Welcome back Kate.
Ditto that, welcome back. It's been a rough go for you this year, thanks for all you continue to do on behalf of the natives.
Ripplewood is booking guests, and River Inn, and we had what seemed like a lot of traffic on the road yesterday, even a line at the deli by the PO. There's a wedding group in town through the weekend. Pretty exciting to see the happy faces of brave strangers hereabouts and at long last, and to hear once more, "You live here? It's paradise!" I've missed that. I greet them with boisterous howdies and welcome as if they'd just paddled on to the shore of the island where I've been stranded bearing news of the outside world and rescue. Well, they have. Library Jenna brought me a chicken from town on her last trip in, exquisite treat. Getting so sick of salami and cheese and cans of sardines. We're going to have a fabulous spring and summer.
Welcome back Kate,we've missed you, but hey, you do have a life!
Just sorry it's been a tough one lately. My condolences.
Saw two huge garbage trucks here this morning.
