Thanksgiving is the one day of the year when I
really stop and think about all I have to be thankful for.

And… my blessings are endless.

I have a husband I adore and who feels the same about me. A
son who’s such a nice man and who I truly believe is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And a niece whose
family delights me every time we’re together.

Not only am I fortunate with those people in my
life; I’m happy to say that my parents are alive and well. Mom is eighty-six
and Dad’s ninety.  They are the nicest,
kindest most generous folks any daughter has the good fortune to have and they
make me happy to be around them at all times.

Especially when I’m telling them about all the successes I’ve been so fortunate to have with my career. I rave about all the fabulous
people I work with, the new friends I meet every day and the exciting changes
in this crazy publishing business.

They love listening to me go on…and on…

This is my sweet mom!

And my lovable Dad!

Shuu… don’t wake the poor dears up…..aren’t they
wonderful?
