Hi Friend,

Happy Friday to you!

Wow is it raining here in Devens. Sheets. Giant puddles. No drought for us. We'd run around because its so heavy if it weren't also thundering and lightning.

How are you?

We have a mix of members away and members here, which is a sure sign that it's the season to recharge in all ways.
