HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hey Friends,  Just a small note to tell you how grateful I am to have these two monsters up there in my life.  Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, I will have the joy of their laughter and squabbles while we all enjoy the luscious meal their Mom and Dad have prepared.

We will be able to eat and chat without all the fears and pain so many in this world endure every day.

What more could I be grateful for?
