Reflections, Busy Holidays Ahead

The days seem to be just flying by. People are in a hurry to get everything that needs to be accomplished done on time. It is the time of year that we all enjoy good food and friends. Over the past five years, I have enjoyed lots of great food with some new and old friends.

I have learned what it takes to be a farmer and butternut squash salad met many people that have taught me a lot about what it was like here in Norton many years ago. I have so enjoyed speaking with people about the news in the community and the many church suppers, anniversaries and birthday parties.

You may be wondering why I am speaking about the different topics I covered in my column. As we enter into the time of year that we start to reflect about what we have done in the past year and years, we then turn to what the new year will hold for us.

This sadly will be my last column of . I started this without really knowing what I was doing, but with a lot of help from my editors and from you, the residents of the communities in and around Norton, I continued on. Each week as I sat down to do my write up, it let me think about my community and pistachio jello salad those who live in it.

As we enter into a new year, we all look at what we want to accomplish. We may like to take on a new project or just take time to rest. With life getting very busy as my kids get older, the resting time looks really good.

I want to thank everyone that helped me out by getting me all the information I needed to put my column together each week, like this week. There are a few events that are coming up for the weeks.
