The
House by the Sea
“In the house by the sea with Dor-o-thy
We had no idea of time.
That is, of course, ‘til in her calm voice
She’d announce ‘Girls, it’s time to dine.’
“In the house by the sea with Dor-o-thy
We all slept very little.
Our eyes got scratchy, our throats laughter-sore,
But who cared one little fiddle.
“In the house by the sea with Dor-o-thy
Laughter rang out through the rafters.
As albums grew larger, page by page,
We’d remember this time every after.
“Teri & Nancy, Diana and Fern,
Dixie, Teresa, Me ‘n’ Kim,
I think we created more than albums.
I really think friendship entered in.
So thank you, Dorothy, and you too, John,
For a wonderful Getaway Weekend.
We’ll not soon forget it – in the house by the sea
And the weekend of many nice dividends.”

“Our
most thoughtful hostess Dorothy special-ordered
a warm sun-shining weekend, and because nothing is too
good for her scrappers, she somehow convinced two magnificent
whales to come and entertain us by playing in the sea
just outside our window. These weekends just beat all!
Thank you for all the extra things you do to make them
so great!”

“The house…
The view…
The food…
The table-scapes…
The pampering…
The spa tub…
…and most spectacular of all are the wonderful, creative,
caring people who come together for Sand, Surf &
Scrap. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!”
~Susan, 9/29/02
“Dorothy, you are one in a million!
Thank you so much for your attention
to every detail to make us feel comfortable. I felt
so pampered and taken care of so that I could focus
on my creative process and relax and enjoy the other
people here. I will be back with friends again and again
and again… You have quite a gift!”

You are amazing! This weekend was a
scrapbooker’s paradise. You provided so much for my
friends & me – a fantastic place, wonderful food,
beautiful tables… Thank you for making my 40th birthday
so special for me, and thanks for all you gave of yourself.”

To the tune of “We Are
Family”
“We are family,
All my scrappin’ sisters & me
We are acid free…
Scrappin’ overlooking the sea!”

“Dorothy, you
are the best-bar none. This weekend is worth 100,000
GRAND. You do the work of 3 MUSKETEERS. You work your
BUTTERFINGERS to the bone. No one SNICKERS at your delicious
cooking. We will always think of you when we see the
MILKY WAY. We had MOUNDS of fun because we were on a
TOOTSIE ROLL. We enjoyed music & munchies (M&M’s).
Thanks for going to all the TRUFFLE for us. Thanks for
filling our JELLY BELLY’s. You’re the CRÈME BRULEE of
the crop. We have a million REESES to come back next
year!
HUGS & HERSHEY’S KISSES!”
