Thank you for the memories

Since the news broke that “the Levitts are leaving,” Gail and I have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of sad farewells and expressions of our loving friendships, going-way parties, gifts, tears and hugs from all.

We have a lot of memories from a quarter-century of LW life but nothing compared to the sincerity of your parting wishes.

Thank you, thank you all, for being our friends, fellow club members, directors, officers, mini-farmers, RVers, wine lovers, Red Hatters, Legionaires and so much more.

We are going to miss you, all of you. But, hey, its Beaumont, California, not Beaumont, Texas. We’re not that far from here. If you are headed to the Palm Springs area, then you’re headed to Beaumont, and you have to pass by us.

So stop on by. There’ll be wine in the cabinet and beer in the fridge.

Oh, and a shady spot in the backyard. You do remember what a back yard is, don’t you? Sadie barked good-bye also.
