A •P* Sandy Pond Chatter by AA. Crandall Monday, August 5, 1985 Banner Times-Page-11 IT NEVER FAILS Ever have a lost weekend? I just had a lost week! I spent most of it under a blanket trying to keep warm! Tuesday's visit to NOCHSI told me I had cellulitis of the right foot. After a week on antibiotics, I'm beginning to feel there is hope yet! Maybe, because I have a little curly-haired visitor for a few days, My grandson's puppy Muttley Jo is staying with me for a, few days until they get back from Santa's workshop, and Frontier Land. You can't be sick with him around! I heard two Sandy Pond Mosquitoes talking about \taking him home to eat\ so I brought him into the house for the first night. He checked on me and washed my face 30 times during the night! I really enjoyed him - \We all did!\ Mr. and Mrs. James Archer, Josie Hedger, Catherine Widrig, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Meister had dinner Sunday at Buffalo Head Restaurant in Forestport. Harry Meister, of Copenhagen and his son, Gerald from Hinsdale, N.H», were dinner guests of the Ernie Meisters. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Jones and Thelma and Ernie Meister had dinner at Frick *N Frack's and then called on Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Borland. Bill and Lynn Mitchell and the Meisters have had several evening of card playing. A business call found the Meisters in Watertewn and the next day they were in Syracuse for Ernie's doctor appointment. They called on Jennie Smith and Gordon Carr while there.
