Yesterday was our own new holiday, Tulip Day at the Mansion. Connie loved hers, and even had a vase to put it in, something I didn’t think of when I bought a bouquet of tulips and passed them out to the beautiful people who live at the Mansion. It was great fun, brightened the afternoon. (If you wish,  you can write Connie at ll S. Union Street, Cambridge, N.Y. I think she would appreciate your letters, she has had to halt her knitting because of the warmer weather, she does not have enough energy to do both.)

Red and I passed out a dozen tulips.

Also, we are raising money for a new printer for the Mansion Activity Room, the printer helps the residents to share their art, letters and also is essential for Julie Smith, the tireless Mansion Activity Director. Printers are not expensive now, they range from $40 to $90, if one includes cartridges. I will hand the money over to Julie so she can purchase the ones she needs (she was too shy to ask for help, the residents told me.)

I’ve already got 40, so we don’t need much more for this one. If you wish to contribute a small amount,  you can sent a check to Mansion Printer, P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816 or use Paypal Friends And Family, mark it Mansion Printer, my Paypal ID is [email protected].

Don’t send too much, we don’t need much, and if there is any shortfall, I’ll make it up and if there is any overage, it will go towards the Mansion Activity Fund. Thanks much.
