Thank you for writing, Annie and Wendy - I am so sorry to hear this terribly sad news. Rona was so loved ...

Thanks for updating the link, Mark.

Mona
Saturday, November 08, 2014 at 14:54:30 (PST)
I updated the link below to Rona's GoFundMe page. Looks like it is getting close. Maybe some Facebookers will share the link there. I won't be able to make it back east this weekend, but my thoughts are with you, Rona.
Mark
Saturday, November 08, 2014 at 13:20:48 (PST)
RIP Rona. Your spunk and energy will be missed.
Happy Birthday to The Seattle Twins! And to those I missed, maybe next year!

Mark
Friday, November 07, 2014 at 13:41:30 (PST)
Sadness with Rona's passing, but still we celebrate more joyous events in the family:

Happy Birthday a few days ago to Joey...wherever you are! I am sure you celebrated in your own unique way.

Happy birthday to Mark (A) two days ago, all the way across the world in India. Happily, you had Melinda and Seth to celebrate with you.

And today we celebrate two most wonderful young women - Miranda and Ana. Enjoy yourself in whatever way makes you happiest.

I am proud to be part of this crazy crowd.

As some of you mat be aware family member Rona Watts passed away yesterday at her home, after a tragic accident on October 27th. Our hearts are heavy and full of saddness. God has gained another angel. I have attached a link for her go fund me account, if there's anything any of you can help with it would mean so much to the family in this time of need.

I had a picnic with Jerry today at the cemetery in Newton. Very peaceful. At the boat with brother Mark trying to beat the storms....we took the sails down in the dark and windy night...very adventurous. Celebrating now (at midnight) with dark and stormies...and it is!

Thinking of Rona and remembering all the dancing and laughter on Gardner Street. Peace to her and all who love her.

Belated happy birthday wishes for you (((Sophie))) -- I'm so glad you get to have your Jerome with you! I hope this is a year of health and happiness for you, and that I get to see you at least once!

On this dark, rainy autumn night, I'm sending thoughts and prayers for (((Rona and her family))) (which is all of us). And I am sadly marking the 45th anniversary of our great loss of Jerry. I believe he watches us and blesses us as we go about our lives. We are not without him, it's just more distant. His spirit still resides within us, I know.

We had fun last night getting dinner on the table and lamb chops on the grill, all by candle light because Northampton was dark. It seems a squirrel had sabotaged a major transformer. Steve, Scott, Paula, Athena and Emily joined us in the Christmassy atmosphere for a couple of hours until National Grid restored the power. Fortunately, Steve had just finished baking some delicious brownies when the "lights out" started.

Let me say what an amazing time I had sailing in Narragansett Bay with my brothers and sisters, with a great overnight docking in Bristol Harbor. (And yes, the kids of Bristol are sharp as a pistol, when they do the Bristol Stomp!) The only way the adventure could have been any better was if we had had Steve along with us...next time?

Athena and I have been having a fun, travel intensive visit over the past 12 days, from Vancouver to the north to Vancouver to the south, from sea to shining sea...we checked in on Kate and Chris Layne in Silverton, OR. Kate has a new hobby/vocation of selling treasures at a stall in an antiques mall.

On Thursday we'll pack up and fly to Massachusetts, whence more visiting will commence.

Scott's new car is beautiful. Steve,I want to hear more about your "tiny little P.O. box..." It must be cramped in there! Having no startling news of my own I'll report Jeff's: he has a job, to start soon. So many endings and beginnings! M, M, M and P: Happy sailing tomorrow.

So Miranda and Paul and Rachel will have one more day in Williamstown, and they welcome visitors there. Then they'll be taking a train to get to Boston where, again, they would love to meet up. Miranda's phone number (she gave it here) is the best way to get a hold of her if you want. Betsy and Josh will be leaving Georgia tomorrow and arriving at their new apartment in Newton on Friday afternoon. I'm holding steady. Steady as she goes. Dropped a pot on my foot 3 weeks ago, and am still pretty hobbled. That's about it. Would love to hear from you all. Love,
Mona

...and still I will persevere. It's a beautiful sunny day in the Great Pacific Northwest, after a spate of rain last week. Miranda, Paul and Rachel leave at midnight tonight. Paul and Rachel spent the weekend here, delivering their pets to us and attending the wedding of 2 old friends in Poulsbo. I had a job interview at the bakery of our favorite local grocery store last week, and hope to hear positive results on Tuesday. Betsy and Josh will be traveling northward later in the week, moving in to their new quarters over the weekend. Hope you are well - feel free to let me know what's up. Please. Dad, I sent you an email, hope you got it. Love you all,

Odd pattern. Obviously none of these interlopers are really reading here, but they must derive some benefit from posting. 3 short sentences, a comment about an article or post, ending with a superlative. I suspect it's going to be hard to figure out a way to squelch this. Hope it's not the final stroke that fells the MessageBoard.

Here we are at the cabin...we being Scott, Athena, Jessamyn, Melinda and me. Nice and cool. Great company. Great music (ours). Delicious food. Fun games and 3d jigsaw puzzle. Wish you were here...but not you spammers!

