We are again hosting our Cards and Garments in the Garden on the patio where you will find my cards as well as a 2023 calendar this year and Eileen’s hand-knitted items and handmade jewelry.

It would be lovely to see you in person! But, if you can’t make it to this event, remember that you can also get in touch with either of us by email.
For September 1, the opening lines of a poem by Phillis Wheatley (emancipated from slavery in 1774).

As a fundraiser, Jim has created a T-shirt. It reads: PUTIN IS A D!¢K in Ukrainian. (It has had thumbs up from the Ukrainian refugees staying in our neighborhood and the protestors outside the Russian Embassy.) All proceeds go to the International Rescue Committee and World Central Kitchen. A shirt is $25 if you pick it up, plus $6 if you want it shipped. Sizes S, M, and L. If you are interested, email eachdayisacelebration@gmail.com.
