A Valentine’s Day Dinner

It’s a big week y’all. Full of tradition and reasons to gather at the table. Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Valentine’s Day At our house, we’ll serve up piles of pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, begin our 40-day Lenten journey on Wednesday, and celebrate a 10th birthday on Valentine’s Day.

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®.
