Ocean Point is coming alive once again; the temperatures have improved, the daffodils are in bloom and slowly but surely residents are returning.

It was great to see Jean Slayton who reports that she and her family are all doing well. Her grandson Michael just completed his freshman year at Georgia Tech and will be working at the East Boothbay General Store for the summer. She thoroughly enjoyed watching the progress of Jeff and Barb’s new home as well as their frequent visits. Grandson Beckett is busy playing baseball and granddaughter Hattie is busy building a rowboat, a requirement for her graduation.

Sharon Gleason was visiting the Point over her spring break and she, Joanne Demers and Jean Slayton all drove to Camden to visit with Grace Ryder and have an enjoyable lunch together.

News from Lanny Whitehouse is that his recovery from heart surgery is going quite well and he is looking forward to being on the golf course very soon. He and Leslie wish to express their heartfelt gratitude to all who expressed their well wishes and concern these past few weeks,

It is exciting to see the East Boothbay General Store return to a 7-day opening after a very long winter. Don’t forget to stop in for a coffee, sandwich or one of the many delicious sweets Liz offers. We are so fortunate to have her store in such close proximity and we do appreciate the convenience it provides to us. Several Ocean Pointers will be employed at the store for the upcoming season.

Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a great week!
