Worth Quoting

Notes from the Heart...
How's your Christmas planning going? I had good
intentions and thought I was ahead of schedule...but I still
haven't sent out all my Christmas cards. If you haven't
even bought your cards yet, never mind writing them out,
you may want to take a shortcut and download some free
vintage Christmas cards. I found this delightful site that
lets you download some beautiful Victorian era prints like
the one on the right. Check it out by clicking on the link,

This Week's Stories:
New England Thrift: Spend Your Money on Gifts, Not Gas
Waiting in traffic, looking for parking spaces, and driving long distances for a
single gift are all bad for your wallet and for our air quality. Read on...
History: The Story of the Humble Maine Ice Cube
Gather round while I tell you the story of Kennebec Ice...Once upon a time, before
the invention of modern refrigeration, folks kept their food cold by using large
blocks of ice. That ice was readily available to residents of my state, Maine.

Recipe: Shrimp in Oriental Broth
by Charlie Burke
During the holiday season we are served rich and delicious
