Oh, man. I can’t wait. The other night, Kris mentioned she was was going to make a couple of pies for Thanksgiving.  She asked if I had any preference.

  We used to visit Beech Hill Farm in Hopkinton all the time when we lived in Concord (David was little then, and Sofia just a baby!).  Now we still try and get up there once or twice a year.  It's a great vibe for a fall, day especially because even though it's always busy [...]
