The traditions and rituals of the harvest season are upon us. Soon we will stock up our shelves, ready our kitchens and turn down our guest beds for a single day of thanks and good tidings while surrounded by family and friends.
But with the continual cleaning, cooking, running around and chasing leading up to the holiday, it is very easy to fall into a Grinch-like stupor. Don’t give way to beastly behavior! When the pressure mounts, offer up a simple thanks for all of your life’s blessings.
It’ll help when you’re sitting in all that holiday traffic.
This next item falls under the “Never judge a book by its cover” category. The Westhampton Rotary Club had an exciting meeting last week during which members of Rescue Ink, a group of self-defined “motorcycle dudes” whose mission is to persuade abusive pet owners to either be kind to their animals or give them up, stopped by for a visit. For those who are curious, Rescue Ink also has a show that airs on the National Geographic channel every Friday at 10 p.m. For more information on the Westhampton Rotary Club or to become a member, call 325-1352.
The members of Westhampton Beach Junior Girl Scout Troop 759 recently painted a colorful window mural next door to the Waldbaum’s on Sunset Avenue.

Additionally, Amy Hess, artist and owner of The Ark Studio, generously volunteered many hours and her expertise to make this project come to life. Lovely painting, ladies!
