Happy Thanksgiving! · 11/26/2009

As everyone is getting ready for their Thanksgiving meals, I’m making my way to the airport. Saying goodbye to my mom and grandfather to board a flight back home to my husband is always bittersweet.

Our plans have changed for our Thanksgiving celebration due to some unforeseen circumstances. We will probably find ourselves at Cracker Barrel and the movies, but it’s fine for us as long as we’re together. With plenty to be thankful about, I can’t help but be grateful. I hope that you have a lot to be grateful for, too.

So thank you all for your support and may you have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving Day!

And don’t forget! After you’ve stuffed yourself with turkey and all the trimmings, check back for new pieces I’ll be adding to the site during the Black Friday Special running Friday, November 27th to through Cyber Monday, November 30th!
