Well, we’re back. Vacation sure does fly by. I don’t think we missed too much in town. Stow gets very quiet this time of year.

Another school year is quickly passing as the Class of 2013 will step across the stage to receive their diplomas this coming weekend. I can imagine the parents (and the kids) shaking their heads and thinking, “How did that happen so fast?” The 4 years of high school seem to be the quickest of all….
