My co-workers and I helped the Sullivan County Boys and Girls Club raise money at their celebrity dinner on Friday night at the Villa Roma. They had a storybook theme, and we chose to do Peter Pan. Yes, I was Captain Hook’s right-hand man, the pirate Smee, the fat pirate with the belly hanging out. My belly only hung out for a picture, but it cost you. There are pictures on Facebook. On Saturday, the Cochecton Youth Group took a trip to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Now I can take that off my bucket list—I always wanted to see them. It was a great show. Sunday was such a nice day that I went with a friend to the Callicoon Theater to see “London has Fallen,” then to the Callicoon Brewery for dinner. I need to go back to work so I can rest. As of March 10, my mom will have been in heaven three years. I miss her so much; there’s nothing like the love between a daughter and a mother.

On Monday, March 21, The Red Hatters are going to the Villa Roma for a St. Joseph’s Day celebration. It includes morning coffee and cake, lunch at noon, and a performance at 2 p.m. by Italian tenor Elio Scaccio, followed by bingo. There is time in between for swimming, walking, or other sports, shopping, games and musical entertainment. The cost is $34.36 which includes tip and tax. Please call Pam at 845/252-7208 by March 16 to RSVP and save your spot.

On Saturday, March 12, right after the 4:30 p.m. mass, there will be a St. Patty’s Day dinner hosted by the Knights of Columbus, Holy Cross Church, Route 97, Callicoon, NY. Adults $15, youth, ages seven to 15, $10; children, one to six, free. Call Grand Knight Teddy for more information, 845/252-3630.

Cochecton has lost another resident. Please keep Daisy Smith and her family in your thoughts and prayers on the passing of Charlie. I did not know him that well, but he did call me “babe” when he came to pay his taxes. What I will always remember about Charlie is his love for Smugglers, when I worked for Pete and Anita at Pete’s Pub. One night Anita told me, “Make sure you have a bottle of Smugglers out and open—Charlie and Daisy are coming in for dinner.” Some will remember him for his well drilling and some for his airplane, but I will remember him for his “Hi, babe.”

Have a great week and email leeniebeans@citlink.net or call 845/252-3568 if you have news.
