Hughesville
The other day I became very motivated and decided to clean out our refrigerator. Actually, it wasn’t so much motivation, but the fact that I couldn’t fit another thing into it.
I precariously reached into the back and began pulling items out and touched something gooey, sticky and furry. Suddenly I felt something touch my hand! As I shrieked, I realized it was just the container on the shelf above that had decided to spring a leak. Solidified fat had dropped onto my palm. I tried to take advantage and thought I could use it as a moisturizing treatment as I clean, but then decided it was just too gross.
It’s amazing what can accumulate in the ‘frig; not only food and drinks, but assorted batteries, a half-eaten Easter bunny and half a box of baking soda.
On the bright side, I have the healthiest refrigerator in the county. After all, penicillin comes from mold and I certainly had a lot of that growing in the vegetable drawer. Next week–the freezer.
The Clarkstown-Lairdsville Lutheran Parrish is planning an evangelism project to be held Saturday, Nov. 22 at the Clarkstown Fire Hall.

The Trinity Lutheran Youth Group in Hughesville is selling Christmas cookies to raise money to help out a less fortunate family in the community.

Orders can be placed by calling the church office at 584-3490.
Beginning Saturday, Nov. 22, the East Lycoming Historical Museum gift shop will be open from 11-4: p.m. every Saturday through Dec. 20.
