Hello friends and family,

Many of you have been politely asking the question “so where are you registered?”

Well considering that we are both past the mid- century mark (especially Michael!!), and we have both been married before (especially Lorraine!!) and in the combining of our homes we still can’t park a car in EITHER garage (that will change)…… Ms Toussaint and Mr Tomlinson will NOT be registering anywhere.

We both feel very blessed and grateful to have found each other at this time in our lives, and to have had the good sense to recognize our good fortune. Soon we will be surrounded by our dearest friends and beloved family to witness our commitment to each other and our new family. That is the greatest Gift to us. Thank you for that.

As a living reminder of our sacred commitment to love and cherish each other, to facilitate each other’s growth with patience and humor and kindness,….to build a home for ourselves and our girls that can withstand the storms, especially in these uncertain times, we have decided to create…A Garden. A garden filled with healing herbs, abundant seasonal vegetables, and luscious fruit trees, nestled in a veritable sea of flowers. Here we will gather in the years to come to eat and drink and fill our baskets and our hearts, with love and food and wine fresh from The Garden.

So for those of you who insist on giving us something we lovingly invite you to “plant” a tree in Our Garden.
