Sipping Saturday
The Turquoise Table is off to a good start! So far we have had 2 Sipping Saturdays and a Light the Night event for Halloween.
This Sipping Saturday we had a small group but so much fun! There were 4 women and a darling 2 year old who brought a lot of life to the table. We had coffee and cinnamon rolls as well as a few other noshes. Even though the temperature was only in the 40’s, none of us felt cold. The hot coffee, sweet cinnamon rolls, and warm fellowship made a delightful combination.
The mailman stopped for a wave and a shout out….”It feels so festive out here!” was his comment. That earned him a cookie.
There is something that feels festive when you sit in your front yard. It creates a neighborly feeling. Everyone who drove past offered friendly big waves which we returned in kind.
There is something about being present to others, about offering yourself, that brings a warm festive feel to life. It brings life and zest to world weary souls. This is the feeling I want to experience more often.
The Turquoise Table not only helps build community…it provides extraordinary moments in my ordinary life.
