A sunny, but VERY cold, day, perfect for staying inside and reading through the New York Times Sunday edition and our local newspaper. All this cold weather will make India's warmth in a couple of weeks all the more welcome!
Among all its many articles today, the Metro section of the Cleveland Sunday Plain Dealer carried a nice, long, illustrated article about yesterday's Shaker Heights street sign sale, making the same point about how the response indicated something special about the nature of our local community identification hereabouts.
A few days ago the paper carried a similar article focusing on the Plymouth Church of Shaker Heights' Candy Circle concluding its activities after some ninety-five years of twice annual gatherings to make hand-dipped chocolates for sale to benefit various church projects and activities. This morning the entire Plymouth congregation honored all those taking a hand in these sessions over the decades with a valedictory during the service followed by a Silver Coffee (using silver donated by the Candy Circle years ago) and announcement that their final project would be to donate the needed funds for a total renovation of the Conference Room, hereafter to be known as the "Candy Circle Conference Room" -- a nice way to honor all those years of service to the congregation (to say nothing of all the sweetness provided during that time)!
Yet another reminder of the very special nature of this particular community ...
