An antidote to homesickness


















Good Morning!

Since both of you have complained lately about being homesick, your dad suggested that we set up a sandspit blog, with pictures, observations, and occasional bits of humor, and then, since we know the other residents like my photos, we can just let them listen in.

Connie Furlong has frequently suggested that if we had a newsletter it should be entitled "As the Spit Turns" so that's what we're calling it (Thanks, Connie!) Hopefully this will NOT mean the blog has a soap-operatic tone...

I believe we should begin as we mean to continue, so to celebrate the dawn of this new era, I am offering a a couple of my favorite photos from this winter. As Joanna's phone message says, "Here it comes!" Or maybe I should quote Mrs. Doubtfire: "Brace yourself, Effie!"
