Well, it has been another week of estimates on chimney cleaning, asbestos removal, oil heat versus gas conversion, and paint jobs. Feels like spring cleaning! Oh, yeah, then I’ll have that to do also. Everyone has been very kind and helpful down here. I took a break from all the paperwork and made it to Dunne’s Pub for Irish music night on Wednesday. Brian Conway’s band did its usual fine performance, but I truly missed seeing my young nephew, Jonathan Gardella, play the violin with the band. Jonathan has moved to Fort Myers, Fla. I did see Heather, his violin teacher who is a band member. Do you know she is giving Jonathan violin lessons on Skype? It’s a miracle.
Much as I love being with Iole, I wish we both were on Island for two of our favorites, Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, in a free film at our Vineyard Haven library on Sunday, March 28 at 2 p.m. The Audrey Hepburn film festival continues on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. with another classic.
