Happy Thanksgiving

This iconic painting by Norman Rockwell is called "Freedom from Want". Always fun to look at - in all it's idealized glory. In the mad flurry of travel, or cooking, or whatever it is you do for the holiday, we wish you a very happy one!

This Little Piggy Wins the Contest!

It was almost impossible to choose a winner in our Halloween contest - have you even seen a more darling bunch of trick-or-treaters? This dear shaggy pink piggy won by an edge - the originality of this (homemade?) costume just pushed it over the finish line.

We'll be contacting the winner shortly with the $75 Gift Certificate.
Thank you all for sending those great photos!

A President for a New Generation

I just got this week's copy of New York Magazine in the mail, and I'm loving the cover image. The past week was a monumental one in so many ways. Our country made a decision to vote for a real change in our government, and these changes will affect all of us in the coming years.

But what this cover made me think about is the fact that for many of us, Barack Obama will be the first president that our children will know. This is so significant in terms of our country's history and more importantly, its future. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
