Don’t worry, that is as political as I will get). One of the things that amuses Mr. Owl is how
Read moreSo, the Owl is heading back and catching up with all that is going on in our fair town. Since it is between June 15 and August 30, the summary is “nothing.” Half of the town has swanned off to summer homes and European vacations, and it is for sure my favorite commuting time of the year. Well, except for

Your toddler does not care. Your toddler will find it the best place ever and you just need to watch for purple lips. Do not
Read moreThe Susan McDaniel Run for Lovelane is back in person in Weston (with a virtual option) this Sunday, June 12. This is one of the Owl’s favorite local 5Ks, and Owlets have also run the 1/2 mile Kids Fun Run as well though they are now way too old and sleepy to be bothered. Starting at the Town Hall and
