Winding Down

I get really sad when the staff kids leave. The progressive dinner was on the ninth, before they started to escape back into their non-summer lives. We had appetizers at Bobbi's, salad at Gaylin's, dinner at the Hoetgers' and dessert at the Whites'.







We ended up on the Clarks' deck at the end of the evening to read our summer staff letters. What a gift community is! I love watching each year's group of strangers become family.
