This time of year offers an opportunity to reflect gratefully on the blessings we have received throughout the past year. To keep this brief, I’ll focus on one: The Gift of Work. We are thankful for the opportunity to use our skills to serve our clients and community through design and volunteer efforts.

OK, another: We appreciate living in and working in and around Northfield, a place of vibrant dialog and discussion, beautiful architecture, and engaging people.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. May this season be filled with joy, love and prosperity for you.

Peter and Mary Schmelzer
