Last weekend we made our annual trip to Unity for a favorite fall tradition, The Common Ground Country Fair. We had a wonderful time. This was the first year where I felt truly at home on MOFGA’s lovely spread, finally got the difference between the Rose and Pine gates and never once felt disoriented or […]
A family’s special places and rituals of childhood can sometimes exist suspended, unchanged by the passage of time. For Tim’s family there is this lake.

The boys biked, then made and launched boats on Eagle Lake. This lovely lake provides drinking water for the town […]
