Letter to the editor

Dear Editor, (Editor’s note: the following poem was sent as a reaction to the snow that fell on New Year’s Eve.) There was a blanket of snow on New Years Day. Which allowed the folks to go out and play. They romped and they rolled, Even though it was cold. Forgetting the fuss and the fray.

From The Editor ... Thoughts that count

Christmas arrives tomorrow, bringing a time to remember the reason for the season and show our appreciation for the ones we love. It also brings a reprieve to the gift buying season that started with Black Friday and possibly earlier.

Berry’s Picks
