Dear Rose,
It is Saturday and I am working a half-day and looking at the Lantern Site. Just have to write and tell you what an outstanding job you do. Thank you so much for all the work you have put into the site. Oh those leaves and autumn in the air there is nothing like FALL in New England. I love it. Right now it is pouring out. However, we have had some cool fall days and perfect for sweater weather. That reminds me does anyone else want to go out in September and buy new clothes as in going back to school. I love buying new fall sweaters and clothes as it is my favorite season and reminds me of my days in Revere and going to school.
I’m sure 90 degree weather can get depressing. Ha Ha. Really…my sister lives in Ormond Beach and she says that September is usually the hottest month which makes sense, as the earth heats up and the sun so it is too bad we could not transfer some of that up here as we never got a summer this year. The Fall is supposed to be cold. Oh well, my saying is “It is what it is”.
I was so sorry to miss getting together with everyone in May, but my oldest sister turned 80 and we had a big surprise party for her that day and my youngest son, Tim was home and his girlfriend, Amy came for the first time to Foxboro, so we had a great weekend as it included Mother’s Day.
I love reading the Blog and seeing pictures of everyone. Dora, Leatrice, Billy Cataldo, Anne and Jackie, etc. Janice Scandone….please say hi to her for me. I believe you see her periodically.
I am enclosing a check to help pay for some of the equipment you have purchased so that we can all benefit from our wonderful site and to help you with all your hard work.
Where has Estella traveled this summer? A week in Newport….loved it. Very relaxing which I needed and then I spend 6 days going, staying and coming home from P.E.I.
Three of us drove up and I have to tell you P.E.I. is a beautiful place. We stayed at an Inn and went to a Retreat. So it was very rejuvenating. The family that held the retreat are amazing. A father and three children, one daughter, three sons.
They just built a new Concert Hall and give concerts on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. Their Christian Music is great and they are all very talented.
We toured some of the Island and went to Ann of Green Gables. Very interesting. We ate at some outstanding restaurants and found a great Tea House. I never realized the water was so warm there but it is and the beaches are beautiful. A very big Scottish influence. As you know….travel is my passion. So this was unexpected and very enjoyable.
Well, I am rambling and will sign off for now. Keep up the GREAT, GREAT WORK WE ALL LOVE WHAT YOU DO.
Love,
Estella (Follett) Pohner
Estella,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise to receive your letter and I thank you for your kind words and generous monetary gift but that was not necessary.
I get such great pleasure posting everyone's stories and pictures. Yes, I do spend a lot of time on The Lantern and creating graphics makes me happy if others enjoy it too.
I was so hoping to see you at the last luncheon but your family comes first of course.
Hopefully, we will do it again next May or whenever I find a cheap airfare to fly up again. I miss you guys!
I think of you everyday that I mark an appt. in the daytimer calendar you sent to me last year! You are so thoughtful.
Sounds like you had a great time at P.E.I.
So, you have not retired yet I see if you are in work on a Saturday!
So great to hear from you!
Hugs,Rose
Estella, it was so nice to be hearing from you again. Sounds as if you had some nice vacation time this year.
ReplyDeletePlease stay in touch with us. You were off-line way too long....
Hi Estella: Glad to hear you are doing good. It sounds like you had a nice vacation this year. I have never been to P.E.I. I will have to add that to my list of places to visit.
ReplyDeleteGood hearing from you. Keep in touch.
Janice
