Thank you, Tom Weber, for your recent column, “Back home is where the heart belongs,” as well as the Aug. 18 column of Terry Marotta (“A summer house of simple pleasure”). It was especially heartwarming to read their most thoughtful words, ever so true.

So, Terry and Tom, keep reminding us — it will help soothe the rough edges of day-to-day living in these tumultuous times. Marian L. Robbins Belfast
