Blog-tember Friday, Sept. 30: Picture this, you’ve been stopped on the street by the photographer of Humans of New York, and he asks, “What advice would you give to a large group of people?” Share a picture of yourself along with the advice. Advice? I’m not sure. I would have to say, don’t be afraid…
Blog-tember Wednesday, Sept. 28: The top five pictures that illustrate your year so far. How do you narrow down all those pictures? I’ll try. Our one and only snowmobile ride ended with a visit to the emergency room and surgery for Tom. A broken clavicle and 3 broken ribs. He’s was back to his old…
Blog-tember Tuesday, Sept. 27: Something that made you laugh or cry recently. It could be a video, a picture, a post, a memory. Anything that moved you. On a daily basis, my two Brittany’s make me laugh. They can be so silly. They bring joy to my day. What makes you laugh and brings…

I was never fond of the cranberry nut bread, but I love hermits. The recipe was once published in the church cookbook. The traditional way to make hermits was to roll out…
Blog-tember Thursday, Sept. 22: Fall favorites. Share your must-haves for this season. There is no better place to be than New England in the fall. The days get cooler and the trees turn color.

Blog-tember Wednesday, Sept. 21: If you were a flavor of ice cream, which flavor would you be? Why? When I read this, I thought, “I never made it to Benson’s Ice Cream in West Boxford this year.” Growing up, my family often went to Benson’s for a treat. It’s the only place I know that has…
