Thank you!

One of the most delightful things that happened to me this year was a special invitation from Samantha to read to a group of junior kindergarten students she was working with. I read, My Grandma Sadie, A Splendid Squirrel Lady.

After the story, we planted flower seeds and gave each little seedling a name. ðŸŒ±

The absolute highlight came at the end, when several of the children, completely unprompted….lined up to give this giant squirrel a goodbye hug on her way out the door.

Truly one of those moments that will make me smile for a very long time.

Thank you again to Samantha for the invitation, and to Ms. Robinson at Lord Nelson Public School. 

Here’s to 2025 that shaped us, and to 2026 waiting to surprise us.

Happy New Year…it is going to be great!
