Thanksgiving!
 
As I mentioned at the first of this month, we felt it incumbent to consider all the things that we are thankful for in this very unusual year.
For Debe and I, we are so blessed to have been able to spend time with all of our grandkids in 2 different locations! We just returned from Escondido, CA where we enjoyed an annual Thanksgiving Program that kept us on the edge of our seats with our youngest grandkid, Emmie, showing the world her singing and acting prowess! I do say this a bit tongue in cheek, but she did show off her big smile, perfectly timed hand motions, and very expressive facial animations throughout her kindergarten class rendition of the first Thanksgiving. Spending the rest of the weekend with her mom, dad, brothers, and sisters was just the icing on the cake or, should I say, the whip-cream on the pumpkin pie!
Locally we will be spending Thanksgiving Day with our kids & two grandsons at our son-in-law's parents, who are graciously hosting this event. While missing our son and his girlfriend in North Carolina, we find it a joy to spend those precious moments with those we love and then assessing our many reasons to be thankful. We hope that you as well can spend some time with those you love by an actual time together - or maybe electronically if the distance
is too great!

Another hearty thank-you goes to our team who has worked diligently through unusual circumstances to help make your shopping experience be one that is second to none!
Lastly, we again extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing customers who have continued to support us through the last eight months of the unknown!
To you all, we say ... THANK YOU!



Happy Thankful Quilting
