Wishing you joy and many blessings this holiday season.

I've never lived in a city before. Dover is not a huge city, but big for New Hampshire. I have never seen a person sleeping on a city bench before, but just the other day I did. How lucky I am to have food and a place to live. It also makes me determined to help in some way. It's the age old question, I want to help but how? As I look ahead to spending Christmas with my family, I also vow to help at a food pantry and continue smiling and chatting with people on the street (having two big pretty dogs are a great ice breaker). I hope you are safe and warm and that your holidays are blessed, Debbie
