I have to admit that this morning (Monday) I really don’t have much news. Looking out my window at bare ground seems very strange. We have already had 2 lunches out on the deck – remarkable for March. It was 74 degrees at noon yesterday! The weather, although very nice in one sense, has impacted seasonal workers & is now creating chaos with sugaring….

It was nice to have Kathy Lynds in church on Sunday & she brought Theresa Steward with her. Speaking of church, these are the Upcoming Events: 4/1/12 – Palm/Passion Sunday Worship at 10:30 AM; 4/5/12 – Maundy Thursday meal & service at 6:00 PM; 4/8/12 – Easter Celebration at 10:30 AM! Everyone is welcome to attend.

I understand that it was decided at the Plymouth Historical Society meeting that they would participate in the bi-annual VT History Expo (6/16 & 17) at Tunbridge – “Vermonters in the Civil War”. They would appreciate local artifacts and/or Plymouth family facts that pertain to that era.

The Reach Out Community Luncheon last Thursday provided a wonderful meal & it was interesting to have Dave Harlow talk about his book, The Way It Used to Be. He brought in a small box that he had made in his youth & explained how he used it to find “bee trees” & obtain honey. It was all very fascinating!
