This has always been my favorite holiday. A combination of my birthday and the menu of turkey and stuffing can't be beat.
I know this can't be an easy Thanksgiving for you, a year since Judy passed away, but I hope being with family will help somewhat. Take care.
I see you peeking out at the back. Glad you're with family this year.
Do you know these people or are you photobombing them?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
