Hello Lewisburg!
It’s too hot! Will we ever be satisfied with the weather conditions? Too hot? Too cold? Life is just like the weather. We handle the daily issues no matter how hard it becomes only to find that we still want what we don’t have. Easier issues-warmer weather. Harder issues-cooler weather. One day it will mellow out and most of us will be happy.

Bicentennial 2018
Mail delivery was upgraded from casual travelers to a saddle bag, horseback route that went from Dayton thru West Alexandria, Lewisburg, Hagerstown, Casteen, and Greenville. Then there were once – a – week deliveries on the Hamilton & Greenville stagecoach. Lewisburg’s first postmaster, in 1824, was Henry Espich, who had an office at 109 South Commerce Street. He was followed by Lewis Evans in 1826. For nearly 75 years, the post office was kept at the store or home of whoever was postmaster at the time. Later, it was located in a room rented for that specific purpose. The first rented room was at 107 North Commerce Street, now occupied by The Twisted Sisters This & That Shoppe.

Judy and Janet, Where Are You?
We would like to thank our weekly readers especially from Morning Sun. Thank you for your phone call and kind words. That’s what paying it forward does. We are ready for another week.
It’s amazing how the “farm days” have helped both of us in the past two weeks. We helped Judy’s son identify the sexes of their new chicks. What an experience! Those around felt that we were nuts but it turned out that we were right. You just can’t take the country out of the girls.
Janet has fallen three times in one week. She just can’t get it right. Each time she believes that she can fly. Well, it isn’t working!
The puppies got their spring cuts and are ready for the family pictures which will be taken Friday night. This will be an experience but one that we are ready to endure.
In closing
Life is too short to stress. Like Anna Grace, let’s shoot for our nineties. Smile, look straight ahead, and share your inner being with others. “There is spirit; there is grace in our peaceful country place.”
