15_the_circle | how ever did we let her go?

[OT from cottage renovations]

it is a public disgrace that we somehow allowed Dodie to get away with leaving the Grove. but leave us she did, though she did agree to come back today for a farewell luncheon in the Town Hall.

the Mayor reads a proclamation honouring her service to the Town

it's official: she's the Queen of Maple Lake

with friends and neighbours

with family

the Grove just won't be the same without her.

if she is ever reported missing down in Silver Spring, don't come looking for her up here. we won't know a thing about it.
