Hello Dear Readers,

These autumn days are just splendid.  This is the time of year I first arrived in Boston forty-eight years ago.  At that time I had no idea I would stay.

But as guests stop by the office after breakfast (three this morning already!) conveying to me their happiness with their stay here, I think I found the right place to make my life and work.

And now as I am settling in to retirement ~ only here one day a week ~ this newsletter is more and more prepared by the managers.

Zoia Krastanova knows all the doings of the house, and her photographs capture the little happenings that keep us all cheerful so that we Wish You Were Here.  Briana Pearson keeps tabs on the community and so finds what is happening in Our Fair City.

Reports and photos from Zoia Krastanova

Two guests returned their keys with sweet little notes~

This key went to France!
And came home again….
Thank you to all the postal carriers
everywhere who make this essential,
massive, complex network hum along.

Another guest Mayan Antonucci, has been charmed by our turtles.  She had stayed with us several times as she came to get medical treatment.  On her last visit, she brought us a three dimensional felt companion to those turtles  on our post cards.

These and many other of our post cards continue to get sent all over the world….but that felt turtle now has found a home in Cambridge…
And now Zoia sees turtles everywhere!
Even in New Hampshire’s granite.

The Harvard Square Open Market continues through the end of October~
