Friends of Millville Do Gardening

The Friends of Millville and the Cumberland County Master Gardeners got up this morning July 11th 2007 to help beautify the Glasstown Plaza in the Millville’s Arts District. The Flower Farm donated flowers that we used to enhance about a dozen planters with colorful arrangements. Renee Pagliughi directed and the city helped use the water supply. We had volunteers such as Linda and Ned Forbes, Rich DeAlmeida, and Carl Johnson take time out to make this possible.

4th of July


Woke up late for the 1st time in a LONG time. We went to the Whole Foods in Marlton via the scenic route via Hammonton and Rt 73 and Winslow Twp. Boy that store is colorful and nice. We then chilled out with friends and now await the thunderstorms. Here is our dog June getting ready for her 1st walk of the day today. She is so excited and CUTE

Yesterday July 2nd




Well I was running late to my job at the welfare office and stopped by Sam's before walking a dog. I met some old West Philly friends Jeff Strong, John Jenson and Gina. It was a beautiful day for a real live flashback to the late 80's. I had my cell phone camera ready for that moment. Gina is moving to California, John is living in NY state and Jeff is still in Philly.
After doing my job I hit the eye doctor for my 2 year check up. I seem to be about 3 years away from bi-focals (gettin old eh) but I just kept my old frames since none of the frames did anything for me. Still it was over $200. I now have to send in for my reimbursement to the insurance company.
I then drove my customary 50 miles back home to Millville and join others in Dottie's walk which is EVERY Monday nite at the Culver Center 2nd and Sassafras Sts. We picked up trash greeted neighbors and saw some trashy properties. Here is a sample. The broken fence with trash is at 101 N 5th Street. I will look up the landlord for this and put it on the Friends of Millville website real soon with the name and address of this slumlord. A video of our walk is here
Tonight is the Millville City Commission meeting which should feature the MF's in action. Remember Even a Blind Squirrel gets a nut ever now and then!!
