House Update: Painting of the hall and lounge is all but finished—‘all but’ as painting was delayed on Monday when the painter was ill. We hope to see everything done and pictures back up very soon. Looks great, doesn’t it? Also, the roofs over the dormers have been resealed with proper flat roof roofing.

Drop Dead Gorgeous 2; February 16, 7 PM HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO A FUTURE DATE
Our friend Hank, aka Sergeant Sam Steele, is under the weather and won’t likely be out from under it until after Saturday. So, rather than carry on with a less than spectacular mystery, the Entertainment Committee decided to postpone until a future date. We’ll let you know, but it won’t be in the next few weeks, as this is a significant event to prepare for. Sorry to dash the hopes of Charlottetown’s best sleuths!
Tuesday February 19, The Haviland Club Book Club,7 PM
The Book Club is now reading Educated, by Tara Westover, according to Goodreads: “An unforgettable memoir about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University.” And then, for March, the club will read Hag Seed, by Margaret Atwood, which makes delightful use of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. New voices always welcome—if you are a reader, please join us.
