Seth’s Sightings

We’re coming in on high school graduations. We’d like to encourage everybody with a graduate in their family to send in photos. I ask parents of Crestwood grads to be in particular touch … because I like to take candid photos and need some help to find you. Also look for me.

The start of our week was dominated by the end of our last week. Normal weeks, we send our newspaper to the printer on Tuesday night, and we go pick it up on Wednesday. As we were sending our last pages, we received word that the press had stopped moving, and they had called for a tech,

who was coming in the next day…so our newspaper was not going to be back to White Haven on time.

The tech couldn’t get the machine moving on Wednesday, or Thursday morning, but succeeded that afternoon, and folks could get their papers on Friday. It made for a strange week. We got our Journal of the Pocono Plateau out from a different press we use, and collected a story. The reason we could not get on that press with our JournalHerald was that they were printing a daily newspaper out of New Jersey whose press also was broken.

My birthday was in the middle of last week, and

9 A.M. Sat. June 10, 2023 Location: 219 3rd Street, Weatherly, PA we chose to celebrate on the weekend with a trip to a favorite Greek restaurant, Yanni’s Taverna in Bethlehem. It was a wonderful, wonderful meal from start to finish. ceremonies… remembering and honoring.

We discovered Yanni’s on our trips to the PAA Shakespeare Festival. A bonus of this trip was that we could also take a trip to the Allentown Farmer’s Market to pick up some Mediterranean and Polish foods, along with freshbaked bread.

Sunday morning, I volunteered to help at the Fly-In, Drive-In Breakfast in Mount Pocono. While not a White Haven-Weatherly thing, some friends needed some extra hands at their fundraiser.

Sightings were somewhat limited, lots of deer, a great blue heron flyover, and some newborn critters at Packer Township farms. The mountain laurel are starting to bloom hereabouts – an early start. Around our property, I’m seeing our ‘sheep laurel’ bush in fine bloom along with a robust rhododendron bloom, while some of our planted flowers are beginning to peek out.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Ruth and I are to meet a west coast friend who is flying in for the weekend whom I have not seen in near a decade – so an exciting get-together with him and his wife. I’ll be monitoring sports, but with the Celtics coming up short in game 7 of their series, I have no teams left to cheer for NBA or NHL. As always, best of health to you all.
