Wind Towers-Complaining for all the wrong reasons.

I don’t usually blog about local matters but this controversy about wind towers being built atop some of our mountains and ridges is beginning to get my goat.

The Four O’Clock Shower

I discovered something yesterday afternoon that I should have discovered when I first had to leave the workforce for good: The four o’clock shower.

Long Meadow Farms Quilts-A place for doll quilts

My wonderful lady of Long Meadow Farms Quilts is a practical sort of person in fact she has enough practically to supply a dozen or so people without shorting herself. She also has a strong head for business, a talent which I never seemed to enjoy. And one of the things that indicate the above [...]
