#OnThisDate: Happy #InternationalWomensDay & #WaybackWednesday!! Last year (3/8/2022), I spent my time in the City of Troy,NY watching “Warden And Company” perform their “Music at Noon” Concert Series at Troy Music Hall & attended the State of the County Address for Rensselaer County at the county building. At that time, I covered that event for my previous job. The event honored the achievements of Veteran Len Roden, recognized two Grafton residents for saving a Mother & Baby at Grafton Lakes State Park, among other county residents. Today on International Women’s Day (3/8/2023), I worked from home, took part in my Zoom piano lesson, & took a ride to the mechanic to drop off Dad’s truck for its inspection. Thank you to all my female friends & family members for your love, guidance, & support Year-round!! Happy National Women’s Day!! (📸 All Photos by Amy L.

#FlashbackFriday: After a week’s hiatus, “The Eastwick Press” returns to your local newsstand (and online!)!! This week’s edition features a photo of mine taken at last Monday’s Town of Berlin,NY 4th of July Parade. Grand Marshal, Anne Maxon (seen in paper), was waving to spectators along the parade route!! To think last year (7/15/2021), Rensselaer County was hit by a major thunderstorm that caused severe flooding in most areas. Today (7/15/2022) May have been sunny, but what made my day was watching a batch of Canadian geese walk across Route 43 in North Greenbush delaying traffic as my family & I were heading to Staples to pick up office materials. Hope you have a great weekend!! Stay cool & purchase your copy of “The Eastwick Press”, out NOW!! (Select Photos taken by Amy L.
