Notes from the Heart...
Happy Memorial Day weekend! This week, New Hampshire resident Susan
Nye shares some special memories about Memorial Day: Every year since her
youth she has spent this long weekend at a little cottage on Pleasant Lake, NH.
She writes: "In the coming days, all along the shores of Pleasant Lake, empty
summer houses will fill up, at least for the weekend. Windows will be thrown
open to air out stuffy cottages. Stray squirrels and mice will be chased out of
attics and cupboards...." Read Susan's story here: A Long Weekend for
Memories, Family and an Ice Cold Swim.

(“ko-hogs”) or cherry stones, which are chopped. Read on...
