CEDAR MOUNTAIN NEWS FOR THURSDAY 11-17-22

ONE THOUSAND SALES CELEBRATION” DROP-IN

Amazon Publishers recently sold the 1,000 th copy of THE VILLAGE AND THE TURNPIKE, with our

very own Cedar Mountain village being the “star” village in the book title. To celebrate the number 1,000

and to help the 3 authors recover from the shock of the number sold so far – pre-publication estimates

were from fifty to “a few hundred” copies sold – come join the authors in a happy drop-in at the Cedar

Mountain Community Center. The gathering will be from 2-3:30 pm on Friday, November 18. Coffee,

tea, and homemade sweets will be served. The 1,001 st copy of the book, signed on the spot by the authors,

will be given as a door prize.

There will be no speeches, but the authors have asked the four early manuscript readers (a hard job

indeed!) Aleen Steinberg, Marcy Thompson, Marty Grigsby, and Kirk Friedland to make a couple of

comments about what they did to get the authors through the early rough patches.

Do come and join in the fun.

THANKSGIVING DINNER AT THE CMCC

On Monday night cars were parked 3 deep and across the road for the pre Thanksgiving dinner at the Cedar Mountain Community Center. There was an abundance of good food and deserts that quickly disappeared as a long line of hungry folks filled their plates. There was no meeting or program so we did a lot of “visiting” and eating.

MCGAHA CHAPEL CHRISTMAS SINGING

On Sunday, December 4th at 2:30p there will be a Christmas Sing with refreshments being served afterwards at the Robin Hood Center.

AROUND THE HOUSE – by Linda Packer Young

Last Tuesday was a nightmare. My honey was in the hospital for pneumonia since early Monday morning and they dismissed him Wednesday afternoon. (He’s good now). We had an appointment Wednesday at Larry’s Auto Repair to make sure our Jeep was ready for a road trip Saturday. My kind neighbor, Susan, agreed to meet me there for a ride back home. I had an awful time getting back to the hospital though. The batteries were dead in both the Terrain and the pickup truck. I looked under the hood of the Terrain and was totally bewildered. The battery was like nothing I’d seen before and had no connections on top to jump start it. I did manage to jump-start the old pickup after dragging a 50 ft extension cord out to it and setting the jump starter on fast start. To top it off I had to go take care of the Jeep bill at the garage before they closed. I left the pickup at the garage and took the Jeep to fetch Richard who then drove the truck back home. I guess infirmity has yet to claim me.
