A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Happy Thanksgiving! This is by far my favorite holiday. Yes, I do enjoy the food but I also enjoy the opportunity to carry on traditions such as watching the Macy's Day parade while getting the turkey ready, making the pumpkin pie that I know my family will enjoy and spending the weekend with my family just relaxing and catching up before the craziness of the Christmas season begins. I hope all of you get a chance to eat, enjoy and give thanks for the simple gifts we are blessed with each day not just on Thanksgiving Day.

Until December 3rd, enjoy the simple things in life!
Karen
