Eversource notices! Many people in the area who have mailed check payments to Eversource have been receiving missed payment notices or even Disconnect notices. DO call and talk to them, especially if you got a disconnect notice! Apparently there has been a problem with mailed payments in some way. You may be asked to pay over the phone, or send a replacement check. Watch your statements to see if the check has been cashed (for the same amount sent) and if so, let Eversource know that. If cashed for a different amount, let your bank know, in case they have been stolen and "washed". |

Friends Always
by Roger Robbins
Reading is about rich friendships. When the day is too long, or a moment too bleak, it is good to reach back in memory - or go to the bookshelf - and, once again, find old friends from our reading.
Miss Betsey Trotwood
Miss Trotwood was David Copperfield's spinster aunt. After David's mother died, Miss Betsey took the boy in and gave him love and a new life. An unforgettable, generous character.
Owen Meany
Owen Meany is small and awkward and has a weird voice. But he is the best friend young John Wheelwright every had. An uplifting person.
Donald "Sully" Sullivan
Sully is a "town character" with much heart and quiet generosity. He is the kind of neighbor everyone needs.

Ava can't see him or touch him, unless she's dreaming. She can't hear his voice, except for the faint whispers in her mind. Most would think she's crazy, but she knows he's here.
Jackson. The boy Ava thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. He's back from the dead, as proof that love truly knows no bounds.
