The words on my tongue these days are ABUNDANCE and THANKS. It was awesome partner across the town for the Free Spirit Festival. Abundance certainly describes our Chasing the Legend 5k Race and Fun Run, too, that we hosted alongside Parks & Rec, the Cemetery Committee and Union Cemetery. We had an abundance of participants—over 140! An abundance of helpful hands from Christ Church, the Town Cemetery Committee, the Easton Arts Council for their pumpkin decorating, and Easton Pride for face painting! An abundance of baked goods from Christ Church and apples from Silverman’s Farm! And an abu ..read more

Today, we remember those soldiers who have died in their often extraordinary service. We place flowers on graves. We hold soldiers, those who grieve the fallen, and all impacted by the ravages of war in our hearts. And we dream of a time when our remembrance would make peacemakers of all of us. Memorial Day was first celebrated in our nation on May 1, 186 ..read more
