According to my calendar it is only June. However, I think someone forgot to tell the weather gods that heat waves are in July and August. We have been in oh my god weather for three days and I personally am done. I watch channel 4 news and according to Barry Burbank this is the first time in weather history, as far as they can look back, that we have had two heat waves before Fourth of July. Also, he is predicting 14 heat wave days this summer, and in the past four years he has been right.

Happy Birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons go out to Rose Levesque who celebrated June 10.

Congratulations to all the graduates of Martha’s Vineyard High School class of 2017. Social media has had so many pictures of graduation, be it proud parents, grandparents, or siblings. The pictures have been great and you can see how proud everyone is. Good luck to all in the next stage of your life.
