Seems as though every town in that part of PA had an "Old Home Week" in those days.
I wonder what happened to that idea?

Greencastle still has one every 3 years!

But, I will confess I have not been back to one in several decades. Perhaps I should consider visiting during the next one.

Rufus,

Looks kike fun.

Family is and I used to live with my grandparents 2 blocks off the square - big white building is the bank, Hostetter's//Western Auto to the left 2 buildings or so; across the square is still the ELM department store where my grandmother worked. Still have cousins in that immediate area; aunts & uncles still within 15-20 miles. Last name in at least 3 spelling variations is fairly common in that county and most are relatives if you go back far enough in time......

Now that you are retired and have more time maybe you should go back and visit on one of those nothing days.

I actually do have more time now that I have had ever before and at times I find myself totally lacking in motivation to do much of anything at all. Ever 3 days or so I delve into my Editor's job and grind out my duties there reading over submitted manuscripts, sending them out for review, reading reviewer's reports, and making decisions on manuscripts...

I had just begun to find my interest in working in my shop to be re-kindled late in January with the hint of a return of my Muse; gone again. This hobby suddenly holds little joy for me.

Just in recent weeks I've found myself working on my trains. It's been several years since I felt like doing that. I'm teaching myself how to build in brass. It's the most satisfying thing I've ever done.

Of course you don't have to answer this, but who or what is your Muse?

Similar problem here. I believe that my hobbies were a partial escape form the sometimes unpleasant reality of my career. Now that I'm retired (and, old!), it's harder to get motivated. Lord knows, the saved projects are a mile long.

Had you worked all your life at low paying jobs and found yourselves heavily in debt in your old age like me, you wouldn't have to worry about a boring retirement.

You are confusing boredom with depression.

When you refer to the family en-masse, is it the Firefly's or the Fireflies?
