Once again, our week was sunny and warm during the day. But when the sun goes down it is best to have a jacket or sweatshirt available. With the weather threatening freezing temperatures, and some places snow, it is time to put the hoses away after having to water with the past warm weather. Now we just have to deal with the leaves.
Happy Birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons go out to Victoria Cezario, Michael Leahy, Sophia Dos Santos, Alice Martins, Rahjae Hall, Helena Da Silva, Addison Kral and Juliet Merrill who all celebrated their day this past week.
The Edgartown School performed the production of Beetlejuice Jr. The production of this play was amazing and proved that we have some very talented young people. The great part of the play was that it involved all the children from kindergarten to the eighth grade.
Of course, it was all made possible by teachers, and technical crew and of course costumes creators to make it all come together. They also had Andrew Kober who is a veteran performer, who has appeared in 11 Broadway productions and was a standby for Beetlejuice himself on Broadway, work directly with the cast. It was a great play, and I look forward to more productions.
With this past week being Veterans Day, it is a great opportunity to remind you all why I close with “keep the home candles burning.” At Christmas time when my parents put the candles in the windows, they always put a white light in the window on the right side of the sidewalk. Being young I asked why they put all different colors in the other windows and a boring white one in that window. They explained to me that with both my brothers being away in the service, this white light was there to guide them home safely.
So, to this day, I keep a white light in my window because there are many men and women serving our country near and far, and I wish them a safe return home to their loved ones.
Thank you to all who served our country and keep us safe and free.
Have great week and keep the home candles burning.
