That’s Mrs. Kravitz chopping tomatoes. The only thing slightly off about this photo is that my friend isn’t wearing an apron. In the decade we’ve been neighbors I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Mrs. Kravitz prepare a meal sans apron. We didn’t set out to have friends over for dinner this week.

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!
