Last weekend the first true labor step was taken to get this years event going......the transferring of the storage shed contents to the Church grounds. This Saturday (June 16th at 8 AM) is what has become the "Building Day" for the festival booths and set-up of all that the Church provides itself. While we are a bit challenged due to construction of our new Church, we are making due and there will be plenty for all ages. Here again is the web site for event and I will keep updating you on the progress as we approach the June 19, 2012 opening night..... http://stjoesfestival.com/stjoesfestival/Home.html

This weekend was, what has become an annual event, our New York City weekend with the family to enjoy a show and dinner in a city where it is done so well.  There were 16 of us this trip, all ready for a great time. This years show was Avenue Q ( www.avenueq.com )  and it was like nothing I have seen in the many years we have been going to NYC and I did laugh my butt off.....from beginning to end. The stage was simple, the cast outstanding....the integration of the hand puppets incredible.  If you are looking for something different this is it.....you will not be disappointed.

Just 3 short day after her 98th birthday (14 dog years), we had to say good-bye to part of our family, our Cocker Spaniel, Holly Noel Princess of East Brandywine Township......and yes that was the name on the pedigree papers when we got her. Holly was more than a pet, she was part of the family and a loyal friend.....our home is a bit emptier today. The upcoming holidays will certainly be different...... The Princess in her Court....... The Princess w/Her Loyal sidekick, Buffy after a busy day cleaning!! A trooper even under the weather!!!!! Say hi to Beau and Jordan for us Holly Girl!!!!!!!!

The Downingtown Area School District's preliminary budget, which includes a 2.35 percent tax increase, has been approved. The budget, originally proposed with a 2.5 percent tax increase, states that all salary increases will be eliminated, with the exception of a 4.25 percent increase for the teamsters union employees, which was previously agreed upon in their contracts. The budget also proposes participation fees, in response to parents' and students' comments during April's board meeting. The budget also proposes $75 parking fees for high school students who drive themselves to school.   jroosevelt@kw.com
