for the holidays this year, i travelled to a suburb city of nashville, brentwood, about 25 minutes south of the music city my daughter and her family recently moved there to be closer to her husband's office and for the girls to be enrolled in a popular school system. my flight was on what seemed like a dragonfly it was so small. luckily, it went without incident and i arrived on time and was greeted by my son-in-law and 2 year old grandson. after dinner of shrimp and grits, we were off to a christmas eve service at the largest church i have ever visited. wow. the sanctuary was round with balconies and a 150 plus choir and an orchestra. there were 8 ministers and many acolytes as well as soloists and a trio of high school singers. we sang christmas songs while my grandchildren licked lollipops to stay contented. the highlight of the evening was the lighting of the individual candles each of us was handed as we entered. after the candles were lit, we all stood, held the candles high and sang silent night. imagine the sight...2,000 glowing candles and the people singing that beautiful song.

CAROLE NEWELL
as the former owner of Samantha's Cafe & Catering, carole loves to eat. she grew up on a farm in northern ny, where at a given time of year, there was fresh meat for the freezer. often, on a sunday, a chicken made its way into the "pot". there was unpasteurized milk, cream for homemade ice cream and sulfur water from the well. life was as good as it gets. after college at potsdam, she made her way to glens falls. in 1986, with her husband's help, she started her business named after her daughter the focus was originally on homemade soups, breads from scratch, customer service and having a great time. still, there is the same focus, but now we factor in "green", and local products. good, healthy food can always be found at samantha's. we hope you love to eat, too!
