What Zoomers Are Doing Now

It has been an amazing summer in New Brunswick. First day of September and we have a humidex warning 40ish- very hot and humid, but if you like that, it's wonderful. We have Hurricane Earl heading this way- will it fizzle out before it reaches us???

Listen to the Seniors!

Sometimes it helps to be reminded of how things were. Five years ago, New

per day. Couples were required to use their joint incomes and assets to

Bob and I were married in '62 and made several trips to Athol---one, I remember taking two passengers--likely you and your friend! Most memorable about the trip was one guy completely unraveled his homemade sock! We laughed a lot that trip!
