We hosted our first Bridal Shower in the "Petit Chateau" here at Rivers & Bridges! I had a blast doing the flowers and setting up for our "Bridgerton Inspired" party!

There's a whole lot of mowin', blowin', washing' and scrubbing going on at Rivers & Bridges! Getting our pretty on to welcome all of you here this Saturday for Celebrate America Day!

Bring the Kiddos! We have games galore just for them and the Silk Hope Volunteer Fire Department is bringing a Fire Truck just for them!

Lunch & Beverages will be available from a variety of Food Trucks, Jordan Pickett is going to sing for us and I get to sing the Anthem again! ...which is going to be extra special - and probably a bit emotional - as it will be the first time I get to sing The Star Spangled Banner as a Citizen of this AMAZING Country!

We start at 12 Noon and admission is FREE!

Can't wait to see all the beautiful people of our Community in Red, White and Blue! Sx

Our Spring Wedding Season is done and dusted! ... and now it's time for my absolute FAVORITE event on our Calendar every 2 years!

It is "Celebrate America Day" next weekend here at Rivers & Bridges! ...a day of Family-fun, Food and Music for all who LOVE this Country and want to Celebrate with us!

This will be our 3rd time hosting this event... which started with a "small" Celebration in our home with 107 people in 2020 and grew into a Beautiful Celebration at our venue in 2022!

I can't WAIT to see all of the Patriots of Chatham County here next week! We will be decking the halls in Red, White and Blue! ...just for you! Sx

Dis net na 4 in die oggend en ek sit op my stoep in my Pajamas en 'n jas met 'n beker koffie! Gesels oor so 10 minute met Jacques op Luister FM!

Dear Lord,

Today we give thanks for all we have and had
For memories of days gone by, both happy and sad
For all that makes us whole – for hurdles and for goals
For brothers, sisters, children, Mom and Dad.

We gather from the bounty You provide
With those we love tucked safely by our side
We pray that You protect us – keep us safe and Bless us
While by Your sacred teaching, we abide.

We think of those less fortunate today
And that You Bless them too Lord, so we pray
We hold dear our family - for this Lord we give thanks to Thee
That Grace will guide us while we’re on our way.

Amen

Happy Thanksgiving! Sx
