This impressionistic piece is based a view of the Poás Crater Lake at the top of the Poás Volcano in Costa Rica. It is oil on a panel. This striking view was one of many beautiful scenes we enjoyed during a visit to Costa Rica. The Poás Volcano, is an active 2,708-meter stratovolcano in central Costa Rica and is located within Poás Volcano National Park. It has erupted 40 times since 1828, including April, 2017 when visitors and residents were evacuated.

As I mentioned last week We Care's pantry is completely out of many of the items on the linked list below and they need your help as soon as possible as their inventory has reached lows that must come up quickly in order to continue to meet their clients' needs, especially the higher needs of summer as clients are stretched with higher electric bills and with school out, must provide breakfast and lunch for their children. The summer also means that giving typically goes down. Please help today! Collection bins are located throughout Chapin at the library, Crooked Creek, local churches, and at We Care.
We Care is incredibly grateful for your support!

Daniel Boone, an American Pioneer, explorer and frontiersman, (November 2, 1734 – September 26, 1820) first began exploring the valleys and forests of the present day Bluegrass State of Kentucky on June 7, 1769. Boon founded the village of Boonesborough, Kentucky which is one of the first American settlements west of the Appalachians. Daniel Boone married Rebecca Bryan on August 14, 1756. They lived in a cabin on his father’s farm and had ten children.
During the Revolutionary War, Boone was a militia officer and in 1778 was captured by the Shawnee warriors who adopted him into their tribe. Following the war, Daniel Boone emigrated to eastern Missouri where he spent most of the last two decades of his life. Boone died of natural causes on September 26, 1820, at the age of 85. His last words were, “I’m going now, my time has come”.
A legend in his own lifetime, Boone remains an iconic figure in American history.

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE
ICE CREAM DAY
|
Chocolate ice cream is the second most common flavor, surpassed only by vanilla. The chocolate flavored ice cream has been in existence well over a hundred years and has been popular in the United States since the late 19th century.
Cocoa powder is blended in with eggs, cream, vanilla and sugar to make chocolate ice cream. The cocoa powder is what gives the ice cream a brown color.Who says you have to stop there, though? You can have it in a cone, add sprinkles or syrup or whipped cream. Other flavors, such as rocky road or triple chocolate chunk, use chocolate ice cream in their creation.

Do you still own a VCR player or do you know someone who does? Many young people do not know what a VCR player or a VCR tape is! The video cassette recorder (VCR) is an electro-mechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from television on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette. The images and sound can then be played back at a more convenient time. At the time, the VCR was the main way to watch movies at home, and one could create their own personal movie library.they were a marvel of technology! The first VCR was introduced in 1956. The home (VCR) was developed in 1970. Over 10 billion videotapes remain today with our recorded memories. These memories are keepsakes and people keep the tapes for that reason. It is important to move those memories to a more stable format to preserve them. Companies like
Zoovio
, Inc., provide options for both getting them converted to a DVD or stored in an online private vault online to be viewed and shared on internet connected devices including TVs.
