Show of hands, please...

As of 2 am today, Daylight Savings Time has ended.  If you have not already done so... please turn your clocks BACK an hour.  An hour more sleep!

The local newscaster where i am mistakenly told everyone to turn their clocks forward an hour.  So now there are people all over the place who are 2 HOURS EARLY for everything.

Remember, it's:

Fall BACK
       and
Spring AHEAD

when it comes to Daylight Savings...

{i changed all the clocks i could reach in my house, but there are two that i can't change by myself.  So depending on what room i'm in in my house - the time is drastically different.  It's like living in the Twilight Zone.  Who's with me?  Show of hands, please?}

On the move...

Hi folks

Nancy Connelly has moved back to Nashua for a while while she looks for another room-mate situation.  She would like everyone to know that she is no longer in Mont Vernon.  She does not know how long she will be in Nashua - it might be a good chunk of time, or it may go by much more quickly - so, until further notice, please use her Nashua contact info.

If you need her Nashua address or phone number, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks!

Kendra's Surgery

Hi folks!

More Kendra news...

About a week and a half ago, Kendra had some surgery.  I don't have details as to what it was about.  I do know that it was successful, she was super-brave, and after just a few days in the hospital, she is now home.

She would *love* to have cards sent to her!  Can you just imagine Kendra and an over-flowing mailbox?  Priceless...

So please email me directly for Kendra's address.  I would be happy to share with you.

We love you, Kendra!  Stay well!

Halloween...

Did everyone have a good one?

Did anyone dress up?

What's your favorite trick-or-treat candy?

I'm curious to see how people spent their Halloween, so do share stories!

I've heard that there was a folly of sorts in Amherst on Halloween weekend.  I don't have ANY of the details, so if someone could fill me in, I would really appreciate it.  Makes it a lot easier to post about an event if there's something to write about... hahaha.

Seriously though, any info would be good...  I know there are a lot of Jabberwockians connected in the Amherst-y area nowadays.  I'd rather have repeat info than nothing at all...

Waiting...

Jabberwocky love,

Movin' On Up...

Stefanie Sacks has officially moved into her own condo in Peabody.  She is adjusting slowly but surely.  I'm sure her dog, Coco, is also doing some adjusting to his new environment.

Please email either me or Stefanie directly if you would like her new mailing address.

I've heard that Stefanie is already having weekend company, and enjoying time spent with friends. 

Congratulations, Stefanie!

Mike's Play goes public...

another update from Maggie Raemer....

===========================

The other exciting adventure I had this month was when a bunch of July


counselors took a road trip to Williamstown, MA. Our very own, Mike

Leon wrote a play called, Ghost in the Machine which was begin

performed at Williams College. The play was amazing and it was great

to see it, visit Williams, and hang out with the cast! We were all

very impressed with Mike's play-writing talents.

=========================================

So Mike, CONGRATULATIONS on your play!  it's amazing that you wrote one, first of all... not very many people can do that ...

and then that it actually was PERFORMED?  Kudos to you, my friend!  I hope you know that those us who weren't there with you to watch the performance still support your talents, abilities, and courage.

Congrats again!

Jabberwocky love,

Kendra's Columbus Day Weekend

a note from our own Maggie Raemer about a fun-filled long weekend with Kendra.  Sounds like everyone had a blast!

======================================

Over Columbus Day weekend i had the pleasure of being with


Kendra all weekend while her mom was in California and her dad was

working. We had a BLAST! I stayed at her house the first night, of

course we took a trip to the Cape Cod Mall, visited Sal, Ron and

Jackie at Hannoush Jewelers {on a personal note, i wish i could have been there to watch these interactions - faith!)  

and had a delicious dinner at TGIFridays!


On Saturday we drove to Boston and she got to see my dorm room and

meet some of my new friends at BU. We went out for a delicious lunch,

too! On Sunday we woke up and went out to breakfast with Peter,

Kaitlin, Alex, Caroline, Samantha and Larkin! Then, we hung out at my

house before going to Sully's house for a visit. (We even got to see

the baby's very cute pink nursery!) We played some band hero, and of

course went out for some Mexican food! Monday we got up early and

went to King Richard's Fair in Carver, MA... we had a great time,

Kendra went on rides and even got her face painted like a puppy. We

went to the Tiger show and saw dancers and a magician. All in all, it

was a very fun weekend!

=======================================

Sounds a lot better than the way i spent *my* Columbus Day weekend!  You go, Kendra!  Thanks for the update, Maggie!

November...

you know that saying, "it never rains, but it pours?"

well - for a while there wasn't anything of note to post on the blog (at least not stuff that people were telling *me*) and now?  KA-BLAM!

Tons of stuff.

So one at a time.  Here we go.

Jabberwocky love,
