The blindfold, […]| Thru Violet's Lentz
As we gather in bucolic celebration of Our Lord’s most gracious gifts I breathe in the dulcet air- redolent with the aroma of our prosperity: roasted turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie, and may we be reminded with each fragrant bite- of the blessings bestowed upon us- through His Divine Providence.
