Don’t you wish you could press pause on the grieving process during the holiday season? I remember wishing I could do just that during the first (and several) holiday season following the painful loss of a loved one in my life.

That conflict still exists many years later. Grief is complicated and unique for everyone. While accepting loss becomes eas...

Josaphyna De Villiers was born on May 21, 1894, to Willem and Dominique De Villiers. Although she entered this world in these United States of America, Josaphyna was of French ancestry, with both sets of grandparents having migrated to these shores from the South of France, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Her grandparents, both paternal and maternal, had kept a certain part of their heritage a secret, as they had, in a manner of speaking, been forced to leave the land of their nativity. They...

Once in a while it is fine to indulge, so a resolution to entertain more or to explore new baking opportunities can spice things up in the year ahead. People aspiring to spend more time in the kitchen can celebrate winter baking and National Chocolate Cake Day (January 27)...

As the plans progressed, they decided to pair the event with Whitehall’s Stroll night and to raise awareness of the Whitehall Food Pantry. The plans included community members making wreaths that would be sold after the open house. Six beautiful wreaths were displayed. After the open house wound down, i...
