The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    Very inviting and warm Sarah, I could pull up a chair and enjoy every pretty table item.......and then the food (except the turkey - I'm vegetarian!!).

    Have a fabulous Thanksgiving day dear - we're off on our little road trip soon - mild and sunny, trees looking colorful.
