Ocean Point Column
December 23
By Maryellen Bertrand
Well, it’s official winter is here. We have had
2 snowstorms in the past week and the ski resorts are fully operational!
Julie Brown sent me a beautiful picture that
was taken down by the Inn after 22 inches of snow and Sue Goodrich posted some
awesome pictures of the snowstorm on the Blog as well. Ocean Point is so
different in winter and yet just as beautiful as in the summer season. I do
hope that these early storms are not an indication of what the rest of winter
will be like; if so it will be a long one. Although, if you participate in
outdoor activities as we do, it certainly helps to shorten the season.
An email from Dianne Eakin finds her quite busy
with her activities in sunny and very warm Florida. Dianne is singing in her
church choir, as well as playing tennis (and I’m sure some golf) and enjoying
the fabulous weather and the beach. Quite a contrast from the weather that we
are currently experiencing! But we are certainly happy that she is enjoying it
all.
Joan Fischer sent along some exciting news
regarding the recent wedding of Devon Demers and Rachael Jones. Joan reports
that it was a very beautiful and elegant wedding with many of Devon’s Ocean
Point childhood friends in attendance: Chris and Hannah Webber, Andrew and
Erica Dunlap (both of whom were recently married as well), Joan, Annie and Jake
Fischer, and Devon’s uncles and aunts and their families. Also in attendance were
Meredith McFall and her boyfriend Jim. Joan remarked at how quickly Devon and
his friends (and her own children) have grown up and how they have remained so
close, how great it is to have life long Ocean Point friends who become like
family. For me it was not so long ago that all of these young people were
marching in our 4th of July Horribles parade! Congratulations to
Devon and Rachael.
In other wedding news, Roseanne Bourassa sent
me an article from the N.Y.Times Fashion and Wedding section dated December 15.th.
It was a picture of Rev. Peter Panagore presiding over the nuptials of a
couple on Martha’s Vineyard in September.
Congratulations to Paul and Sue Taylor who
recently moved into their new home at Ocean Point. They are joining our growing
population of year round residents at the Point. We wish you many happy,
healthy years in your new home.
There will not be a column next week but I will
resume after the New Year. I want to thank all of you for your continued
support and kind words
and of course your news during these past few months.
I look forward to all of your news in the coming year.
Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!
