I'm back on duty once again. My husband and I have been taking care of his son, who was suffering from ALS, for the past two years, intensely for all of 2012 until March 2013, when Jeff passed away. Since that time we've been adjusting to actually being HOME, together. It's amazing to me how long it has taken to acclimate to what was once a normal life here in Mi Wuk. I got to plant flowers for the first time in two years. Wow!
We've also had a Blue Jay nest, for the second year running, in exactly the same spot on our back deck, since late March, early April. The result was 4 bouncing babies who fledged last Sunday. Hopefully they have survived. It's impossible to tell.
Do you know our Mi Wuk / Sugar Pine Fire Department is in search of a new chief? A search committee has been formed. More news as I know it. Fire Board Meetings, open to the public (please come), are on the second Tuesday of every month, 7 p.m. Please come and become informed.
The Fire Auxiliary meets at noon on the second Wednesday of each month. This month's meeting is on June 12th, NOON. Lunch is first at noon-sharp, $5.00, followed by the meeting. Please introduce yourself to anyone who is there if you've never attended before, and they'll be sure you're introduced and made to feel at home. I won't be there this month---appointments in the Bay Area.
The MAHA Board (Mi Wuk Area Homeowners Assn.) meets tomorrow, June 7th, first Friday of the month, at the Mi Wuk Community Center and Library at 1:00 p.m.
I'm not sure about other events, but I teach a Stamping for Adults class at the Mi Wuk Library on the third Thursday of every month, 1-3 p.m., $3.00. We've been meeting since February 2004 and we make two greeting cards, all materials plus envelopes, provided. It's a walk-in class and is lots of fun. No reservation required. We do start promptly at 1:00. Come on out and meet your neighbors. No pressure. No skill. With step-by-step guidance, almost anyone can do it.
Other upcoming events:
Fire Auxiliary Pancake Breakfast, July 6th. Details coming.
Fire Auxiliary Spaghetti Dinner, August ?? I can't find my notes! It's Labor Day Weekend. :)
Mi Wuk Village Chief Fuller Day, August 31st, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Please contact MiWukKettleCorn@hotmail.com for details about participating as a vendor. There will be good food, crafts and arts. Come on out and support your community!!! Proceeds will go to the Mi Wuk Village Beautification Project---working on the "Triangle", as you enter Mi Wuk from Sonora on Hwy 108, at this point. Location: Diamond Jim's parking lot as well as the areas next to the General Store and the Laundromat.
More news on the previous events at I have it.
It's wonderful to be back and sharing community information with you again. If you have anything to announce or concerns, please let me know at 'blythek@mac.com' and I'll see that it gets posted.
Take care and have a safe beginning to summer in the mountains.
