In a thrift shop in Bennington, I saw this vintage necklace on sale for $8 and decided to buy it for Peggie, a resident of the Mansion Assisted Care Facility. She is heading to Cuba tomorrow, thanks to a miracle gift from an anonymous angel.
The very kind person working at Second Hand Rose, a thrift store in Bennington, donated the necklace, she wouldn’t accept payment.
I told this lovely person that I can just picture Peggie dancing on some dance floor in Cuba, I had no doubt she would be doing that, and Peggie nearly wept with joy at the necklace, she couldn’t wait to try it on.
She said she would be the first one up to do the cha-cha. She loves to dance.
She will, too. She is ready to go. Have a great trip, Peggie, we love you. Dance your heart out.
The spirit lives in her, strong and loud. Peggie never gives up on live, she lives it to the fullest every day.
Wow…what an adventure! One of my friends just returned from Cuba and she loved her time there. About new blog format- I love the way the pictures display in this new format…and it is much easier to read on my laptop and my android.
The necklace is almost as beautiful as that smile!
Jon, I love the new format of the blog. It looks great on my iPad!
It’s unfortunate that in fixing the photo sizing for mobile display, they’ve wrecked it for desktop. It’s impossible to see the full photo in a single frame without scrolling. Manix should know better and should make this site truly responsive without charging more (if that’s what they led you to believe they would do).
That’s not my experience Andar. I see the full photo in a single frame on my desktoop without scrolling at all. I haven’t heard of anyone who has had your experience. I’ll look for their comments.
I too have to scroll to see the full photo. Other than that, the new format looks great.
Thanks, I’m very pleased with the format, I don’t think we can please everyone, alas.
Jon, I was wondering if people at the Mansion would still like pretty stationery? I’m slow about rounding things up and mailing them, but I may be able to do it in the next few weeks. And where should I send it, if it’s wanted?
Ronna, they always like pretty stationery, thanks…I’ll give it to Sylvie..you can send it to me. Jon Katz, P.O.Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816..thanks.
