The New Year 2022

How do you match the joy of a young child tearing into a surprise birthday gift and discovering that it is just what he’s always wanted? Well, how about seeing a fellow…

1966 Ford Fairlane GTA
“I had just about given up, then I remembered my parents had a 1966 or 67 Fairlane. It was a nice car with a 289 and auto transmission. I found this good looking 1966 GTA S-code 2-door in Lynn, Mass.” Dave Carpenter, Addison, Vermont I really enjoy reading articles, be it from Wheel Tracks, Hemmings Muscle…

Flowers – Pruning & Blooming
I have recently come to the realization that I’m not a very good gardener. When we first moved to Underhill, being very young and having started accumulating kids, we moved into a wonderful old house that once belonged to Gael’s grandparents. Gael’s Grandma Bessie was an amazing gardener and she started her flower beds in…
