out it is a group of satellites that are part of something called Starlink, which is a project by SpaceX. I almost thought we were in a space movie to see so many lights trav- el fast across the sky, but relieved to hear that we might see more of these satellites in the sky. I hope those thou- sands won't hinder our viewing of Ve- nus, Mars and Jupiter that can be seen now in the western sky. We have some new animals in our ar- ea by the names of Alvin, Simon and Theodore, who are the cutest little chipmunks that had hidden some nuts in a vehicle we have in our yard. We tried to give the chipmunks back to the person, but since they are here, they have a new place to live, along with our squirrels. They all love the nuts. The tree trimmers are in the area for the power lines to stay up. The trees are trimmed, but only on one side or like you see on the highway, straight down the middle. The trees in our ar- ea only have one side manicured, but I feel sorry for the old apple tree that has a section taken out of the top. It looks sickly now. Grandma Laura's big tree has a side by the road taken off; the part that hung over the road and near the power lines across the road. This trimming hasn't been done for about 5 -10 years. I'm not really complaining, but this time, they have cut more of the limbs off the trees than last time. However, this helps the power lines in our area from losing power when some limbs are broken and fall into the lines. This causes a lot more problems when a storm comes through our neck of the woods. So, thank you. Lights are about to dim for this week, and we all hope that everyone is safe from this virus. If we still have to keep our distance to stay safe, then don't do too much griping. Just go with the flow to know this may or may not last too much longer if we all try to not do the things that will put us all at home again. This is not over, even though some may think it's a joke. Still keep an eye on family and friends. Slow down and see all the wonders of your area. As always, smile, wave and say "Hi" to everyone you see this week.
