PROGRESS! The block between North 4th and North 3rd on
E Street has been paved! And there is something rare about this
street...at least for Elmwood...CURBS!
More Progress! Sidewalks are being built on West Street. This will
be nice for the kids' trek to school. John Bruns and family have been
hard at work.
The Recycle Trailer is in the Elmwood Park right now!
The trailer will likely be in the Elmwood Park until Friday when it is hauled to
be emptied and then relocated to it's next destination. THANK YOU, LOU!!!
There's been some progress at our house, too. Vince is staining the siding a
different shade. This one is darker and looks even better.
What better way to cool off when it is 100 degrees out? Zachary
enjoyed the water!
Emma also thought it was fun.
Emma is thinking about spitting on Grandpa Vince to cool him off.
The new playground equipment is installed and fenced in. It is just
waiting for the children!
