Happy Thanksgiving

Wow it's been a nutty, busy couple of weeks. I suppose that could be the first thing to put on my list of things to be thankful for. Not the nutty part, but certainly the busy part.

I think when I total out the numbers for November it's going to go in the books as the best month for revenue we've had in the history of the business. That's pretty incredible considering the time of year.

Next up... Family. Everyone in the immediate family is healthy. Can I get an Amen!

We'll be going over to my mom's for a traditional feast of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, etc. The only bummer is that my oldest brother Gene and his family won't be coming up.

I'm also thankful that I live in a country where I'm free to express my belief in God. This seems like an easy one to take for granted until I turn on the evening news and see the oppression others are forced to endure.

Not an exhaustive list by any means. Just a few things I'm thankful for right now.

How about you? What are you thinking of this Thanksgiving?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Enjoy! Oh, and Amen! I'm thankful my family is healthy and happy and that Grandson Luke's head was only partially split open when he got in the way of his sister's slamming door.

Yaaaaaaaay! That's so great to hear, Jeff!

"Family. Everyone in the immediate family is healthy. Can I get an Amen!"

AMEN! And that certainly IS a big thing to be thankful for!

I'm also thankful for my family, our health, my job, the food I eat, my home, and my blogging friends!

And thank YOU for being one of them, buddy!

Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving Day!

I hope your Thanksgiving was everything you wishes for Jeff.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here but I am thankful for being alive and in reasonably good health. :)

Sounds like priorities are all squared away here. Good to know!

Congrats on a good business month!

Cheers to you and your family!

Glad to hear of all your blessings!
We had to eat out on Thanksgiving due to the kitchen project but, as you know, it's coming together and hopefully I can make a big family meal soon. The restaurant did a nice job but there were no crescent rolls and I didn't get to make mom's stuffing. Yes, I see a home cooked turkey dinner with my own fixins in our future.

I'm thankful for my family and friends and lots of other things. :)
