On Friday Lynn went with three friends to the Brimfield Antique Show, open three weeks in the summer, attracting some 400,000 vistors.  Each of the weeks about 10,000 merchants set up tents with their wares.  You see a lot of characters there, such as these bearded gentlemen (1 and 2).  Lynn bought a couple of pins.
    We spent Saturday with Matt and Crystal in Pelham, MA. They have a eight-week-old kitten named Yogi.  Dan helped Matt move 3 tons of wood pellets from the basement to a storage bin in the house.
    The sunflower is full-grown now.  Dan put the screen door on the porch, and he slept out there last night.

Feature for the day:  Space shuttle Atlantis lifted off at 11:15 a.m., Sept. 9. (Pictures 1 and 2.)
