 This is the International Year Of The Woman Farmer. Since there is exactly one woman farmer at this farm, get ready to hear all about me today! This is the May column I wrote for our local newspaper The Bulletin. The title completely describes the content of the article, so I will leave you to read it in peace. You can visit “The Common-Tater Gets Printed” to read my very first column in the paper in case you missed it.

 My Common-Tater blog has gone to print! The April edition of The Bulletin newspaper contains an article I wrote with some information that the average person may not know about potatoes and potato farming. It’s rather exciting to have my name with a headshot and a byline and everything in the local paper! Here’s hoping it’s a big hit and I can write another article another time. You can visit “BJ’s Christmas Parka Story” to see a story I wrote for the Bulletin that has nothing to do with potatoes and everything to do my most vivid childhood memory of Christmas.
 Do you remember when you had to write a short story titled “How I Spent My March Break” when you returned to school? Well here’s what Curtis did on his March Break:
The East Gwillimbury Public Library organized many activities over the March Break under the general theme of “Farming.” Curtis was very happy to assist young farming enthusiasts learn all about tractors at a special event where he read them stories about tractors and answered many questions to satisfy their curious minds. Thank you to the library staff for including us in this wonderful, educational event that promoted learning about farming in our rural community. We can’t wait to come and visit you again! You can visit “Farming Equipment” to see pictures and videos of our tractors and farming equipment in action. This story I wrote was just published in the December edition of the East Gwillimbury Bulletin magazine. I was asked to write about my most cherished Christmas memory, but instead I chose to write about my most vivid Christmas memory. It dates back to 1974 when I was just 4 years old, and it’s all about the year I was naughty. And yes…every single word is true! You can visit “BJ’s Christmas Story” to read about my story about my beautiful Christmas tree that was published last year in the same magazine.
  Many thanks to editor Blair at the East Gwillimbury Bulletin who asked me to write another story for our town’s monthly newspaper. This time the article was for the Father’s Day section of the newspaper. Reflecting on the experiences I had with my dad and the influences my father had on my life was a truly wonderful trip down memory lane. I hope all of you have a chance to celebrate your dad today!
