     Terry Zartarian drove to Haverhill, Mass.the first week of December and spent a few days with her sister Ann Sarbanis, and then joined her sister-in-law Marylou Noonan for a 2 week visit to Boynton Beach, Florida. Terry lives beside Black Falls Brook here in town and often has high water on her lawn and would you believe while in Florida it rained and rained and had flooded streets. But a wonderful time was enjoyed and as always its goood to be home.

     Suzanne Pelletier and her four children have returned home after spending the Christmas vacation with her parents in St.Augustine, Florida. They were just ahead of the storm as they woke up to this mountain of snow we received overnight, we had around 12-14 inches to clean out of our driveways Sunday a.m.

     Margie Harrocks took care of Suzannes' animals while away, what a wonderful neighbor to have nearby.  God Bless you all and glad that you are all home safe and sound.
