Since I am writing this
on Mother’s Day, I hope all you wonderful mothers had a
lovely day and were able to relax and be honored by your families!
Happy Mother’s Day to Jane Kelly Williams.

Snowvillage Inn and
Max’s Restaurant and Pub is pleased to welcome the art of
Joyce Desmarais and Laura Thomson in the gallery for the months
of May and June. The SVI and Max’s Restaurant and Pub will
be reopening in June. Come join us Saturday, June 1st for Beverages
on the Porch. Now I know it really is spring with the porch open,
Jen.
Have you heard of the
neighborhood watch programs? It is basically people watching
out for their neighbors in case of a break-in. Are there signs
we could put up or stickers for our windows? I don’t know
how to go about it, but I think it is a great idea.
I had a recent deja-vu
incident happen to me last Friday. I am at this opening reception
for the Amesbury Educational Foundation in Amesbury, MA, where
I taught at the high school for 22 years. My great friend Patty
Hoyt (hello to her friend in Conway who reads this column) introduced
me to the Superintendent of the Amesbury School System, but I
didn’t actually catch his name. Well, I said I lived in
Eaton Center and he said, “Oh, I know the Road Agent up
there.” I was quite surprised that he would even know where
Eaton was, and I said “What? You know Stubby?” He
then added, “He’s my brother-in-law.” After I
picked myself up off the floor, I said, “You’re Jada’s
brother?” Indeed he was. If I had heard the name, I might
have pieced it together. So hello, Jada and Stubby, from Jared
Fulgoni.
I recently read Patricia
McMurry’s letter to the Editor entitled “A Window into
Notre Dame’s significance.” Her heartfelt emotional
response to the tragic fire at that gorgeous Cathedral in Paris
spoke volumes to me. I may not have visited her sister’s
small apartment in Paris, but I have been to Notre Dame many
times, and it never ceased to put me in awe. It is way more than
a beautiful church; it is a symbol of Paris and holds a dear
place in so many people’s hearts. A former student of mine
from Amesbury lives in Paris and I wrote how sad I was to see
that destruction. I’m so glad the two matching columns are
still upright, and my heart goes out to the French people. Vive
la Cathedrale de Notre Dame.
The next Eaton column
will be on Tuesday, June 4th, with the deadline for your news
on Sunday, June 2nd. Enjoy the spring!
