Our Hareytale, A True StoryIn 1986, a fishing accident propelledour family into navigating a wayward journey from tragic loss to hopeful healing. Our wise grandmother, Elsie Attaberry lovingly gathered us to her sewing room, showing us how to make delightful treasures out of spools of thread and scraps of fabric while she mended our broken hearts. She taught us that when you give glad dreams to others, your own joy returns.

While we sewed and mended together, Gram tickled our imaginations withwild tales of rabbits who survived many hardships and that now lived, she suspected, in her garden by the bay. One day she told us, “You girls need some fresh air. Run out outside and see if you can find my bunnies.”

Twenty Seven years ago we did just that and discovered them in the Good Friends Garden Giving Glad Dreams.
