Not Quite Business as Usual
The outbreak of Covid-19 threw a wrench into the works of life as we knew it. It is a struggle for everyone who has lost employment or is trying to find a new normal in their daily jobs. While they may normally lie in the back of our minds the hospitality industry continues as a backbone of our society to be there when we need them most.

Their responses were creative and put into action as quickly as possible doing …
Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer Turns Sweet 16 May 4-10!
We might be only to be able to see white snow outside beyond our imaginations with icicles hanging off of houses and buildings everywhere. Temperatures so frigid you can’t imagine that you truly have to go out into it. Snow days galore that affected local business including many of our participants. Public transportation, traffic and parking are all major inconveniences right now. This winter is one for the history books.
The days are staying lighter a little longer and we all hope for winter’s end to come sooner rather than later. With spring comes the 16th Annual Boston Bakes for Breast …
335 in 113 in 2013!

Fundraisers have begun to help and of …

One thing I was interested to learn about while researching different inspections for homes is radon. Radon is a radioactive gas which comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through …

Roche Brothers & Sudbury Farms and the tale of the Chocolate Chip Cooke!
Imagine my surprise many years ago when out of the blue I get a call from Roche Brothers and Sudbury Farms saying they want to be involved with Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer!
