It’s Thanksgiving week. My wife and I are both working so no grand turkey for us, but that won’t stop us from being grateful. Whether you are roasting a full bird with family, grabbing a turkey sandwich in between shifts, or hate turkey all together…. I hope you get at least one thing that fills you up. A tasty meal, a quiet walk, a laugh with someone you love. Grateful for you all being here.
As always… Happy reading, and see you out there! 🤠
