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.

 

Statistics:            15 people ages 9-65

Nealons heading abroad!

Exciting news from our collegiate set - Jeffrey, Christopher and Jack will all spend next year abroad in exciting places.

Jeff leaves July 3 for Melbourne and will be studying at Monish University , an affiliate of Loyola until November 16.

Chris leaves Sept 3 and will be studying at Florence University returning December 18.

Jeff hopes to spend some time in Florence with Chris after he gets out while John and Lorraine hope to visit them both (lucky them!!)

Jack will spend the semester at sea! He leaves at the end of August and his semester will bring him to stops at ten ports then return him home early December.

Of course, we'll ask them to stay in touch with us via Bunnysoffspring. Jack has already said he'll blog. Sounds like a pretty tough semester ahead for each of them ;') Congrats, guys!!

The Tradition Continues!!

Attached is a photo of Jack’s Westfield State Rugby Team after their final game of the season; Jack is in the middle of the second row. I thought everyone would get a kick out of the picture. Hope all is well. Thanks. Tom

According to Jack "We had two games, we won one - a lot to a little - then we lost the second by 5. All and all it was great progress for just starting the club. "

RJ's Going To College!

I'm proud to say that Bunny's Offspring will be experiencing some more milestones soon. The oldest of the "great" grandchildren will be graduating from Holy Name High School this month. It seems like only yesterday when Jen I and brought baby RJ to see Grandma at Front Street for the first time. RJ did a great job at Holy Name and will be attending the College of Mount Saint Vincent in Riverdale, New York. Mt. Saint Vincent is a small Catholic liberal arts college that sits on the Hudson River only a train ride into Manhattan. He is excited for their Communications program and is looking forward to taking on The Big Apple!
CAPE PARTY -- To celebrate RJ's graduation, we will be holding a Family Graduation Party at 6 Kendrick Lane, Pocasset on SATURDAY, June 19 - Beginning Any Time after 2PM -- We hope you can make it... Love, Bob

Bailey Settar's fundraiser

Hello - Here is an update from Pam regarding a fundraiser Bailey is participating in:

She/We are trying to collect 1000 Soccer Balls and 1000 Water Bottles and $1000 by May 1st- we are doing this to provide clean water and fun (soccer balls) to those affected in Haiti and other suffering countries. We decided to do this as a family project on Martin Luther king Day. It has been been a great learning experience for all of us. We are also hosting a Wine Tasting (adults only) on April 30th to raise more $ to go towards our Water Project. We are sending the $ to an organization called Wine to Water and we are sending the soccer balls and water bottles to Samaritans Purse.

Right now we have about 750 water bottles, with more likely on the way!
We are close to $300.00 in Cash Donations only $680.00 more needed!
And we are really in need of Soccer Balls. Although, we can use the $ to go towards the balls, they cost anywhere between $8.00 - $20.00 depending on the ball!!!

Bailey raised a bunch at her Birthday. She asked people to bring the donations or soccer balls, instead of gifts and did awesome. I have the article written up on it, hopefully I cna scan it and send it over for you to see. Hope all is well!
Love you,
Pamela

Thoughts about family

Blessed are the people who have a strong family
Wonderful people who say “Just lean on me.”
Whatever our trouble, we can always call
Sisters and brothers who will not let us fall.

Life’s road is not always smooth and wide
Sometimes we are swimming against a strong tide
We always find comfort to know they are there
Quietly lifting some of the burden we bear.

And just when we think that life is just crap!
They come on the scene with a smile and a laugh.
At times we are not sure how we will go on
They bring light to the darkness and say “Just come along.”

As we get older and life progresses
There may be doubts and surely some stresses
From the horse we are riding, we might just get thrown
Because we have family, we are never alone. Amen.
