Ladyfest. What can I say about the best Island event of the year?

My tribe of turkeys continues to visit twice daily.

I am sure you all rejoiced with me for our Pats win Sunday. Now on to the Giants Thursday night. Look out, Marilyn Van Tine!

Seniel Hannigan, the talented proprietor of Circuit Style, had her two young boys at a playground on-Island last weekend.

Nothing celebrates September like being invited to my friends, Bob and Elaine Klein, for dinner and a sunset view from the Lagoon.

There is nothing more delightful than friends from my Old Country visiting on Martha’s Vineyard and treating me to cocktail hour at Sharkey’s in Edgartown.

I need your help in my neighborhood with two missing kitties.

Deep breath. I know summer is not officially over. But our large summer influx is.

Last Sunday morning a very beautiful woman was on her run around West Chop when she stopped to inquire about the flock of turkeys in my yard.

Suellen Lazarus, director of our Chilmark Book Festival, must be proud of me. I headed to the famous Bunch of Grapes, where Bill Clinton was spied shopping this week, and bought four new books, all by Island authors. I shall be carrying them around with me everywhere like a schoolkid until I run into each author and get them signed. Three are poetry. One is Skip Finley’s new Historic Tales of Oak Bluffs.

By the way, Skip and Bow Van Riper are holding a Q&A on Skip’s new book this Saturday, August 24, at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum from 9:30 a.m. until noon.
