The Wayward Umbrella and the Medford Leas Cowboy
On a very “blustery day,” as Winnie the Pooh called it, a patio umbrella on a Bridlington deck went sailing up to the neighbor’s roof. Sandy and Earl Evens were the wind’s victims, and the Evens thought “ah-ha, we should call the Medford Leas Cowboy,”
Journeys of the Cranes
The Senbazuru (1,000 paper cranes) created by Medford Leas residents wintered in the Large Print Library, then migrated west to the Unitarian Universalist Church in Cherry Hill. Now on display in the Medford Leas Atrium, they will fly northwest at the end of the month for the celebration of World Quaker day at the Moorestown Meeting.
