Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia. It began as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Similarly named festival holidays occur in Germany and Japan.

First, thank you to those who responded to our SOS for new volunteers in last week’s column. We appreciate you and all the support we get from the community.

Hello, I hope this week finds everyone in good health and happy spirits. We are all doing well here. My son made it in from his extended job out of state so we are all blessed he will be home for the holidays. Can’t believe this month is going so fast, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. So, it’s time to get your dinner shopping done before the stores run out of everything. As always enjoy time with your family and Enjoy the Little Things.
