Enjoy the lazy, hazy days of summer, while you can...
Diane Johnson writes: Sandwich has returned to its usual tranquility after a very busy Old Home Week. Many thanks to all who made it a great success; lots of work goes into such a week. It was especially nice that the weather cooperated most of the week. Now before school starts up and fall activities begin, it is our time to relax and enjoy.
