My tribe of turkeys continues to visit twice daily. I want to thank all of you who gave me advice on how to deal with Broken Wing. While I was never able to capture him and apply a sling I must say he is doing much better. His wing seems to have healed on its own. Lots of love and treats from us and he is good to go.

it was quite a northeaster last weekend with many canceled boats and empty shelves at the market.

I am pleased to announce that after a concentrated effort on the part of many volunteers the puppy Lexi has been found. She is safe and back in the arms of her family.

Our Vineyard Haven library will be open this Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. This marvelous off season event of being open on Sunday goes on through March. I’ll see you there.

Another place to meet up with me is at our annual LadyFest, hosted by the Ritz Cafe on Saturday, Oct. 19. The Circuit avenue festival raises money for our Connect to End Violence program of Martha’s Vineyard Community Services. The organization deals with domestic violence and sexual assault. Last year’s party raised $20,000 for this important cause. There will be an information table as well as great music and camaraderie.

Remember Clue? Don’t miss Clue Live at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum on Friday, Oct. 25 from 6 to 9 p.m. The admission price, $75 which gets you into Mr. Boddy’s Mansion. You will dine, get a card for two free drinks, and help solve a murder mystery. I am going as Nancy Drew.

Our hearts are with James Angier who posted a beautiful photo of his canine companion, Hope. Hope passed early this week. I know they gave their best to each other.

With great sadness I must tell you that good friend, family man, and loyal Mason, Bob C. Corr has passed. Bob was one of the first people I met on the Island. I am unsure of his services at this time. Condolences to all his family and friends.

Get well wishes to Karen Gerlach who is recovering from shoulder surgery. I ran into her, bright and sunny as usual, at our bank yesterday. She is able to drive again.

The birthday bandwagon pulled along Tammy Morrison Glen on Oct. 7; Oct. 8th was claimed by Gwendolyn Carrie Sampson Natusch; Theophilus Nix celebrated on Oct. 12; artist Colin Ruel partied on Oct. 15; Steffie Elliott observed Oct. 16; and on Oct. 17 Deidre Lynch takes the cake. Many happy returns.