Paul, Rachel and I will be in Massachusetts in just over a week. We will be in Williamstown for the first few days, and then in Boston for the last few. We won't have a car, but would love to meet up with anyone who can manage the trip to the city! You can message me on Facebook or call 360-908-0004. :)

Athena and I are here in Berea. We drove all the way from Northampton yesterday, got in late, checked into a motel, and met up with Rex and Grace today. They are looking great. Tomorrow we'll go out for a birthday dinner with them in Richmond, then on to NC. Save us a place at the cabin!

Thank you so much, my loving family. I did indeed have a wonderful birthday. It started around midnight with champagne in the hot tub, then on to blessed sleep, a delicious breakfast with Athena and Jessamyn, my ritual purge of 61 pieces of clothing (thanks Athena!), enjoying my screened deck, admiring my newly planted vegetable garden (thank you Melinda and Jess), and of course sharing a lobster feast with all three of these lovely woman and one lovely man (Seth). Oh, and I enjoyed all the cyber birthday wishes (and sailing images) from my siblings and parents. A very happy day.

It's Paula's birthday and I know for a fact that she's taking the day off to celebrate. I also know that Mark A. is flitting around the country on business and will be missing some family occasions.
Paula, I hope your day (and year) will have lots of lobster, hot tub soaks and and some nice surprises.

Ramona, the Mama

Sadly, my rainbow text generator site seems to have gone missing, so this will be a plain old black and white deal.

Wishing my dear Jessamyn a very happy 34th birthday - can that be?? I know Betsy is psyched to be sharing a grad school with you, and hopefully you guys will find that your schedules will allow your paths to cross often. Hope you're having a wonderful day - wish you all the best! hugs and kisses from me ...

Happy for the enthusiasm, but she hasn't decided on which of the schools she'll end up at. This weekend she's visiting AU (American University) in Washington DC to see what's up with that program. Then there's the comparing financial aid options, housing costs, what each program will lead to in terms of job possibilities, etc. Good to have options, for sure.

I sent a message for posting on this board a few hours ago announcing Paula's arrival in Logan airport, but the message didn't make it for some reason. Anyway, she's safely back from her trip to India and we're all anxious to hear all about it. Welcome home, Paula!

A call from Jess tells me that Paula has safely landed in Boston and Melinda is there to meet her. We're anxious to hear all about it. Welcome home, Paula!

Happy Birthday Athena! Why am I just now realizing that all of my mother's daughters were born in spring, and her sons in Autumn? Congratulations to Mom, too!

Happy birthday, ATHENA. I hope you're having a great day and are appreciating being appreciated. I'll see you quite soon; we'll catch up with any birthday spankings I owe you at that time.

Happy Birthday, baby sister! I traveled all the way to India so I could be the first to send you this wish....but then realized too late that this would mean I was not going to be there in person to share this glorious day with you! I am there in spirit, as I always will be. I love you, 'Thena Bean!

Greetings from sunny Florida, but I won't annoy you by comparing the weather with that of MA. I am enjoying being with Jill and Don and being able to go for a walk! . Tomorrow is March, so surely the snow storms in NE will soon stop. OH. I wasn't going to talk about the weather. So I'll just way hello to anyone reading this page and go back to "vacating".

Okay, I will chime in. My nieces and nephews are all amazing; Dental school, grad school, nursing school, world traveling, turning 21, doing well in college, making music, photographing, technologizing, dating great people...I could not be prouder. Melinda is working hard (doing well) and Jess is working hard (and also doing well) in grad school. Mark A. is in India where it is not cold and snowy, and I will be visiting him in 5 days.... But brother Mark is visiting and I will miss him again? No fair. When I come back to the U.S. of A. Spring had best have sprung.

It was good to have Joe here for part of the winter...he is now back to work in North Carolina. We finally got to see some of his pics from Nepal, India and Thailand. Pretty amazing. Hopefully he will get the pics uploaded to jdstylos.com for everybody to see. Meanwhile, we are still enjoying the company of Jeff, Faren, and Melissa. Melissa is finishing up the first stage of Nursing training this semester and will probably go on to get an advanced degree. Pam is also finishing up school this semester and will be looking for a job. And we get to see Mark S. next week!

Keep on writing, Mona. Some people check in to see what other people are doing yet feel like there's not enough happening in their (our) life to write about.
Congratulations to Betsy on her first acceptance. I think she should also be congratulated for finishing the task of sending in (and paying for) SIX applications! I feel sure the right path will open up for her.

Wow, really? No one has anything to say? This has been such an important place for me, to get to keep up with what's going on. I'll just keep putting my stuff out there, if you don't mind.

Miranda did her interview for Dental school last week, and will have to wait another week or two to learn the results. Betsy is starting to hear back from graduate schools (she applied to 6) - So far one yes (American University) and one no (U of Illinois). Paul took a trip today - to South Carolina to spend some time with Betsy as she finishes up her job at the farm. She was without power for 5 days after last week's crazy southern weather, followed by (of all things) an earthquake. And I'm still looking for a job. Meh. Love to all.
