Last week I looked at some of the reasons that the Clayton Senior Center might have been closed. This week I will try to give some practical advice and information in order to keep this from happening again.
We are working toward implementing a new mailing list system at Labels with subscribers’ names and addresses will be placed at the bottom left hand column of the front page. The labels also will include a postal bar code that will assist postal employees with directing newspapers hopefully more expediately.
With the opening of the Clayton Senior Center today I started thinking about all the questions surrounding why it was closed last Sept 30th. The Center had been open continuously for over 50 years and participation was back to pre-COVID levels, if not higher.

'It's hot!' my eight-year-old daughter complains. And I, like my Mama told me when I was eight, respond dryly: 'It's August.' When I was a little girl, complaining about the Alabama summer heat was like complaining about the sky being blue or water running downhill.
The recent rains have been welcoming that have helped bring down the humidity but it’s still hot. Some people are saying that it is the warmest weather conditions they have ever seen. We tend to agree! ****** A lot of football fans are ready for the season to begin. It will not be long before fans will be filling the stadiums in anticipation of winning seasons! There’s always a lot of hype around the games!
We are continuing this week with our summer series on Big Jim Folsom – Alabama’s most colorful governor. Those of us who grew up in and around Alabama politics have coined a descriptive term for a person who is obsessed with seeking political office constantly and tirelessly without reservation or concern for their physical, mental or financial welfare.

We received a telephone call from Betty Harrison Baker of Columbia, SC Monday and enjoyed reminiscing about her childhood days in Clayton. A few years ago she returned home and had a nice tour of the area where she has many fond memories. Thanks Betty for sharing with us your memories of home!
It’s hard for us to image that school doors will be opening for a new term beginning this week. We tend to lean toward opinions stated that students now get out of school too late and start too early. We remember times when classes did not start until after Labor Day. Today’s schedules, however, allow for longer holiday breaks and other days off to separate the school year. It is what it is, as they say, so we extend our well wishes to all who are returning to the classrooms and wish all a successful school year. ****** It’s still hot outside. Continue to take precautions and stay hydrated. As always protect your pets from this extreme heat.
