Annie's owner Judy Normandin said the rising cost of fuel, wages and rent makes it tough to keep up with the economy.

I am thankful for each one. As I sit down to write for the last issue of Town Crossings, the song "So Long, Farewell" from "The Sound of Music" is running through my head. I am flooded with memories from the past three years: of school classrooms I've visited; Memorial Day parades and ceremonies I've covered; veterinarians, cooks, mail carriers, travel agents and other professional's I've profiled; the good work done by nonprofit organizations, Scout troops and churches.
