1 HAMPTONS MESSENGER Social Director Moment By Monica Tynes February 2015 The weather for the rest of the year lies on the shoulders of a little ground hog named Punxsutawney Phil. On Tuesday, February 2 nd, he will emerge from his burrow. If he likes the weather and stays out of his burrow, spring will soon be here. If Phil sees his shadow, it will frighten him back into his little home and we will have six more weeks of winter. There has been only one Punxsutawney since this tradition started 125 years ago. Each summer Phil drinks the elixir of life that gives him seven more years of life. Now, none of us have the pleasure of drinking the elixir of life, but we can come out of our burrows and start exercising and enjoying fellowship with friends. Friends, fellowship and fun help keep us young. Have a great February and try to stay out of your burrow. It wont stay cold much longer. Welcome New Residents!

6 Nuts About Love Driving through Southern California, I stopped at a roadside stand that sold fruit, vegetables and crafts. As I went to pay, I noticed the young woman behind the counter was painting a sign. Why the new sign? I asked. My boyfriend didn t approve of the old one, she said. When I glanced at what hung above the counter, I understood. It declared: Local Honey Dates Nuts Making the Grade My high-school English teacher was well known for being a fair, but hard, grader. One day I received a B minus on a theme paper. In hopes of bettering my grade and in the spirit of the valentine season, I sent her an extravagant heart-shaped box of chocolates with the pre-printed inscription: BE MINE. The following day, I received in return a valentine from the teacher. It read: Thank you, but it s still BE MINE-US. What did the boy sheep say to the girl sheep on Valentine's Day? I Love Ewe! What did the boy squirrel say to the girl squirrel on Valentine's Day? I'm nuts about you! Old Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed. He turned over slowly and then he said, "I wonder if spring is on the way, I'll go and check the weather today. If I see my shadow between eleven and noon, I then will know that I'm out too soon. I'll crawl back in bed for six weeks more, Pull up the warm covers and snore and snore. But if no shadow gives me a scare, I know that spring is in the air, I'll wake my friends and wish them cheer, With glorious news that spring is here.
