I woke up Wednesday morning thinking there was something I had forgotten to do. I was correct and thankful I remembered that the column deadline is noon. I quickly reset my reminder on my calendar and sat down to whip out a quick column before work.
Friday, we had to make a quick trip to Mexico/Dixfield for an appointment and were a bit early so we stopped at Walmart for a few items. Eliot saw a whole aisle dedicated to pool supplies and wanted to know when we would open our pool. That was an interesting conversation as it will be May at least. Funny how they stock shelves so early for something so far away. This is an especially hard concept for a 9-year-old, although I always like to see the changing of stock to more spring/summer items.
The weekend brought extremely cold temperatures and the kitchen was kept warm with the stove on cooking up some corn chowder and biscuits one day and lasagna, bread and chocolate chip cookies the next day.
We did get several inches of snow and the Town Office opened at 10am to give staff time to clean up and get to the office. The Select Board will meet the first and third Tuesdays at 3pm until further notice. A calendar can be viewed on the town’s website: newrymaine.org.
