The street fair returns tonight! Therefore, for this one day only, Grace Church lobster rolls will be on sale from 1 to 5 p.m. at the church, so as not to interfere with the fair.
Welcome to Rose Tucker of Glens Falls, N.Y., who is spending three great weeks here visiting her son, Peter Tucker, and his family, as well as daughter, Connie Hyde and her lovely girls, Nahani, age six, and Amaya, age two-and-a-half. Rose has been on Island many times before but knows this is the best time of year. All her grandchildren are delighted with her visit.
Welcome Nonna! John Doyle of White Plains and West Tisbury very kindly drove my mom, Iole Gardella, to the Island yesterday, on his birthday, no less. Amber Willoughby wasted no time getting over to visit with Nonna. Meanwhile, Paul and Marge Hows said goodbye to their granddaughter, Bridget Slomka, from Goodyear, Ariz., yesterday and are preparing to welcome daughter, Julia, son in law Javier, and grandkids, Aidan and Olivia, today.
School’s out! So Bridget Slomka, granddaughter of Marge and Paul Howes of Vineyard Haven, wasted no time getting on a plane from Phoenix and heading to Logan, where Paul met her and brought her down to the Island last night. Bridget had spent one year here in the Tisbury School before moving to Kentucky, now to Arizona, so she is looking forward to connecting with her old young friends.
Yay, Bruins! We sweated that one out. I happen to know that a very creative neighbor of mine, Joe Cormier, handmade a replica of the Stanley Cup and has had it in his front window in preparation for the championship. So we actually have the Stanley Cup on Island now.
