I am quite a bit uncomfortable this year with presenting you my traditional holiday wish list. I know so many of us have been having very hard financial times. I shall present it anyway, out of the hope that some of you can donate. All of my wishes are on-Island.
Remember to stop by our Avenue of Flags at the Oak Grove cemetery on Friday to see the beautiful display to honor all our veterans. Join us to remove the flags at 3 p.m.
In other Island news: the roundabout? Fuggedaboutit.
How dare she? How dare she? Dolly Campbell retiring from the Thrift Shop? That’s like a day without sunshine. Well, the rest of the staff is excellent, so we’ll just have to make do. A big party was held in her honor last Friday evening at the Thrift Shop. Next stop, New Zealand!
Martha Dunham’s sisters, Pat and Nancy of Northampton, spent last week visiting Martha and the whole big family on Island. The ladies shopped, toured, visited, gossiped, cooked, played cards and quilted together. I’ll bet they even ate some of that applesauce Martha put up last month.
Who knew? There, on my favorite television show, Jeopardy, was Al and Flo Koster’s son Joe last Friday and Monday nights. Joe did quite well and was a pleasure to see, I don’t think I’ve seen him for twenty years. What fun.
