Thank you Southbury and Woodbury clergy!

Arlo Guthrie posted on Facebook today that Alice Brock died last week. She was immortalized in the song “Alice’s Restaurant” released in 1967 and based on real events that occurred in 1965.
It was 59 years ago on Thanksgiving…
Sing a song about Alice tonight…

One of my favorite parts of the evening. Reading in my chair while my wife reads to our youngest and our oldest reads to herself.
(I sometimes read to our youngest, but they’ve been reading this series and it’s all she wants)
(Youngest also devours books herself)
