Hi, Dear Readers! It’s great to be back from the Roffe/Ross Annual Family Post Camp at wonderful Camp Ojibwa in Eagle River, Wisconsin.
(You might notice that this photo is heavily populated by a majority of Roffes. But I’m hoping to balance this inequity by rallying Natasha and her gang and Nick and his clan next summer.)
Today, however, I have made a special video in honor of a very special day.
Please play this.
And thanks.
Ellen— Congratulations on the sixth anniversary of your blog, Letter from Elba. I don’t know why you would give someone iron on a sixth anniversary, but since you do, and apparently someone has done that for you, I thought I’d send to you all of my shirts and pants that require ironing. The shirts need starch as well but I assume that won’t be much trouble for you.
Fold the clothes when the ironing is done — and thank you very much. As a single guy, it’s nice to have this chore done for me. I never could find a girlfriend willing to iron shirts for me. As the saying goes, “…you’re a doll….”
Umm, thanks, Jack. But sorry, no dice. I don’t iron- don’t ask me. Not into heavy lifting. May I suggest a nice Martinizing joint near me? 🤗
Congrats on 6 yrs! I enjoy reading your blogs and hearing your adventures too.
Thanks so much, Lynn. Hearing this from you makes it all worthwhile. Thank you from the bottom of my ink-stained heart. 🥂🎉
So glad you created the blog. Sunday isn’t Sunday without LFE. Keep going!
Thanks, Big K. Couldn’t have done it without you. You make my life a better place to be. 😘🍾🎉🥂
Dearest Ellen,
Congrats on the sixth anniversary of your wonderfully entertaining blog! You are brilliant and absolutely one-of-a-kind! Love your blogs and love you! Your No. 1 fan.
What can I say but thank you, Glam GrandMAma. You inspire me every day to be the best that I can be. With much love and gratitude, your E. 🍾🥂🎉
Breaking News for sure! Congrats!
Thanks, my friend. And thank you for all the encouraging words and good comments through these past six years. Your support has been so important. 🎉🥂👍
Dear Ellen
Congrats on the sixth anniversary of Letters From Elba!
I am so grateful to Karen L. for introducing me (4 years ago) to LFE.
I look forward to your many future blogs!
Thank you, Bette. How sweet of you to say so. It’s great people like you who make this so worthwhile. It used to be be Bette Davis but from now on, you are my official favorite Bette! 🎉🥂😊
Congrats Ellen,
I always wanted you to write a book. However you have no time unless you publish your blog. I will always be your biggest fan!!!!!
Keep it going.
Love,
Lili
You and my dad, Lil. But I’m happy doing this. (Not to mention all the hush money I’ve been paid NOT to write it.) Love and thanks. You were my first commentator and a super Life cheerleader. 😘🥂🍾
CONGRATS ON YOUR GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Thanks, Buddy. Your support and comments have been truly appreciated. 😊🥂🎉
Happy iron anniversary Ellen. I enjoy hearing your take on life and living vicariously through your dining, travel, shopping, parenting, grand parenting, and relationships. Keep up the good work. Sad we didn’t get to experience last week w you. Picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue, I hear. ❤️
Thanks, Dicky. We missed you! Omg- the weather. And the ME singing group was just not quite the same. Next year in Catfish Lake, my friend. 😊🥂🍾
