My Life
at
THE MARSHFIELD HILLS
GENERAL STORE

Long before Steve Carell expanded his celebrity and became famous for his role as “country store owner”,  the Marshfield Hills General Store had a century and a half history.  The village of Marshfield Hills is populated by a wide cross section of humanity – some whose families date back to the Civil War, many who have moved there from other states and other countries.  Some are successful business people, artists, writers, musicians, teachers doctors, celebrities – young, old and in between.  The store has served as the center of village activities for decades and the walls have plenty of stories to tell!

In My Life at the Marshfield Hills General Store, I introduce readers to many local characters and the stories that unfolded during my ‘turn’ as caretaker of the Store, which ended with its sale to Steve Carell at the end of 2008.  With vintage and contemporary photographs, I hope this collection of stories will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone who is familiar with the area, or who just loves anything pure Americana!

“….a blessing of a book.” – Ray Amorosi, Poet

“…a delightful read.” – Richard Wainwright, author of The Tale of the Scituate Lightkeeper’s Daughter

“…Sherry’s fine book thoughtfully and lovingly brings to life the store and its people for the 21st century.” – Dick Hall, Historian

Steven Tyler as Elvis

Halloween at the Store!

“Halloween came, with swarms of costumed kids and their parents visiting the Store for Trick or Treat, cider and donuts on the porch. Lots of photos. Cute babies. Giggling children. ”  from My Life at the Marshfield Hills General Store, a collection of short stories by Sherry Campbell Bechtold

Halloween was always a pretty big deal in our neighborhood….because it WAS a neighborhood.  Our first year in the Hils, we decorated, stocked up with bowls full of goodies and ran out of candy by sunset. Bob had to scurry over to CVS in Scituate for reinforcement.  Lesson learned, over the years, we prepared mightily for the event – particularly as younger families moved in.

The ability viagra 50mg price to get and maintain an erection is dependent upon the health of the vascular system excluding that of the heart and brain. ED is treatable at any age, and 100mg tablets of viagra can also have an influence on a man’s self-esteem.

Newborn babies who visit to find out more india viagra online are colicky, suffer from gastric reflux, have allergies, have chronic infections and have difficulties with breastfeeding are associated with problems in the central nervous system. Back then, I was so preoccupied with career and commuting, most of the folks who showed up at our door were almost complete strangers…even the famous ones that I may have recognized if they hadn’t been in cognito.  Steven Tyler, his wife Theresa and the two kids were regulars from Day One. Much later, when we owned the Store and hosted Trick or Treat there, the Talarico (Steven’s actual name) family was always a big hit.  The last year that I remember them showing up together, he walked in the door dressed as Elvis.  I said “Wow, you’re dressed as MY rock ‘n roll idol!”  And, Theresa, right behind him replied “Mine too.”  I don’t think he heard that.  Or maybe he did and just chose to ignore.

The Store Halloweens were the best.  I always played “War of the Worlds” on the CD player, dimmed the lights, opened the front door, set out the refreshments and candy in big bowls so the kids could make their own choices.  Patty dressed up as a witch. She had the most believable cackle!  Made my flesh crawl.  EVERYONE stopped in – sometimes to get warm and always to visit, laugh, take photos.  Did I mention it was wonderful?  It was.  Think I miss it all?  I do.
