By Margaret Evans, Editor Dear reader, I’m writing to you from church. Seriously, I’m sitting on the red-velvety back pew of First Presbyterian, where we’re hosting a prayer vigil for Mental Health Awareness today. I volunteered to man the sanctuary for a couple of hours, and since I’m virtually incapable of praying for two minutes straight, much less two hours, I thought it best to bring a notebook and pen. (A computer just seemed tacky.)
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and it's time to start planning your dinner menu. Are you looking for a new twist on some traditional recipes? You've come to the right place! The menu this week features a Turkey Breast Roulade stuffed with, what else? Stuffing! Extra stuffing is baked as a side dish and everything is smothered in gravy.

In the windbreak of pine trees planted 30 years ago to slow winter’s westerly winds upon the camellia garden and that side of the house, one of the trees, now some 60 feet high, had succumbed to age or disease.
I was strolling under these glorious, gothic live oaks with friends last Saturday. More family than friends, actually; Charlie and I were back together again with the members of the Chevy Crew: Sully and his wife Denise, Fitz and Sandra, Dade and Lydia, and honoree inductee Joye and her husband Taylor.
