FALL INTO ... TRADITION!

OLD TIME BISCUITS (FROM THE SUNDAY PAPER)

Who does not love a good biscuit? This recipe was from an old, 1927 house I once lived in. I bought the house from a man who had grown up there (he was 65 when he sold it to me). This was his mom’s biscuit recipe that she made for him when he was growing up. He gave it to me to carry on the tradition with my own kids. He loved his mom so much he painted the kitchen a beautiful, light, sunny yellow in her honor. (I promised him we would always keep it that way).

Take a quiet moment and whip these up. It will make the whole house smell so good!

Greetings!

This time of year always has me reflecting on what I have learned this past year, and what I am grateful for. While this year had its challenges with the pandemic still in motion, I learned that connected conversations are invaluable. 

During these critical times, the trust, openness, and mutually-supportive conversations I had with our clients, our Platinum team, and my own family taught me the true power and importance of community. I am so grateful for that, and for you, – for taking a moment to spend time with us in our little newsletter.

I hope your holiday season sets off to a great start, full of joy and abundance.

Warm regards,

Michael
