Cooking with Susie Q – Week of December 14, 2022
I think many of us may need to slow down, take a look around, and decide what’s really important. Is it the big gift? The big tree?

Cooking with Susie Q – Week of December 7, 2022
I had another request for our liquid laundry detergent. Kathryn says she hasn’t used it yet, but was excited to try it. Have a good time with it, Kathryn. I also have another recipe for a non-toxic, yet successful cleaner.

The language of ‘horse’
A summer Saturday can be interesting. Does one know what a horse is? It’s easy to see a horse. It’s got two small ears, a tail, four legs and a round belly. It can be ridden or pull a sulky. And they can have opinions that do not suffer foolish types.

To the editor:
Anyone who attended Caribou’s Hometown Heroes gala on Nov. 10 surely was in awe of the ladies and gentlemen who were honored for their accomplishments in their community. Each had a hands-on contribution to making our city a better and safer place to live, to work and to grow.

Aroostook’s own national Christmas tree
It has been a tradition for the president of the United States to light a national Christmas tree beginning in 1923 with President Calvin Coolidge. One year, that tree came from northern Maine and created many “firsts” for the tree program.

A difficult goodbye
His soft ivory curls were wrapped around my finger as I examined every part of his body with cloudy eyes, my free hand stroking his shoulders as I told him, for probably the millionth time during his 12 years on earth, that I loved him. I told him he was beautiful — the most beautiful Goldendoodle in the world.

Best of luck to our senator
To the editor:
We may be very fortunate to have a smart up-and-coming young politician in our city of Presque Isle trying to get a better handle on our utility charges. I hope it can be figured out that most of it comes from greed that probably cannot be controlled, as it is at the present time.
