Um, this weekend?  Magic happens.  With equal parts effort & some kinda awesome, our people come.  They travel far & nearby to celebrate as one. What began as a sprig of hope in a newlywed couple's mind has turned into an annual weekend of eating, story telling, laughter & together.  Here.  Just go there & nestle into what we have invested in this very sacred we call Cobble Gobble.

In a hurried swoop, this weekend will close just as sweetly as it began.  Our home will fill many. Kenny & I will fall a little more head over heels in love with this holiday of thanks just as we do every year. These next 3 days are for the record books.  For the times when lonely creeps and nostalgia knocks a wee bit too loud on the door of our hearts. This weekend is for family.

Celebration montage? Oh yes!  Lock that one in for next week's dose of good ole me here in this space.
