I live in Western Ma and lately our very small area has been in the news for so many reasons. One of them caught major headlines when Phoebe Prince killed herself because the pressure from bullying in high school became too much. Sadly everyone from students, parents, and even school officials were aware of what was going on and no one did anything. Maybe if they had she would still be here. Maybe … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday Western Massachusetts Photo Aerials of Tornado!
It was one moment I wasn't expecting when I walked into my hotel room when I arrived in Chicago. In fact it was almost surreal. I turned on my TV and on the Weather Channel I was watching a bunch of towns and cities getting taken out by a set of tornado's. To my horror I started recognizing the photos and videos they were showing. That wasn't just some town. That was MY town. My area. Where I … [Read more...]

Cheesy Red Potato Recipe! Great For A Summer Picnic Side!

So when I find a simple and easy side dish in both preparing and clean up and everyone raves about it I know it's a keeper! Line a cake pan with tin foil and preheat your oven for 300. First, cut up a bunch of red potatoes keeping the skins on. Wash them first. Then slice an onion as … [Read more...]
