Happy 2023 Everyone,
It’s winter (sort of) and a new year. Although the
weather has been less than cold and snowy, it’s still not
hot and sweaty so I’m good. I finished off my holiday
events with a Gingerbread House display, The Magical
Elf House and Winter Wonderland. Not sure what I
was thinking doing three weekend events in a row but FEATURED
I had so much help. Thank you to everyone. I say it
all the time, but I could never do what I do without a Slate School: Curiosity-Based
huge group of friends, sponsors and supporters. And 6 Learning
for those of you that visited The Magical Elf House,
three Moms (angel moms to me) Amy, Susan and by Marisa Hexter
Stacy decorated the whole house. Definitely not my
Jill DeChello wheelhouse. I’m a minimalist who hates to dust.
Editor 10 The Story of the Secret Spoon
So much is going on in town. I had a luncheon a few by Sally Brockett
weeks back to introduce some of the newer ladies in town to everyone
and it was so much fun. Mike Freda, Dave Yaccarino and Ray Andrewsen
even made an appearance. If you haven’t heard, we have a new massage 14 Pitch Pines Park
therapist, Angela (my appointment is in a few weeks). We also have a new by Susan A. Iverson
Magic Hands, Hand Car Wash, owned by Yvette. Love her. There is a picture
of our lunch group on page 20.

My resolutions for this year – a local town tv show, a decadent dessert party,
murder mystery, a cocktail party that will transport you to other countries and
. . . it’s the 5 year anniversary of The Magical Elf House – so maybe an Elf
Invasion of North Haven. If you want to help, reach out to me at wincmarket@
aol.com. We laugh a lot! CONTENT
