It's been a beautiful day here - finally! We have more nice days ahead for a stretch. We got more rail last night. I measured .85 inch this morning. I think we may be past the danger of a frost now.

I had an email from Marti Talbot today letting us know that she and David will be occupying their little cottage - Camp Sylvia - this summer. The long flight of steps to the main cottage are more than David can manage right now, and Camp Sylvia is all on one floor - much easier for both of them. Family was on hand this week to help them get moved in and they will be cozy there for the summer. Marti also wanted to let people know that cell service in their area is so spotty they have installed a land line at  Camp Sylvia. The number, 802-563-5010, is now listed in the on-line directory. Mark your new directories, Joe's Pond Association members. 

Which reminds me, get in touch with Joanne Stewart if you didn't get your newsletter of the new directory. Her email is verthai@gmail.com. Also, if you haven't paid your dues, you can do that on line with your credit card. Go to home page on the website and follow the directions there. 

We just found out tonight that our granddaughter Jo-Ann will be transferring to the University of Texas in Austin this fall. She is delighted that she was accepted at her first choice. She had two years at Dean College in Franklin, MA and says she really wanted to go someplace warmer. I expect she won't be disappointed on that score. She is growing up altogether too quickly.

Our younger grand, Tangeni, was excited tonight that she learned to ride a scooter AND got the training wheels off her bike. Her dad better get his Harley tuned up and ready if he wants to be able to keep up with her this summer, I'm thinking. She's a pistol. She said he's "the best dad ever," and they have a tight bond, I know. She may join him in the car business, who knows? 

We hope everyone is able to take advantage of the nice stretch of weather ahead. We can't be sure what the summer ahead holds for us, so enjoy it while you can!
