C-10 Wednesday, July 2, 2014 The Press-Dispatch sweet's column By Barbara Sweet Hi stars and welcome to the big stage all decked out in red, white and blue lights to celebrate our great na- tion's birth- day of 238 years of the United States of America. It is also dec- orated to help celebrate our stars birth- day and anni- versary cele- bration in the week of Ju- ly 3-9. Come on up to the stage and take a bow.

July 8 —Carson Charles McDonald will turn 5. July 9 —My brother, George Virden, will turn 60, Lynetta Wiseman will turn 97. May all our stars have a great day and may all your wishes come true through- out the year to come. Correction: Kay Maier should have read Kya Mai- er turned 12. I'm truly sor- ry. Another apology to all our stars who need the help of other stars to remember them in their thoughts and prayers, that your name was left out of the column for the past two weeks, but I will try to remember that even by the printing of their first name, they are remem- bered so I will try harder to improve. It's as if the Brownstown part of Winslow is a touch and over the past week, one of its longtime great neigh- bors passed away—Char- lie Norrick, 88. He was the true meaning of a good friend, neighbor and good man with kind words and more important his kind acts. I will so miss that man for we had tons of laughs. Charlie always spoke kind things all the time, leaving me feeling better. We hope in time the family finds their peace, but I'm sure he is with the Lord. He will sure be missed, my friend. We all have our memo- ries of good times, so hold on to them and more mem- ories will be added from other family members and friends who knew Charlie Norrick.

Summer showers were felt in and around the Win- slow area last week with the humidity up to a steamy, hard to breathe, tempera- tures in the middle to high 80s, with more pools in use or a wet rag was used to help cool off. Norm and I did get the in- side of the cabin mortared and now we have started on the north side (outside) of the cabin. We have started to batten up our eaves for winter with trim and the metal lathe on the south end of the cabin. On Monday, we had a visit from Mike and Lucy Gamble. They were out and about and they signed the door of the cabin. We al- so have a mess of fish to eat and pork-n-beans will taste good with the fried fish. The Rose of Sharon bushes are showing their colors and other plants of red, yellow, orange, white and pink. I have also seen the cactus blooms of yellow and I believe the magnolia tree at the entrance of Hor- nady Park is in bloom. The wildlife in the area of Brownstown is babies of a white and black skunk that played with a rake, a painted turtle sitting in the driveway, a black and white rabbit, a gray fox, hawks that have no sense of time in the morning, and a squirrel that hopped from the tree base into the grass and back on the tree again for several times. Mom and I looked at the baby and laughed at what it was do- ing. We also saw a raccoon crossing the road. What do you see in your area? Friday is July 4 and to ev- ery star, make this a safe one, whether you are trav- eling or staying home. Ma- ny will cook out on the grill with family and friends, and have fun games for the little ones. As you cel- ebrate say, "this is the best day to celebrate our coun- try's birthday." As the lights begin to dim for this week, keep an eye on family and friends, look out for the kids, slow down and enjoy the life around you and always smile, wave and say "hi" to everyone you see this week. Happy Fourth of July.
