Our story tonight is called The Librarian, and it’s a story about the quiet of the closed-up library at the end of the day. It’s also about the books that sometimes get overlooked on the top shelf, a string of lights over an outdoor table, and knowing what your next book will be.

Our story tonight is called Thunder and Lightning, and it’s a story about slowing down and getting comfortable as the rain comes down. It’s also about cinnamon and clove, a candle’s flame reflected in a window pane, a sofa turned into a nest for afternoon napping and the calm and quiet that comes when mother nature takes over.

Our story tonight is called Chef and Sycamore, and it’s the second part of last week’s story called Pickle Season. It’s a story about an afternoon in the kitchens at the Inn as jars of pickles are lowered into the canner. It’s also about sheets of labels ready to add to the jars, the view of the hammocks in the sideyard, and a kitty waiting not-so-patiently to play.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Project Lifesaver. Project Lifesaver is the premier search and rescue program operated internationally by public safety agencies; they provide timely responses to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children with the propensity to wander due to a cognitive condition.
