Since I am going to be here most of the day today and have to work on Friday and company is arriving this afternoon, I am sure I will not get on the board tomorrow to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. We have so much here to be thankful for with this very special family and all the information, good and bad times, comraderie and friendship we share. I just wanted to give thanks for this board - it is my lifeline and all of you are right there when needed. Thanks so much.
Love, Maggie

I'd like to echo what Maggie has said! We will be leaving in a few hours to go to the beach to have Thanksgiving with mother-in-law. Should be back Fri.
I wish everyone a very and hope that everyone eats safely (and not too much!) tomorrow.
Love you all,
Polly
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
Here's hoping you both have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!! And, that goes for all our wonderful people here. Thankfulness is always in my heart for all of you.

Have a good one everyone! This is indeed a special crowd in a special place.
For those of you traveling, travel safe. Geoff and I are doing a quiet meal (with all the fixings) here at home so I don't have to sit for so long. It feels like just what we both need after a hectic year.
Jaco, a parrot in Salzburg, could not only speak but seemed to understand grammar. Whenever his person left, Jaco would say "God be with you." But when several people were departing, Jaco would change it to "God be with all of you."
Looks like we might be housebound. About 8 inches of snow fell overnight and another 8-10 expected today. It's SO beautiful out. Whew, glad I've got the food shoping done already- I'm not going anywhere in this!
Enjoy your day of fellowship with family and friends.
