Camelot

I’m thrilled to have Stephanie share her turquoise table story with you today! These beautiful words and her moving story were recently published in her Dallas area neighborhood newsletter. Stephanie’s story has reminded me that front yard people span generations and the invitation to the table? It’s always open. Thank you Stephanie for sharing your story and for being Front Yard People!   Front Yard…

Hosting A Multigenerational Coffee

I heard my home phone ring, but couldn’t find the receiver. We never use our landline anymore. The calls are automated anyways — from the pharmacy reminding us to pick up a prescription or a pre-recorded political message. I felt a familiar nudge, the one that moves me into action. This time it prompted me to listen to the message…

A Big God Dream

Earlier this week, I posed the question on Facebook: If you were to receive a ridiculous amount of money with no strings attached, what would you do?

31 Days: I Dare You!

Have you ever taken a dare? What about a double dog dare? Those are super hard to resist. What about a dare in the name of Jesus? To be honest, I’ve never thought of a dare in the name of Jesus. It makes me all squirmy. Like it might be sacrilegious or something. But, when I read these words by…

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!

Inauguration January 20, 1993. 🇺🇸 I was a br Inauguration January 20, 1993. 🇺🇸 I was a bright-eyed, young Hill staffer, full of enthusiasm for politics, our government, and America. I actually thought I’d be a senator or maybe even President one day. 🤪

I’m more realistic, reserved and battle weary thirty years later. But, I still believe in a place called hope.

Said goodbye to 2020 and welcomed 2021 in our happ Said goodbye to 2020 and welcomed 2021 in our happy place @ymcarockies We’ve packed it all in— sledding, skating, hiking, vision boards, celebrated our 23rd anniversary, and kicked off the New Year this morning with a 5k. I even found time to sit and stitch by the fire. 

Sure feels like we are making up for lost time and setting our hope for the year ahead. Happy New Year friends!!

No coffee on the porch for me this morning! I’ll No coffee on the porch for me this morning! I’ll stay by the fire. We made the 16 hour trek to start the new year in our happy place. We’ve never been here the week between Christmas and NYE and we’re excited to explore in the snow. ❄️ I’m already laughing at our summer stash of clothes we keep here —cotton leggings, hoodies, and fishing boots. Feel free to laugh with and at me. Also winter friends—give me all your tips.
