A Time for Reflection and Gratitude

Hello Everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving! It is with light and grateful hearts that we write today - the day before Thanksgiving. As Sandy and I prepare for tomorrow, we are reminded how very lucky we are to have our families, each other and friends old and new.

As we count our own blessings, we realize how important it is to remember those less fortunate. For several years now, Sandy has hosted a wreath making party at her home. She invites her sisters and friends (and encourages each of them to bring another friend), out to her beautiful old barn, and this wonderful, warm and creative group of women make and decorate live wreaths and swags that are then sold, and all of the proceeds are donated to a local charity. This is also a great opportunity for the women to eat, drink and be merry, as the barn is filled with the chatter of kindred spirits. This wonderful event is taking place on Sunday, November 30. I plan to have lots of photos to share with all of you.

We wish each of you a warm, wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
