This is an exciting moment in the life of the Skippack Blogger. I am doing something new: Live blogging. I write my thoughts directly into the WordPress app on my brand new iPad, while I explore Skippack. Thanks to Mrs. Skippack Blogger for finding room for the iPad in our budget. My...
How My Two Sons Saved...

The holiday season began with a storm of activity. By early October, pre-Halloween craziness had taken hold of my family. Our children, two high-energy boys, Sean, age 9, and Keagan, age 6, weren't the only ones responsible for the commotion. My wife Melissa and I contributed to the madness. We wanted our children to have the perfect costumes, which Melissa insisted on making herself. And nothing ever seemed enough; we needed more candy, more decorations, always more. Just a couple days before Halloween, Hurricane Sandy blew into town. We discovered we were powerless; literally powerless for forty hours. But Sean and Keagan reminded us of a way to turn the holiday power back on: put the focus on helping others.

A Midsummer’s Guide to Skippack
posted by Michael Shaw
There are two different ways to enjoy summer in Skippack Village, each is symbolic of a different approach to life itself. The Roar of the Crowd The town offers up its big events. Just follow the crowd. Fourth of July Memories The Fourth of July, already now a memory, brought cheering masses to our main street, Skippack Pike. People lined up to see born-to-be-wild motorcyclists, classic cars, flamboyant mummers, brave firefighters, marching musicians called Reilly Raiders, civic-minded business owners in clever floats, water-blasting deck washers and more – all proceeding down Skippack Pike to enthusiastic applause.

At the Skippack Fire Company: A Twenty-Year Mystery Revealed
