These last elections have touched me in a different way as I looked around me on Election Day.
We will not be seeing my in-laws this holiday season.My wife is a dentist, and I work with her. Two of our kids are in college, one of which is in Boston. My youngest is in middle school. My parents will be visiting from Florida. I would say if there is a coronavirus strain kicking around, there’s a good chance one of us will be bringing it to the table.We are vaccinated.

If you didn’t have a chance to purchase a Suffield or West Suffield 350th anniversary crock earlier this year, you can still buy one at our partner’s website: AllSignsCo.com/stoneware.html. We chose their “oak tree” design (fourth row down) and selected the “Anderson” font that curves just a little bit. Top line text is either “Suffield, CT” or “West Suffield, CT” and the bottom line is “Est. 1670”. Crocks ship free to the lower 48 states, and their prices are the same as the 350th committee charged.
Wow! October was quite a month in the Town of Suffield! The highlight of the month for me, Parks and Recreation, and I am certain for most of the town, it was 350th Anniversary celebration during Columbus Day weekend.
