Dear Friends,

How is it possible that Thanksgiving is only two weeks away while I’m still digging myself out of a mountain of Halloween candy? I think it just might be time to step away from the Smarties…at least until next year, LOL.

This Thanksgiving is going to be a very special one for my family as we are going to have a house full of guests coming from all over the country: my parents (Florida), brother, sister-in-law, their three kids (Arizona), my aunt (Florida) and my cousin (Michigan), are all spending the holiday with us.

And as much as I hate to admit it, I haven’t seen my brother and his family since my wedding (four years ago) and since that time, my son and my nephew have been born---so we have a lot of catching up to do as well as introducing the kids to each other. Talk about a reunion!
