Dad and I were just saying at supper how much we miss you in Addison County, even though we weren't in your company all that much. How often will you be able to get to the Fairlee Free Library for Internet connection - or have you found another place to plug in? Your reports from the library were great fun.
Thanks for the photos. That's a spick and span kitchen 260 eaters! I'll be thinking of you.
Are you homesick? Do you remember the story about Patty's first time away at camp? a week at Tamarack Notch, a Girl Scout camp in Mendon. This is the one letter we had from her:
"Please send Kleenex.
The girl next to me gets a letter every day."
It was tortuous, I guess. She had a terrible cold, for one thing.
I know I said I was going to be better at tending to posting to this blog once the Rhubarb Festival was history, and I regret not having made good on that promise. The Festival was a huge success. When it was over I realized how much energy and time I had put into it. Now I've gone into resting mode, enjoying freer time.
We have been expecting to see or at least hear from Elena and haven't any clue as to what has detained her. She is supposed to be on the Aloha staff in some capacity and Marusa was to be a full-time camper at Hive. The last I heard from her she was off to be the keynote speaker at a conference in China - Shanghai, I think - but would be getting to this country 6/24, 25 for the summer at camp.
We are anxiously awaiting to hear that the sale of this house will go forward. We should have that word by the end of the week. We had supper on the deck tonight and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic as we took in the views. Speaking of homesick! But change is all about opportunity, right?!
Also, missing the grands. Four of them are in Addison County, at least. They aren't posting here either, so I'm not going to suffer from too much guilt.
Love and hugs,
Mom
