A Quote from Holly B's Cookbook

"With Love and Butter, An Island Cookbook and Memoir"

"We are a community of service-providing people, retirees, artists, and vacationers. We build homes, service and sell boats, teach our children, provide rooms for visitors; grow local produce, sheep, chickens, and beef; create art, write songs, landscape yards, preserve the local environment, compose poetry, concoct herbal remidies, forge tools, collect history, cook meals, and bake bread.

We love potlucks, community causes, music, and plays. We will stick our necks out to help neighbors and friends. We buy lots of raffle tickets. We like solitude and we love a good party."
