FYI

I just want to let you know about Caryl Jones.  She had a rather BIG accident in her yard and shattered her right shoulder. She is having surgery tomorrow, Tues., to have her shoulder replaced. Her shoulder was so messed up there was nothing to attach a pin or anything.

 

She has asked me and I am also asking you to NOT call her. She is in so much pain her sleep is totally disrupted as she only gets an hour here and there.  Terry Miller will be looking after her when she comes home from the hospital. She is hoping to make the functions the following wk, spaghetti feed and picnic so please plan on seeing and talking to her then.  She will have a yr of rehab to look forward to after her surgery. If you would like to send her a card her address is: 1472 E Shoreview Dr., Freeland, WA 98249.

 

I look forward to seeing you on Whidbey - if you have any questions, comments, concerns please email me or call me (206-526-0918 Sea - Cell 206-334-0918 or my Whidbey # 360-331-3522 I'll be up on WHidbey starting next Sun the 6th)

 

We all wish Caryl well and look forward to her having a speedy recovery.  Thanks   Jane

UPDATE ON PICNIC

 

The picnic is on Thurs., Sept 10th, at the Villa Luna. The address is 6066 Moonrise Lane, Freeland, Wa. If you'd like to look it up go to www.Villa-Luna.com. The picnic starts about 11 AM or so, cause after all we need our beauty sleep. It's potluck and a $10 donation will be appreciated. You turn off the highway onto Double Bluff Rd. (for those of you heading north that would be to the left) Go to Lancaster and turn right and then Moonrise Lane. The web page has a map.

 

Now on Wed. Sept 9th, the tour of Georgia Gerber's bronze sculptures will be at noon to 1 PM. We can meet up at Ken's Korner at the intersection of the main highway and Cultuss Bay RD. We'll meet in the parking lot about 11:30 AM and not leave till about 11:50 or so. The address for the house is 6790 Hegenes Rd., Clinton 98236. Her web site is www.gerber@Whidbey.com. 

 

Then we go to the spaghetti feed at Heike's house, whose address is 1873 Brainers Rd., Freeland 98249. Her ph # is 360-730-1688. That starts between 3 and 4 PM. Bring your favorite beverage and a little something for the lady turning 65 that day, but she doesn't want me to tell you that.

 

Hope to see some new faces and all of you old ones too while you can still get here. I have heard there will be shopping available so bring cash or check books.

 

For those of you who know Linda Seales, I just wanted to let you know she lost her husband, Don, from pancreatic cancer, on Apr. 19th, and then had her first grandchild, a boy, born on June 12th. Linda's email is www.linda.seales@yahoo.com. You're in my thoughts Linda.

Martha Casne, President

Karen Poland

Tom,
You may be on vacation, but when you get this note, would you post the information about Karen Poland on Seabuds.  I can't remember if I asked you to do that in my note, but I think that is the only way the info will be spread to the Seattle domicile.  The www.caringbridge.com website will show pictures, and share stories about Karen, and it tells anyone what they need to know about her passing.  One must enter "karenpoland" (one word) in the left column on the opening page of the website.....

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone about the upcoming Whidbey Island Picnic and Layover (for some).

 

This year on Wed, Sept 9th, the spaghetti feed will once again be at Heike Cannon's house. This event usually gets going about 3-4PM, just bring your favorite beverage.  Her address is 1873 Brainers Rd, Freeland 98249. I won't include directions since you all have the capability of going to google maps. Her ph # is 360-730-1688. This yr, Sept 9th is also Medicare Day for Caryl Jones if you have anything you'd like to share with her.

 

We also are being given the opportunity to tour Georgia Gerber's home and garden. Georgia is a very well known Bronze sculptor, a couple of her works include the bronze pig at the Pike Place Mkt and in Langley the sculptor of the boy with his dog.  She has a web site www.georgiagerber.com . This has been set up for 12 - 1PM on Wed, the 9th. I haven't been there but have heard it is a fabulous display of her work which is throughout her garden and home. We thought we'd meet at Ken's Korner in the parking lot, which is located on the main highway. There is a red light there and the cross road is Cultass & Langley Rd.

 

The picnic is once again being held at Villa Luna which is where we have been for the past 2 yrs. This is a pot luck, which starts around 11 AM on Thurs, Sept 10th. I haven't heard for sure but I think there will be shopping available, great food, and even greater comraderie in a fabulous setting.  I look forward to seeing everyone again this yr and hope to get some new folks to attend. This event will have a $10 cover charge.

The villa is located off Double Bluff Rd.

 

I do know Caryl Jones has been setting up accommodations for many folks so you can relax, enjoy the events and spend some time with some good people. I'll send out another email about all this in a couple of wks. If you have any questions or comments please send them to me and I will do my best to answer you.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Here in Seattle, we've had a beautiful summer, except for that wk when we hit 103. That was nasty.

 

My life is settling down, I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I'd like to thank you for your cards and emails. I'm really looking forward to Terri Coyne arriving in town on Tues, the 18th, for 4 wks. Shortly after she arrives, Shari Pitt and Cathie Bieri will be arriving and you know there will be a game of cards, or two. I really need some R and R.

 

Take care everyone and hope to see you in Sept      Jane

My Dad's Birthday

My Dad recently celebrated his 90th birthday. My sister-in-law put together a photo album of his life and each of us contributed some of our favorite photos of our families and special times spent with Dad. A long time ago, he took one of my trips to Washington, DC. He loved it, the crew was wonderful to him, and I'll always cherish that special trip/layover. We haven't changed much, have we? Could those glasses get any bigger?? :)
