Wonka...Cookies!

From Ann Click:

A local production of Willy Wonka is coming to town on Jan 16 – 7 pm, Jan 17 – 2 pm and 7 pm and Jan 18 – 2pm at our Middle School. For those of you who saw Annie last year you already know the quality of the production so again it would be nice to go together depending on everyone’s schedule meet for dessert or supper depending on when we go.

Cookies – The cookie date is Sunday Dec. 14 at 1 pm. Bring sugar cookies to be decorated, I will supply decorations unless you want to bring some also and I will supply bags to take cookies home in. Please contact Kelley or me if you will be coming. annc@hopkinton.org or kelleyc@hotmail.com

Mr. Bones

Hi All,
Last year Jenny and I made two episodes of the series Dogtown for National Geographic. The first episode featured a older dog named Mr. Bones. Recently, thanks to the series Mr. Bones was finally adopted. To all who are interested below is a short video about the adoption. - Jon

Libby's Marathon

The marathon was great! A really fun experience! The team that I trained with for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society was amazing! I raised $5480 which is $1585 over my goal thanks to all of your support! I ran the marathon in 4 hours and 35 minutes and felt strong the entire time! I was a little sad to have it over and I am really excited to run Boston this spring.

Cookie Decorating Day!

Ann is setting up a children's Christmas cookie decorating day at Clinton Street.

MCCAIN 14 - OBAMA 13

Holy cow! McCain wins the family straw poll by 1 vote!
McCain was ahead for a while there but Obama gave him a run for his money.

Thanks to everyone who voted. That was fun.

Is there a margin of error?

Kelley and Matt's Reno blog

Hello - I've decided to start a blog to track the renovation of our house. You can check it out at

www.143fisher.blogspot.com.

Feel free to comment. I'll try to update at least once a week, as long as there is something to share.

Enjoy. -Kelley

Westboro Renovation Begins!

Many of you know we've started our home renovation at 143 Fisher Street in Westborough. Demolition has begun and our backyard is a huge hole for the new foundation. Our plans include re-building the second floor - transforming it from a glorified attic to two bedrooms and a bathroom. We'll add another 1/2 bath, a dining room, family room and office/guest room off the back. We're so excited and wanted to share some pictures as we move through the process. Here are a few from last week. We're looking at February/March for a completion date. For now, you'll find us living back at mom's. She has already been such a HUGE help to us, we COULD NOT do it without her. Stay tuned... -Kelley, Matt, Camden and Lucy

P.S. With more space, we look forward to hosting a Nealon Christmas Party in the near future!

Libby has reached her goal!

Congratulations to Libby who has surpassed her own fundraising goal of $3,895.
Her current total is over 4 grand!
