Merry Christmas to all our friends!

Thanks to you for all your support this past year. We will be celebrating with a Christmas Eve dinner and then the annual New Years Eve party, albeit a bit tempered given the recent man-made and climactic tragedies in our area these last few months; and with the deepest sympathies and respect for our affected friends and neighbors.

Amidst a sad time for so many families and friends in the New Jersey, New York and Connecticut area, we wish you peace and comfort this holiday season. May the hope and spirit of Christmas touch you and your families and help create a better world for all to live.

Again, thank you and see you soon, at Casa Dante

My Two Cents

A Thanksgiving Wish for our customers 

We here in the northeastern part of the U.S. very rarely feel the forces of nature as we have in the past two weeks. Sure we've had our share of snow and rain. We persevere through those issues and hope for warmer winters, as we had last year, and clearer skies.

But this was quite a different attack by nature. We are not normally prone to or comprehend 80 mph winds, rising tides and prolonged power outages. In addition, sufferring the loss of lives is totally beyond our scope of understanding. This is stuff that happens " to the rest of the world", not us!

But the new "normal" I keep reading about may include such occurences in the future and we must prepare ourselves. Remain alert to the changing weather patterns; take heed to those weather people who, unfortunately,  may have cried wolf too many times in the past; stay close to your familes and appreciate their presence and worth in your life.

Nothing is guaranteed but lets make the best of today and tomorrow!

We at Casa Dante wish you and your family a  Happy Thanksgiving regardless of "our" circumstances and hope this holiday season brings you comfort, peace and joy.

Thanks for reading!
