For the last week or so our blue skies have been gray, and the sun has been looking more like a daylight moon. With the wildfire smoke from Canada making its way to our region we have been experiencing what looks like smoggy city skies. Finally on Sunday the blue skies were back, and the temperatures were feeling like July. We will gladly take it knowing what we do about the months to come.

Barbara Louise McLaughlin

at

Barbara Louise McLaughlin, 84, passed away on Saturday, Aug. 12 at home, surrounded by family. She grew up in Bremen, with one sister and five brothers. Childhood stories of a welcoming and loving home for friends and family, a pet pig, a dog named Penny and sisterly love fests involving torn dresses and scissors always made us laugh. Getting hit by a truck, hitchhiking, and sending tourists in circles were early signs of the mischief she enjoyed creating her whole life. This high school graduate was a smarty, sought out by engineers for her commonsense feedback on new products during her 19 years at GTE Sylvania. Her intelligence, work ethic, and silliness made her a beloved employee and friend.
