Well it is spring and fog season is here. People were in last week and asked me where the sun was because they had just left Vineyard Haven and the sun was shining. But this happens every year. We just wish maybe some year it would skip us.

Happy birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons go out to Ella Blodgett and Clara Rabeni who celebrated their day April 29; Ariel Meyer, April 30; and to Nicholas Rabeni, May 2; Paige Anderson May 3; and to Tayla BenDavid, Aleeya Holley and Hector Olivieira who all celebrate their day Friday May 5.

Linley Dolby was the guest of honor at a baby shower held at her home and hosted by her sister Shannon Dolby Smith. It was a great evening and filled with love and lots of friendship. Linley and her husband Dave are expecting a baby boy in June. He will certainly be well dressed and have every gadget he needs, but most of all he will be loved. We all can’t wait to meet the new baby Weagle.
