As always, I want to say how much I love your blog. I don't have time to read as many blogs as I used to, but yours always sticks. Thanks again for taking the time to put your thoughtful voice out there.

It snowed here on Sunday, but we didn't get nearly the amount you did, and it's all gone now anyhow. My poor tomatoes... it dropped way below freezing in the greenhouse so they're goners. It did seem like it was a really quick transition from Summer to Winter, I agree, but at least our trees turned color first. I agree that the Supper Club sounds like fun. :) Wow… you did get a lot of snow! It snowed here on Sunday, but we didn’t get nearly the amount you did, and it’s all gone now anyhow.

I've tried to get that going with some couples but it just doesn't ever seem to fly. Which might be good, because one of our friends is allergic to onions, and I can't cook without them.
