When I opened the door, it felt like I had stepped inside a spa! The soft pink curtain and gray walls are accented with an aromatherapy machine, sending gentle waves of scent and a distinctly relaxed feeling.

Seven Rescue Dogs Find Homes
|
The owners of Feather & Bloom celebrated one year in business at their location in the former CVS Plaza on Mountain Road. The week-long celebration ended with a dog rescue event in collaboration with Save All Dogs Rescue, a Manchester non-profit. By day’s end, seven rescue dogs had found their forever homes. The event also featured some of the local artisans who create and sell at Feather & Bloom. Christine MacClintic of Loving Faces was there to showcase her dog portraits and auction off a portrait, with 100% of the proceeds going to Save All Dogs Rescue.

Did you wonder why the flag at Veterans Park remained at half-mast long after other flags mourning El Paso and Dayton had returned to the peak?

“I Pledge Allegiance . . .”
|
The whole Pledge is written carefully on the white stripes of the big flag Celine Zaczynski painted on canvas and hung on the barn behind her house near the end of South Main Street. The flag can be glimpsed by north-bound drivers on South Main, but this photo was taken from Limric Lane.

New Owner for Suffield by the River
|
As owner and, until now, executive director of the well-regarded facility at 7 Canal Road, Celia Moffie is selling the place to LCB Senior Living, LLC. As this issue of the Observer goes to press, the sale is scheduled to close on August 31. LCB, based in Norwood, Mass., owns and operates similar facilities in five New England States, plus one in Pennsylvania. In Connecticut, the closest is the Residence at South Windsor Farms. Others are The Residence at Brookside in Avon, plus three more in Fairfield County. In its own publicity, LCB is described as being “among the first creators of independent, assisted, and memory impaired communities.”
Celia Moffie has owned Suffield by the River since the 20-acre parcel at 7 Canal Road was purchased in 1997.

Suffield Family Feels the Love
|
Anyone who lives or has lived in Suffield knows that Suffield is a town that draws people together to help and give support in any kind of crisis. When someone is facing hardship, it is never faced alone. Scott Flanagan of Suffield learned at the beginning of June that he has aggressive, diffuse large cell B Non-Hodgkins stage 4 Lymphona (involving bone, lymph nodes and viscera). Scott had been working as a Physical Therapist but had to go on family leave, which ended his compensation. The family is taking one day at a time, with their strong faith in God and family, hoping for the best.
