HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL -- Hope your holidays were merry, and that you have been enjoying the winter wonderland that surrounds us. We have already had calls from college-age relatives who will be coming to stay with us while they go skiing at Mount Sunapee. It is always so nice to have them here to catch up on what they are doing at school and what they hope to do "when they grow up".

A Greener New Year in Croydon
Wednesday, December 31, 2008 6:08 AM
Happy New Year! I hope you and your families are looking forward to the New Year. Do you have any resolutions? I try not to do resolutions, but do strive for one new thing for the upcoming year. This year I am striving to live a greener lifestyle. If anyone has any green, living suggestions please email me. Ideally, I would like to get a windmill on our property to generate our own electricity. It is something I am going to look into after the first of the year.

Help Dave ski Sunapee again
Wednesday, December 31, 2008 5:58 AM
Dave grew up in New Hampshire. He lived for the winters, not even remembering how early he learned to ski. He was on the mountains each year as soon as the slopes opened and workers would have to run him off when the snow melted in the spring.

The Gospel Train
NEWPORT--Born and raised in Newport, Jim Hills has spent the last 30 years preaching to audiences large and small. In the last five years, as one of the founding members of The Gospel Train, he's turned to music as a way of reaching new believers.
Theater Group gives back to Charlestown
CHARLESTOWN - Director Heidi Fagan said she created the Charlestown River Theater Group because there was no community theater group in town, and she wanted to start something.
Twas two weeks before Christmas and all through the town
it rained and it froze and the trees all fell down.
The wires that were strung on utility poles
snapped like a twig and the houses all froze.
We got our selves nestled all snug in our bed
while visions of warmer days danced in our head,
and me in my thermals and Pa in his cap
stayed huddled together for a bone chilling nap.
The moon on the ice made a crystalline glow
and we thought to ourselves, just how long can this go?
When what to our wondering eyes did appear
but our son with some coffee and donuts and cheer.
We could see our white breath in the darkness above
and deep under the covers I searched for my love.
His feet, they were frozen and so was his head ---
made me think to myself that he just might be dead.
The days passed so slowly, we must be insane
as we waited and wondered and called out by name
"On Thursday, on Friday, on Saturday too!
on Sunday, on Monday, on Tuesday – oh foo!
on Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday (oh dread!)
the kerosene fumes must have gone to our head.
To add to the pleasure of winter's delight
two snowstorms came by - 18 inches of white.
The snowing and blowing made things bad to worse
and we prayed to the heavens our pipes wouldn't burst.
Pa's eyes now were sunken, his expression --- not merry,
his cheeks had a pallor, his nose like a cherry.
The odd little smile on his face wasn't fun
He often was mumbling "go get me, my gun".
Then a rap on the door, and the fireman said,
"Are you sick, are you sane, and is anyone dead?
There's a shelter, there's warmth, you can come if you're able,
we have showers and kindness and food on the table" ---
and we looked at each other and thought --- "what the heck?"
yeah ... eleven days later you FINALLY check!
On night number twelve we heard the faint roar
of a convoy of trucks and we ran to the door.
To the top of the poles, to the stretch of the cable ---
please bring us your power just as fast as you' re able!
They spoke not a word, but went straight to their work
and the power came on with a hum and a jerk.
They heard us exclaim, as they drove out of sight ---
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
WE HAVE HEAT! WE HAVE LIGHT!
Seeking a Healthier New Year? Join us for free Healthy Living Classes. The Healthy Living Workshops are a series of 6, 2 and ½ hour self-management classes for individuals with chronic conditions. These classes will teach strategies and skills for coping with the symptoms of chronic disease. We find that those attending have a variety of chronic conditions, such as: arthritis, asthma, lung disease, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, etc. The diseases may vary but many of the symptoms are the same and also the management skills and the tools used for coping are the same. Group members will design an individualized action plan and set goals to help them live a normal and productive life.
