Update from Callie Nealon; looking for extra "stuff" for new apartment

Hi! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It’s going by way too fast! Anne and Tom aren’t going to know what to do with themselves come the end of it. Jacko leaves in 6 days for his cruise across the world for a couple of months… and yes, Matthew and I have finally decided to leave the nest of 50 Front and join Patrick in the city in just a couple of weeks. I’m heading to Brookline with two girlfriends and Matt is going to join Patrick in Brighton. With that being said, I was hoping to reach out and gladly take some things off of anyone’s hands. At the moment, I’m really searching for a bureau or two (the necessities, if you will). However, I am open to anything and everything anyone is looking to get rid of that may fit in my apartment! You name it, we probably need it J

If you think of something(s), please feel free to give me a call (774) 270-1006 OR email me at cnealon214@gmail.com! Thanks everyone, hope to see you all soon!

Love,
Callie

A Champion Angler in our Midst

At this past weekends local Bassmasters tournament on Lake Winnipesaukee I won for the Biggest fish on Sunday. After a mediocre day on Saturday I hooked this lunker Sunday morning and spent the rest of the day tight lipped among the other fishermen until I hoisted this monster at the scale for the weigh in. my first purse in the fishing world. Here is a picture. It was a large mouth bass -5 pounds, 3 ounces.

Update from Jeff Nealon: Greetings from Monash University in Melbourne Australia

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post a quick message letting everyone know that I have arrived safely in Australia and am having a great time. It’s been a whirlwind of a week so it has been tough to communicate. The last few days have been pretty packed with orientation activities helping us get acclimated to the campus. We’ve gotten to become somewhat familiar with the city as well. At night there has been school sponsored trips that have taken us out to a few dinners, clubs, and a pub crawl (they know how to have a good time here). You would be surprised how similar things are half way around the world in terms of living styles and customs, it is true however that the people are generally very nice here the pace of life is somewhat slower. I’ve met some good people so far, both from the United States and various countries. Some of the other countries that I have met some students from are the UK, South Africa, and a few Australians. School does not get into session until next Monday so there are not a lot of people around campus yet.

It is 3:45 in the afternoon here on Saturday the 10^th (so it is 1:45 in the morning at home) and we just got back from a trip to the supermarket and beverage store. I was looking for anything that would resemble one of Aunt Kathy’s peanut butter blossoms but there is nothing in the world (realistically speaking) that can match them (not trying to drop any hints Aunt Kathy- my address is Nealon, Jeffrey/Roberts Hall/Building 47 Halls of Residence/ Monash University VIC 3800/Australia).

I hope everyone is doing well and I am looking forward to continuing to update everyone on how my trip is going. My email is janealon@loyola.edu and for anyone that has skype my user name is "Jeff Nealon". Talk to you all soon.

Team Work At 'The Barn"

They say that many hands make light work and that was certainly true on Saturday.

 

On first glance it appeared to be an overwhelming task but as we forged ahead and

 focused  on what had to be done the results were immediate and satisfying.

 

As the morning progressed our team grew larger and so did our enthusiasm.  There were many treasures to be had and many memories brought to mind on seeing some of the old stuff from Hayden Rowe.

 

By noon the entire barn was cleaned out and sitting on one side of the barn were the 2 old kitchen tables ( picnic) that date back to Church Street.

 

The morning ended with hot dogs, high spirits and a wonderful sense of accomplishment felt by all.

 

The pictures really say it all and although Grandma hated to part with her things she surely would have been proud of her gang.

 

Thanks to all for great work and a great time.
