Thank you for visiting with me and more thanks for reminding me that the Vineyard is a special place. It is a place where you will find kindness from all your neighbors, understanding from your bosses, friendship from the teachers of your children, companionship with your Parish priest. We are always there for each other in good times and certain horrific moments that occur in any town. Every day for 30 years I have been sure to drive by a beach or see a glimpse of our beautiful ocean in all seasons. It helps me to remember that yes, life is good and I am fortunate to live in this incredible community. Thanks for reminding me, Jeanie. Gratefully,<br /><br /><br />Nancy ClarkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-29335556217027348262016-09-21T22:37:25.305-04:002016-09-21T22:37:25.305-04:00Dear Bella Rum - That little shack you remember is...Dear Bella Rum - That little shack you remember is now a guest house in the back yard of a good friend of ours.

As you could see, our summers are full of constant work. It was a pleasure to show you around our beautiful Island. The "Campgrounds' so familiar to me certainly must sound odd to those who are not familiar. The "Boston Pops" have appeared at the Tabernacle and so many other great orators. I appreciate my home a bit more now after reading through your description of your visit and the lovely comments made by many. We have lived on this little piece of heaven for over thirty years. It is here where we had our one and only child - Katie. A true Islander, born and bred. However, at 25 she is in Grad School in Boston. I am happy she moved on but the Island is home. We are all a close-knit group on Martha's Vineyard. I have so many wonderful friends and have known all of my daughters friends since birth. It is truly a blessed place to live. Full or art and wonderment. I discovered my own love of the arts here and Katie is quite a famous Island actress in our theaters. So happy you enjoyed your stay but there is so much more to see and take in with awe. I hope you and Rick will return. I love your pics and description of my art. Thank you for loving it so much. Ahoy - Nancy<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-72830221974260490652016-09-09T11:52:11.616-04:002016-09-09T11:52:11.616-04:00Happy Pink Saturday, Jeanie.
