    Thanksgiving Traditions

    ByMary Crozier November 16, 2019November 16, 2019

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve prepared Thanksgiving dinner. I’m trying not to panic that Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away. This weekend I am determined to put a menu together and think about the table setting. The good news is that my son will be flying home to stay for a…

    An Afternoon Tea with Rhys Bowen

    ByMary Crozier April 3, 2018July 23, 2020

    A few weeks ago, we hosted a charitable tea with New York Times Bestselling author, Rhys Bowen.  The monies raised from that afternoon go the Family to Family Foundation. This foundation provides scholarships to students in rural El Salvador who, due to lack of funds, would otherwise be unable to receive an education. When my son was…
