One Last MV Gasp---Emptying Out the House

It's ten am on a brilliant Saturday morning, and we're in the ferry line. How many times I have sat in this line, a hundred different scripts could begin at this setting. The Vineyard holds a special place for me and for my relatives, and today we're gathering at the house for a last hurrah. We're saying goodbye to Essie's house and all its contents. But we've still got to remove the things the wealthy buyer wouldn't want.

So we rented another house, and today we'll sort out 55 years worth of collected family stuff, and bring most of it to the dump. The Steamship Authority deserves a major shout out for installing wireless at the terminal. It even works great in the car, where I am sitting while typing.

I've been told that there is a glitch...not a big major bummer glitch, but something that might end up costing us some thousands. A title problem, going back to before our grandmother bought the house in 194. We need people named Mayhew (going back to Thomas Mayhew, original namer of this island) to sign the title.

Well should be a nostalgic and fun weekend, can't wait to see two of my sisters and other cousins of whome I am very fond.
