Thanksgiving Greetings To Everyone! Well, it is again that time of the year when we give special Thanks for all the many blessings we have in our lives. When I think of the Pilgrims that came to this country and all the generations after them, I am especially thankful for the many modern conveniences that make our lives much easier. I am thankful for the beauty that exists in this world, both in nature and in the people who I have contact and association with. I am thankful for my heritage that allows me to live where I do, in this wonderful free country, and especially in the fantastic Southwest. But most of all I am thankful for my family and wonderful friends that have blessed my life so very much. I hope that each and every one of you have a fantastic month and that you eat a little too much, and thank a Veteran who helped to make us free. Live life to its fullest and be happy, and, of course, QUILT!
