Dear Mr. Sandler:
I did just speak to Mr. Wyss and let him know your arrival and departure dates on Martha's Vineyard. He will arrive back on the Vineyard on August 16 and will depart on August 24 but will be back on the Vineyard at the end of August and would love to get together with you at some point during your visit. His home number on the Vineyard is 508-693-7895.
Best regards,
Debbie
PS: Thought I would send some photo updates on the granddaughters - I now have 4 granddaughters -looks like there will be no grandsons - oldest two are just turning 5 and were in a ballet recital together and the other two are 18 months and youngest just turned 1. Hope you grandchildren are doing well.

I will be at Martha's Vineyard, arriving August 23, departing September 2. My daughter, Susan, her husband Steve and a family friend will be with me. Will you be at the Vineyard at any time during that period, and, if so, would you like to get together?
So....
This is the section i wanted to discuss.

1/ Who says they have 4 granddaughters when they actually have 5!!!! It may be a legitimate mistake but could it be because they are not her grandchildren. Easy to forget when they are not yours.
2/ The oldest two are just turning 5 - THIS MAKES THEM TWINS!!! If they were actually related she would have said the twins are turning 5. I am guessing these are two unrelated little girls who happen to be 5 years old and NOT her granddaughters either.
3/ The other two are 18 months - ANOTHER SET OF TWINS!!
4/ The youngest just turned 1. Doesn't name them. Is that because she doesn't know their names!!?? Oh and she said she had 4 granddaughters yet mentions "5". Does she not know how to count or is it possible they are not her granddaughters AT ALL!!!
5/ Looks like there will be no grandsons - in other words there will be NO BOYS on the menu tonight. Just girls hope that's okay!!
No word about being a grandmother to two sets of twins and a one year old. Just their AGES!!!!! and NO NAMES.

Whoa! The whole tone of the correspondence is off--first a real formal itinerary/invitation and then to tack a pseudo-friendly "by the way here's my grandkids" at the end seems WAY off -- this is just not how people who are friendly enough to meet up at the beach talk with each other. The "ballet recital" doesn't sit right with me, either. Indeed odd, too, not knowing whether you have four or five grandchildren--just does not happen. And yea -- if the five-year-olds were twins, she would have said so. Likewise with the 18-month olds.
However, I will point out that is possible to have two five-year-old grandchildren who are cousins, not siblings, and two 18-month old grandchildren who are cousins, not siblings. For example, in my own family we had four grandkids born within nine months of each other, and we do not call them the "quads". Just four grandchildren who are _____ age.
But yea, I would certainly know at any given time how many grandchildren I have, including any that might be on the way.
Definitely a high-radar find. Good job!
