Welcoming

“Holidays

– any holiday –

are such a great opportunity

to focus on bringing

the family together.”

— Lidia Bastianich

“There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.” — Ronald Reagan
