Williamsburg Villager May 2021
May Day
By David Crane
Again, sorry for being late, but we have had lots of distractions around the stove! You’ll see in a separate article, we have seniors graduating within the Crane’s Store family. And then of course Shanellen has been gone with the birth of her and Andrew’s son Charlie! Born Charles Shelton Sullivan on April 26th. 21 Inches and 7# 11 oz for the statistic minded. Congrats!!
I have just experienced Trask’s graduation and getting ready for Mason’s. Then apartment hunting for Trask and dorm shopping for Mason. Then an empty nest! Don’t know if I’m ready for that eventuality but bring it on.
Also, around the stove, the Liar’s Club is back. The gentlemen have been vaccinated and are happy to be back. Come see them on a Thursday for lunch and bring a good lie.
We are still re-arranging in the store, trying to make things more shoppable. Be patient with our changes and we hope you’ll be pleased.
Hope to be on time next month and we’ll see you around the stove!

Our center is showing its age. We have had to make repairs to the water line this year, the roof is looking kind of shaggy and we’re going to have to remove some trees.
