Happy Thanksgiving !!!

We want to wish all of our American Friends and Family a very Happy Thanksgiving today.

This is my 3rd Thanksgiving abroad and I must admit that I've been feeling a bit melancholy the past couple of days. I couldn't figure why I've been so weepy until today when it hit me: I've been missing my family. Today my Mom Joany, brother Mike, brother-in-law Bruno and their 2 "daughters" Tyra & Missy (actually puppies) sat down to a big Thanksgiving spread with all the trimmings. I wish that me and my crew could have been there sharing in the laughter. I love you all. Cheers! The holidays remind me of those family members who aren't sitting around the table, the loved-ones that we've lost over the years. I miss my Dad John, my brother Kevin and my sister Mary so very much. Wish you were here...

Tomorrow we'll have our good friends The Reynolds over for a belated Thanksgiving dinner. We are so grateful that they are here and their familiar "accents" always brighten our days. We found almost everything we need for our feast...Hopefully the gin n' lemonade fruit juice cocktails will dull our longing for pumpkin pie.

This year we are very thankful to ALL of our friends and family across the globe for their love and support and for keeping in touch across the miles. We love you and miss you all!

We are especially thinking about our dear friends Gretski and Micah and sending our love and BIG HUGS your way. We hope that time and your immense inner strength will get you through this challenging time. xoxoxox
