of memories of friends and family who have shared with their favorite recipes
that have now become some of mine, including my aunt’s Swedish torte, half of
the cookies I bake for Christmas each year, my mother’s hot fudge sauce, and the
meatball stroganoff we ate last night for dinner.

WEST BOYLSTON— The West Boylston Bicentennial Web site is counting down the
days, minutes, hours and seconds until the town’s 200th anniversary. With 91
days to go, the plans for a yearlong celebration are coming together.

Sterling after 30 families led by Ezra Beaman built a church on what is now the
Common so that they would not have to travel to Boylston for church services and
town meetings. More >> |
