By Paul Heller For the Weekend Magazine Sep 14, 2019; In 1885 George Lawson milked 38 cows on his hill farm in Barre. Every day, he separated the cream from the milk, and then churned the cream into butter. Lawson shipped 14 tubs of fresh, sweet butter to Boston each week. Each tub contained 20 pounds of butter, for a total of 280 pounds a week.
Hallo everyone! I hope that you have a wonderful weekend, I plan to be very busy visiting with friends and family, unpacking, cleaning our apartment and getting it stocked with groceries because there is nothing in the cabinets! I will also sort through lots of mail and magazines that have been arriving since we were here last in December - 8 months of mail is quite daunting but I have lots of German and Dutch design magazines in the pile waiting for me along with some nice catalogs so it will be FUN to sort through it all.
I love fun mail (no bills, yet). The weather is beautiful here - tons of sunshine and warm temps - so the welcome to Germany couldn't be any nicer.Here's some loot from London, I picked these magazines up yesterday there before catching our flight. I couldn't believe it when our flight was only 55 minutes from London to Hannover - wow! I can't believe how close I live to one of my favorite cities in the world.
Watch out London, I'm flying back up to visit you knowing how close I am and how cheap it is to grab flights.I hope you have a nice weekend my dear friends, I'll be popping in over the next few weeks to say hello and post from time to time, but I have lots of lovely guests sharing their favorite things to keep you busy while I'm getting my life set up and such. Hope you've been enjoying My Favorite Things. I think it's a wonderful way to not only learn more about some great people, but through their words (I've been editing them so of course I'm reading along too!) I think each of them are inspiring in so many different ways - though the message running through them all is clear - we all have cherished things in our home and it's important to pause and reflect on that fact and realize that we don't always need to run out and shop or be like anyone else when we're decorating.
We can decorate using what we love as all of my contributors have been showing on decor8 over the past week.Remember - the best things in life are really are free - our cherished possessions but also our memories and interactions with others - who inspires us, what advice we've heard that made a difference, these kinds of things, don't you think? I hope that as you've been following My Favorite Things that you've been putting together a mental list of some of your favorite things too. What would you list? What is the best advice you've been given?

The magazine began with a circulation of 900,000 and peaked in the 1960s when it was carried in 41 newspapers and had a circulation of 2.5 million, making it the largest circulation magazine in Canada. In 1959 a French-language edition, Perspectives, was launched.In the mid-1960s the newspaper chain launched its own newspaper supplement, The Canadian which replaced Weekend in Southam's newspapers and competed with Weekend for advertising, talent and readers.
In addition, the introduction of into Canada in the late 1960s also hurt the magazine. In 1969, Weekend and The Canadian merged their marketing, advertising, and printing departments in order to cut costs but remained editorial competitors.Frank Lowe, who was the magazine's editor in the early 1970s, had a pet project he called 'The Vanishing Canada'. The project consisted of publishing stories and photos about disappearing ways of life, of which two were the cover stories 'Fishing the Great Lakes: a dying business' (Feb. 5, 1972) and 'Last Winter of a Farming Man' (April 1, 1972); both featured text and photos by journalist.John Macfarlane became editor in 1976 and eliminated staff writers, using freelance writers and editors instead, allowing him to redirect cost savings to the magazine's travel budget allowing the magazine to adopt an international focus, for example sending to to write a feature on the thirtieth anniversary of the and author to Africa to write a piece on Canadian missionaries.
Groundbreaking pieces included 'Gay in the '70s', an article exploring an issue that had usually been ignored by Canadian media and featuring a picture of prominent gay Canadians The Canadian responded by emphasizing a national editorial focus.In 1977, the magazine's editorial offices moved to. In 1979, with both publications losing readers and ad revenue being lost to, Weekend merged with its rival to become Canadian Weekend which was renamed Today in March 1980, before ceasing publication in 1982.
