“Living History campers experience 1800s life” by Michel Elben
"Attempting tinsmithing, rising fourth-grader Colby Petry said in the middle of his camp last week that he signed up because he is 'really into history.'"

"Living History campers experience 1800s life" by Michel Elben
"Twenty-four fourth-grade campers, some dressed in period garb, tried their hands at sewing, cooking, painting, tinsmithing, weaving, ropemaking, cane-fishing and candy-making last week during the Carroll County Farm Museum's annual Living History Camp. This week, fifth-graders are getting their turn…"

We really enjoyed spending some time with Trish and Kevin Wagman
The “Fire House” at the Carroll County Farm Museum
Last Sunday, July 2, 2017 at the 10:30 in the morning service at Grace Lutheran Church
Last Sunday, July 2, 2017 at the 10:30 in the morning service at Grace Lutheran Church. Pastor Martha spoke to us about Matthew 10: 40-42 "Whoever welcomes you welsomes me … and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one …"
She asked the question, "What does it mean in our world today to offer a cup of cold water? How do we provide a compassionate welcome to others?"
She finished her sermon by saying, "I leave you today with a challenge for this week: Look and listen for concrete examples of people offering hospitality and a cup of water to others.
"And I urge you to offer God's grace when you see your neighbor in need…"
This is why I go to church, to learn insights that I can use in the following week. Just saying.

Terry Smack elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank
Terry Smack elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank
Huge congratulations to my friend Terry Smack for being elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank. She will do a great job. It is about time. This speaks well of Farmers and Merchants Bank as it is about time, that boards of directors start looking like the local community by adding women, and men and woman of color. Just saying.
If you are not aware of the epic accomplishments of Ms. Smack; she is the owner of Terry's Tag and Title Service, a tag and title agent for the State of Maryland. And she understands that as a responsible business owner, she has a social contract with the community. She gives back to the community and in spite of her phenomenal success, she is still fun, friendly, approachable, and has never forgotten her roots. And the greater community has recognized her efforts by naming her, and her business, in the business category, as one of the Community Foundation of Carroll County's 11th annual Philanthropists of the Year in October 2016.
Join me in recognizing and congratulating bank director Terry Smack. June 29, 2017

For dinner on Wed., on our eating tour of Ocean City Md., we ate at Huggins Crab House www.higginscrabhouse.com at 31st St. 410-289-2581
We choose to eat outside on the rooftop, which worked out well because it gave us a great view of the sunset.
I ordered the Seafood Pasta, which includes over ½ pound of shrimp, scallops, clams, and mussels sauteed, and served with a choice of Alfredo or marinara sauce $25.99.
Caroline ordered Seafood Tacos, with Mahi Mahi. It included two tacos with a fresh vegetable blend that has been infused with a special Asian sauce. $15.49.
Our dinners were wonderful. The service was great. The restaurant was nicely appointed and decorated and quite appealing.
If you go, ask for our server, Sherwood, he was friendly and very good. We liked him.
Or ask for Emily Mitrovich. Emily is a Winter's Mill High School graduate from Westminster, who recently graduated from Salisbury University. She has a teacher's certificate in early childhood education and is currently looking for work in Carroll and Baltimore County public schools. Of course we encouraged her to to come back to Carroll County.
It is a small world, after talking with Emily, she was able to recall that she came to the Westminster mayor's office to interview me when she was in the third grade. I remember it well. What fun
