Karen Cronkhite sent me a nice new poster for the WCS Drama Clubs presentation of "The Importance of Being Ernest" and the following synopsis.
"The Waterville Central School Drama Club is pleased to present Oscar Wilde’s perennial comedy favorite, The Importance of Being Earnest. John Worthing is "Jack" in the country and "Ernest" in the city. He has met his true love, Gwendolen, in the city, which he thinks will work out very well as she will only marry a man named Ernest. But what happens when Gwendolen unexpectedly visits him in the country and finds out who he really is? To complicate things even more, “Ernest’s” friend, Algernon, also arrives in the country, pretending to be the fictional brother whom “Jack” created for his cover story. As Oscar Wilde wrote, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple."
Come and see just how important it is to be earnest (and Ernest) on Friday, October 10th and Saturday, October 11th at 7:30pm
in the WCS Auditorium.
Tickets are $6.50. Bunburyists are welcome!"
(Thank you, Karen!)

From Virginia Keith, a nice note offering me the blog use of photographs that she took at the dedication of the Maurice Hindus Historic Marker, on Saturday, and posted on the Town of Brookfield Historical Society's Facebook page.
I appreciate that! Thank you, Virginia!
Members of the Hindus family.......

Here and There, Tuesday afternoon.
Painters at Work ....
... on West Main Street, where the upper floors of the Liquor Store building are finished ..........
.... and right next door, at Morgan's Hardware Store, some of the "gingerbread" along the roofline has been painted the same dark brown and the rest of the facade is being painted the same "coffee ice cream" (or pale putty) as the first building.
******
Scraping and painting are in progress at the Burgess & Tedesco Funeral Home on East Main Street, and ......
............... also at Don and Sharon Brown's home on White Street.
Painting is complete, at the former Zirkle residence on Sanger Avenue, and I've just noticed the pretty Italianate arches on the side entryway!
Just up the street a little way, there's another sort of change: the old porch is being removed from the Karl Davis residence.
On East Bacon Street, it looks as if this house will gain a new front porch - and it's getting new "schoolhouse red" paint, too!
More when it happens!
*************************
It's another beautiful day!
53 degrees and sunny at 8:00 a.m.
The TWCNY Weather Forecast:
"Risk for a Shower, Still Warm.
A weak front will be close by so this afternoon will also be partly sunny and temperatures are expected to end up above average once again with highs in the 70s.
A few clouds and a couple of showers will linger into Wednesday and then a drier air mass should build in by Thursday. Temperatures will continue to top out in the 70s through the rest of the week but the forecast calls for a big cool down this weekend as highs drop back into the 50s and 60s!"

While many of us are roaming country roads looking for the most perfect views of brilliant Autumn foliage and cleaning out our tired-looking flower beds, the residents of the Schoolhouse Apartments on Stafford Avenue - formerly the Waterville Central School, built in 1930-31 - and fortunate visitors, like me, are still enjoying the outdoor Summertime "oasis" of the Courtyard Garden - once the school Gymnasium!
The first view, from the hallway, is inviting ...........
.......... and once "outdoors," sitting on the Courtyard balcony, the view of the garden is delightful.
It was the Garden's volunteer "Chief Gardener," Virginia Sparks, above, who tends the plants both here and around the sign in front of the building, who invited me to visit this wonderful Secret Garden. Along with the Lally Memorial Garden behind the Waterville Public Library, this surely must be one of the Village's "hidden treasures"!
Thank you, Virginia!

Waterville Book Discussion Group
Wednesday, Oct. 22
- from Doris Stephan
"Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg, is the now-classic novel of two women in the 1980: of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. From this modest beginning develops a story of love, laughter and even an occasional murder.
"Join the Waterville Book Discussion Group on Wednesday, October 22, at 12 noon in the Meeting Room at the Waterville Public Library. Bring your lunch, we will provide coffee, tea and dessert. After lunch, we will be viewing the movie which starred Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary Louis Parker and Cecily Tyson. You can order a copy of the book by calling the library at 841 4651."
Come back this evening!
