Producing maple syrup is more then just making a product for our family – it’s a connection to our family past present and future. The memories and the love we have.
Hue Martha Edith and Juliet
Aunt Juliet said “If you didn’t have supper ready before noon it wasn’t going to happen”. There’s a whole lot of truth in that – I find if I don’t have anything thought of and started before noon there’s a good chance they’ll be having cereal for supper. The same goes for so many other chores around the house. So today Aunt Juliet would be proud of me – errands are run, laundry’s going, dishes are washing and bookwork is well underway – oh and the family will have fish soup waiting in the crockpot!
One of many get together’s at Aunt Edith’s brick house on the hill in Derby Line Vermont.

We recently lost my Great Aunt Martha and I wanted to find a photo to share. Aunt Margaret is the only one left from this generation of memorable people. Aunt Irene had already passed when this photo was taken. The occasion was Hue and Orpha’s 40th wedding anniversary. From left to right are Edith Selby, Hue , Martha McAllister, Sheridan, Margaret Kelley, Juliette Wing, Bunk.
