Well, it sure is a shame certain folks cain't lighten up an' just enjoy life a little more instead o' always bein' so negative.
But, money is all there is fer some people. Money is their children, their friends, their sun, their moon, their love, their life.
It's a shame.

I don't know why Certain Citizens are so ag'in Phase 2 an' the amphitheater. You'd think they'd look forward to a nice stage fer all their little dramas! They'll either be comedies or tragedies I reckon, same as always. "Double, double toil and trouble..."
'Course, some people's idee of fun in the park is takin' a leisurely stroll through it. But there are also those whose idee of fun in the park is to walk through it lookin' fer evidence with which to condemn it an' anybody associated with it.

I was doing some work at the Community Center last night so I went over and checked out the park......unfortunately the swings was a little to low for me and the slide a little to tight... ....But I have fun anyway.....
Everybody needs to take leisurely stroll through our new park....There is something for everyone. .You can not walk through the park and not feel proud of what your Town has done. It is time to start working on grants and funding for phase 2. Summerfield needs to finish what it stated.......

YEE HAW! Let's finish what we started!
Now here's what we DIDN'T start:
We didn't start a "911" park.
We didn't start a "political" park.
We didn't start a "white elephant" park.
Here's what we DID start:
We started Summerfield Town Park,
a park all the people of Summerfield can be proud of,
and we need to finish it like the PLANS call for.
I reckon if anybody wants one o' them other kinda parks,
maybe they should call on one o' their charismatic leaders
to muster all their mighty legions o' volunteers,
an' get out there an' build a 911 Political White Elephant Park
they can be proud of, since they seem to want one so bad!
I think most of us like the park we got goin', though.

They been talkin' on the radio about the lack of recreational facilities in New Orleans because of Katrina.
The young'uns there are gettin' into trouble 'cause they ain't got no parks an' such to keep 'em occupied! Hmm...

| I was way down at Barber Park in Greensboro recently and WHOOEEE! What a park! Now hold on, I realize we can't compete with anything that grand. The interesting thing was that there were several rows of (beautiful new yellow) bleachers with neighborhood families enjoying watching the kids play ball. Mind you, they had no connection with any of the team members or coaches. Said they just enjoyed coming out to the ballfield in the evening. What a great way to meet and enjoy your neighbors!

That does sound like good entertainment, Starcatchr.
I'm not sure if'n this has been talked about elsewhar, but wouldn't it be a nice touch to have a butterfly an' hummin'bird garden somewhere in the park. Wouldn't be all that hard to do. Pappy loves watchin' them hummin' bird critters! Young'uns like 'em too.

| Pappy the butterfly and hummingbird along with some other habitats are being discussed for the park. There are several people involved in this. Hopefully next summer we will be able to enjoy the birds and butterflys.

Much obliged. I thought I'd heered such goin's on was a-goin' on but wasn't sure what the final verdict was. If'n anybody needs any advice fer a Japanese beetle habitat, I can offer some.
Much obliged to all the volunteers!

| I heard they are planning for 500 people to come to the park "grand opening" celebration on Sept. 9. Free food, music and all kinds of activities are being planned.

This is a copy of an email I got from George Holub. Wondering if anybody on the forum can help.
I need help for a half a day on August 12 Saturday 9 AM -1 PM to clean out the underbrush in a small patch of trees between the street and the play ground. Bring clippers, loppers and chainsaws .After we have cleared the woods I would have 2-3 truckloads of mulch brought in and hope that the same crew of volunteers would help spread it the following weekend or when ever it is convenient.
Thank you for your help
George
