Your Presence is Gift Enough

In this corner of our garden a Laughing Buddha and reflection ball bring us to the quiet spaces in our lives. We're blessed with wonderful families, friends, a lovely home, opportunities for travel, and work that we both love. We're grateful for an abundance of things that enrich our home and lives. Our relationship has been a gift of finding kindred spirits and making a joyful life together. On the wedding invitation we noted that "your presence is gift enough." We are delighted that you spend time with us to celebrate our life together, in August for the wedding, or in the future if you can't be here at that time to come and visit. If you feel the need to purchase a gift we request that you make a donation in our name to any one of the generous organizations that supports a sustainable environment, education & the Arts, and positive social change. Some of our favorites organizations for land preservation and positive social change are:
