See you Saturday at the Riverwalk!
That would be me.
I've come to the realization that I no longer get a charge out of having all these electronic devices. I want to go back to 1993!
Am I the only one who keeps forgetting to charge my "stuff" until I'm ready to run out the door?
Wires and cables and chargers, oh my.
Another charge-hungry device missing from photo: camera. I was using it ;-)
Yes, I do indeed remember using manual typewriters..no electricity needed!
Seymour resident Nina Poeta enjoys a shampoo Thursday from Kellie Steeves, owner of Oxford Hair Academy in Seymour during a Cut-A-Thon there to benefit Poeta Strong. Nina, 17, is battling cancer.
Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller supports the cause by getting a trim.
Volunteers and staff wear their "Keep Calm and Nina Strong" pink T-shirts at Thursday's cut-a-thon.
A big thank you to Seymour resident Elizabeth Pisano, a friend of the Poeta family, for sharing these photos. Pisano said the cut-a-thon raised $6,000 for Nina.
