Strawberry season is finally here in Saratoga and there's no better stage for strawberries to shine than this scrumptious, all fresh strawberry shortcake.
Greenfield resident Michael Spiak is one of many who remember that Greenfield was always a great place to grow up. Life on the working farms that seemed to connect the town like large squares sewn closely together on a patchwork quilt was full of good memories. Now that he is a family man himself, he is representative of many who would like to see that way of life preserved. Spiak and his wife Kelly, who are the parents of young children, have been working on weekends and in the evenings to be a part of reinvigorating the community's agricultural heritage with a creative twist that is bound to generate universal appeal. With the help of family, childhood friend, Andrew Conant, and co-worker Jerry Schmidt, Spiak has been actively attempting to develop vineyards of "tester" cold hardy grape varieties that will hopefully prove suitable for developing fine red and white wines after a painstaking process of research and problem solving.

Millions of people suffer from low back pain each day. Most are between the ages of 30 and 50, and many endure not only back pain, but also severe pain or numbness running into one or both legs. The result: loss of activity, inability to work and inability to participate in the activities we enjoy most. It is estimated that some 80 to 90 percent of Americans will suffer from back pain during their lifetime, about 50 percent of which will have more than one episode. Often times, you will hear the name "Sciatica" associated with this pain, and rightly so.
A visit to Doc Peacock's Greenfield Country Medicine is said by many to be a comforting return to family medicine as it was practiced prior to the advent of HMOs and before the patient became a faceless fifteen-minute time slot on the office calendar.
Have I written here before about wumpas? As in the name my darling husband's given to all manner of unknown and imaginary beasties that make our boys shriek in delighted terror?

Relationship with Mom
As Washington Irving once said, "a mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."
Dear Mom -
Once again Mother's Day is here and once again, I lament all those years that you've been gone. Can it possibly be close to 41? Unbelievable, to say the least.
Before my first child was even born, when I was heavily pregnant and doing what I could to mentally prepare for having a baby in the house, I asked my mom, "When can I expect the baby to start sleeping through the night?" Though I was over the moon that Steve and I were soon to have our baby in our arms, I was a little panicky over the thought of sleepless nights followed by days in which a nap was simply not an option.
