We wished that our fruit blossoms not be zapped by late freezes this year. And somehow we dodged that bullet (unlike last year when all fruit was lost). At this point, it looks as if we may actually have a bumper crop of peaches, a few plums, and a few pears on our young trees. ---Too soon yet to know about persimmons, pomegranates, grapes and pecans. 

Dear Editor:

I live right across the street from Trinity Lutheran church. When I decided to buy a piano from their garage sale, I was told that some men would roll it to my house. I don’t know think that I, or anyone else involved, had any idea the science and physical labor that lied in the task ahead of them.

I can’t recall exact numbers, but I know that a team of 6 to 8 men, a pallet, several pieces of plywood, a couple of dollies, and some others (like myself), for moral support, were all involved in the adventure. The men moving the piano were fantastic sports about it. They moved this very heavy, upright piano from inside the church to exactly where it is in my bedroom across the street. They laughed and joked the entire time. During this time I had several invites to attend their church. Toward the end of that long journey, I was unsure if they were truly invites or threats. All joking aside, the people of Trinity Lutheran Church are some of the friendliest, selfless people in Clifton. 

Thanks again to all who helped!
