There is a lot we would all like to forget about this year. But it had its high points too for me and my family. I got married and being Patrick Holladay's wife is definitely a high point! We moved into a dream house with boys and dogs and even planted a garden. I found out just how blessed I am in my family, friends, mud family, work family, and this community.
So I hope we remember to love our neighbors, lend a hand, drop off supplies, and shop close to home. Let's keep seeking out local farmers, local art, and local services. Our community pulling together and supporting each other is something I don’t want us to forget.
It does my heart good to know and support the makers and farmers that helped make our Christmas 2020 breakfast beautiful and delicious. We started decorating the table with foraged greenery collected near Village Creek Landing and added heirloom placemats made by Patrick's Grandmother, Mama T and cloth napkins by Dot & Army, and Guale inspired plates by me. We enjoyed eggs and potatoes from Uncle Don's Local Market topped with micro greens from Green Way Gardens LLC. It just wouldn't be Christmas without citrus and these satsumas from Grassroots Farms were a real treat!
Here's to remembering the high points.
