<\/p>\nEvery night before I sleep, I run through the things I’m grateful for that day. It’s a good practice, and I’ve been doing it for years. I am so thankful for all of the wonderful kids and families that have been\u00a0bringing so much joy and satisfaction to my life in so many ways over the years. Big blessings to everyone this Thanksgiving week, and all year around.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We now have a driveway, and it’s big and generous like everything else around here. The new entrance on the side of the house is ready to receive. The door is special –\u00a0 it came from the Baker’s Chocolate Factory in Dorchester Lower Mills.\u00a0 When Jim was turning part of\u00a0the factory\u00a0into a bank, they were going the toss the door, so he retrieved it from the dumpster. Kids come in that door, leave coats and shoes in the mudroom, and come upstairs to the studio.<\/p>\n
Enjoy these turkey works, and scroll down for the class schedule.<\/p>\n
