Who doesn’t love daffodils? Now is the time. The annual delivery of daffodils and fundraiser for the American Cancer Society will be on Island next week. Volunteers will deliver the presales on Tuesday. The rest of us may pick up beautiful bouquets on Wednesday, March 16 at 10 a.m. at Cronig’s Market in Vineyard Haven or at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital cafeteria, until all bouquets are sold out. I expect every home and office will be blooming by Thursday.
I have gotten some wonderful feedback on my list of horrible commercials. How did one escape my attention? Now I see this strongman saying: “First I lift things up, then I put them down.” It is so obnoxious, I think he should marry the Progressive Insurance lady.
This is a long-delayed Valentine card to my friends, the manager, Liza Buckley, and the staff at Cumberland Farms. What would I do without these people? They make my every waking day wonderful; visiting in the morning is my social hour, along with the usual suspects who show up for coffee and a newspaper. The crew is friendly, helpful, cheerful and caring. Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!
The gossip columnist is the last to know. What’s going on with my favorite clock, It’s Time to Read, now stuck in the 2:15 position in front of the old Bunch of Grapes building? Will it be moved across the street? Will it be reset in it’s current position? Inquiring minds want to know.
Pamela Brock and her friend Docia Reed, both neighbors in Waltham, spent a glorious week over the Fourth visiting Pam’s mom, Leigh Smith. The weather was perfect, yet hot, as you well know. The ladies got plenty of things done and caught up with Pam’s friends. They were delighted to be hosted by Leigh. Look for Pam’s return in August.
