Happy Thanksgiving

November 28, 2024November 29, 2024

Our Thanksgiving started with coffee, muffins and the parade. Next, we headed out for a mailbox meet up with friends. They are from the Czech Republic and have a tradition of celebrating neighbors with a shot of plum brandy. :-)

We enjoyed a traditional feast at my mother in law’s house. One of the first things I said was that we have to get a pic. AND, we left without a pic. After a short nap, we went to a little gathering at John’s best friend’s house.

I hope that you and yours enjoyed a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Well as it turns out, the mushroom and farro soup was a huge hit and Honey and Whit loved… Read More

Remembering Matthew

November 22, 2024November 22, 2024

Seventeen years ago today was Thanksgiving. It was also the the first last time I held my son Matthew. He was the tiniest baby I’d ever seen, and also the most perfect, but he was not born into this world alive. I treasure the few hours I had to hold him, and used every second… Read More
