Shipman
Nelson County, Virginia
Victoria Gomez Mininger of Shipman recently emailed us asking for our help in positing info about her family’s missing Collie named Casey. You know we have a soft spot for animals here at NCL, so here we go. We’ve also posted information on our wall, on our Facebook page.

Here’s more info from Victoria: “On Wednesday evening our collie – Casey went missing after getting spooked by the storm. She is a 7 year old Collie, 40-45 pounds and looks like “Lassie” in color. She is friendly and was wearing a blue/green collar with tags. We live on the south end of Laurel Rd. in Shipman before it becomes Craigstown. If you see her we would appreciate a phone call at 540-649-0689 or 540-448-2230. She is a beloved family pet and we miss her greatly. ”

If anyone has any info, we know Victoria and her family would appreciate the help!

Remember we had a similar scenario here in the Rockfish Valley a few months ago and it had a very happy ending after your help!

Today at 7:28 AM EDT Summer officially begins! It will feel like it too! As a matter of fact it’s been feeling like it all weekend long. The first day of Summer is also the longest day of the year. (so to speak) From here on the days will slowly begin getting shorter with December 21st, the start of winter, being the shortest.

Sunday wrapped up two days of the Virginia Summer Solstice Wine Festival just over the line in Amherst County. Thankfully much of the event was under a rooftop that stretches for nearly 2 acres!

There’s a minimal chance for an isolated late day thunderstorm on both Saturday and Sunday, but chances are around 20%. Most people will never see rain.

By Monday, that first day of Summer, temps remain in the middle 90’s with high in the low and middle 80’s up in the mountain.

Stay cool!
