Season’s Greetings
We know the holidays are hitting a little differently this year. And it is more than understandable if you, like most of us, are fatigued with this pandemic, with the divisive politics that America has become known for, and with the many struggles and uncertainty that 2020 has brought.

Fall Into Some Good Books
Fall is here, ya’ll! The turning of the leaves, the longer nights, and the official return of sweater weather is more than enough reason to burrow under the covers with a great book and your favorite cup of tea.
