Fryeburg Town Column: New puzzle group at the Fryeburg Public Library

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. John and I were thrilled to have had our four sons, daughters-in-law and seven grandchildren at our home on Christmas Eve for dinner.

After we had eaten and exchanged gifts, we announced that magic time was about to take place and all of the kids had to put on their boots and coats and head out to the deck. Our deck looks out onto the back side of Pleasant Mountain and the sky often glows pink from the lights at Shawnee Peak. Everyone rushed outside and stood waiting in the chilly air until we heard a faint jingle of bells coming from the edge of the woods. The kids’ eyes lit up when they realized that Santa was walking toward us through the snow. He slowly ho, ho, hoed his way to the deck.
