Bread & Butter Pickles

Cool as a Cucumber Bread and Butter pickles are my favorite summer flavor. I’m addicted. If you’re lucky enough to have cucumbers growing in your garden you probably share the feeling. I don’t have a garden, but we are regular members of Johnson’s Backyard Garden CSA. On Tuesdays a big box of fresh picked produce arrives on our doorstep. Right…

Popsicles and Prosecco

Longer days mean more time to enjoy gathering at the Turquoise Table with family and friends. Conversations linger well into the night and come-as-you-are is the only requirement.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
