Once, in a blue moon, ...

“There’s that one day, just one day, that makes a summer, a year…tonight out on the lake with kids swimming, the sunset, the full moon rising, followed by a surprise fireworks display…this was the day.”

These words, spoken by our nephew around a fire with friends and family, define why we do what we do.  To give the opportunity to get together, to gather and to get to know you.  To laugh and to remember, to agree or disagree, but politely or maybe loudly, and to learn.

I hope you had the night of nights this past weekend, like we did.  I hope you enjoyed the company of loved ones you see often, as well as those you see rarely, like we did.  I hope you laughed hard at silly things, at fond memories and grew reflective for a moment for people and times past and are grateful, so grateful, for what you have been given, like we are. 

‘til next we meet, sweet family, dear friends.
