June 18, 2011. Artemas, PA. Bluegrass Festival.

Tonight, in Artemas, we will attend the Bluegrass Festival, held at the Legion Ball Field, where the Little League games are held.  Last year the field was re-done, and several fund-raisers were held to raise  money, even though all the work was volunteer labor.  Tonight they hope to finish  raising the funds tonight.  It appears, our little town of Artemas is a hot bed of Little League Baseball.  Two teams won the state championship last year.

Betty and Roger drove out to the farm to see us today.  We ate a lovely lunch and now they have gone home to the city.  Everyone loves the look of the country and the farm land but no one feels comfortable to stay for the weekend.  Interesting.  Folks are very tied to the city and their home.  It was lovely to see them.  Betty and I worked together for a long time.  She is wonderful at her job and she also is a huge source of ideas.  I am without ideas but I am just smart enough to become surrounded with idea people.  Betty was one of those people and I was grateful for her contribution.    Now I am retired.
