You are the best of the best moms! Giving your children such enriching experiences are the envy of all parents. AND raising a daughter that is so content with her life that no changes are needed heading into a New Year is the tip on the iceberg. Bravo!

I used to host Stone Soup parties with my kids' friends when they were little. I'd start with a clean stone and then everyone would add an ingredient they brought (prepared) as I read the book aloud. Such fun!!

People are always saying Gary looks like Willie Nelson!! Once at the airport in London the ticket lady said he looked like Willie Nelson and I innocently said, "I love my Willie!" and that poor woman nearly fell over she was laughing so hard because in the UK the word "Willie" means something else!! 😳

That's hilarious! And Stone Soup is what Louise prepared at the farm. That's what we'll try next!
