It’s Happening in Dorchester

Good-bye Mother’s Day. Good-bye Memorial Day Weekend. Good-bye to so many of our friends who have gone north for the summer months. We miss you already. Hello to the many people and things we have not been able to get to, but now is the time.

We are working on our community to beautify it and repair that which needs some work as a result of years of our traffic. The roads on Lawson and Judson Circles are being repaved so that cracks and holes will be a thing of the past. It would be nice if we could do the same for our bodies. Oh well!

Harvey and I spent Mother’s Day in NJ with our daughter, Tracy, and her family. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading her work, she is an award-winning national humor columnist who writes her column each week in over 400 U.S. newspapers. While there, I told her we would be coming back up north for the summer to spend more time with her, her family and siblings. At that point she was told me how every summer they have this duck couple who come up to their pool. They named the couple Loretta and Larry Mallardstein. The same ducks come up every single year. So my daughter decided that they must be “snow birds” who fly up from Florida and make their summer residence here in their pool. She said that “we much prefer having our parents come from Florida because they do not poop in the pool!”

And so everyone should be excited if they are flying north and being with those they love during the summer. And for the many of you who remain here in Aberdeen … do whatever pleases you most.

Before I say “Good-bye” for the summer I would like to quote Andy Rooney, once again: “I’ve learned that it’s the small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.”

So take each day one day at a time and we wish you all a spectacular summer. All Dorchester Happenings will all be here again to celebrate life with you in the fall.
