It's is all about Fred's

When we decided to sell our long time business in a small New England town people were somewhat upset, (that might be an understatement), others were excited for us saying we deserved a retirement. Just for the record it is my husband who is retired, I am not and probable never will be. I can't just not have something other than deciding what I should do with my time in my thoughts. I believe I need a purpose and like millions of other middle age middle income people...need money and of course insurance. Regardless of that fact, when we decided to sell everyone said..."Fred's will die without you two." We laughed and said "no, we have found a young couple who really seem to want to carry on a way of life that is sadly disappearing in America." We were wrong they didn't even make it a year. Alas this blog isn't about them it is about the rich history of the place, its' people, which read like a cast of diverse characters, the lives it touched and the memories of those who were lucky enough to be included in the cast. Not exaggerating I have been asked to write the stories which make the memories of Fred's even more vivid, dozens of times.

Where do I begin...obviously at the end. More to come very soon.
