Day 938: Coordinator's party

We picked up the new lilies today.   Mrs. Nass gave us a bonus lily of our choice because she read about us in the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation newsletter.  She believes in volunteering, so she wanted to reward us for our years of volunteering.  So nice!  I picked the lily Jane Trimmer, which is a gorgeous rose and purple/black ruffled lily with a black eye and green throat.  Spectacular!

Mrs. Nass also revealed that this is their last season.  She is 79 and her husband Harold is 83.  It's a physically demanding occupation.  They are looking for someone who would like to buy their lilies or take over their care.  At this point, they have not found a solution.  So, we will go back in a few weeks and get a couple more.  I think we are maxed out.

We got all of our new lilies planted before we headed out to Mayville for a wonderful barbecue for all the fire coordinators, chiefs and staff.  When we arrived at Norma and Scott's house,  a friendly brown goat greeted us, checked out my camera and then romped off to greet new arrivals.  When we mentioned it to Norma, she ran off to put the friendly goat back in his pen.  The food was fabulous!  Barbecued chicken, pulled pork and a huge variety of salads and desserts.  Someone made blueberry pie and it was the best I ever had!


120 lengths today took me to 45 miles for the season!
