As Thanksgiving approaches, we find ourselves busy making plans.  Christmas is around the corner, and we all revel in the decorations, the tree trimming parties, the cookie exchanges, the evenings we spend looking at lights, but we stop and take this day (that seems to be shrinking as the years progress) to appreciate life and our many blessings.  Like so many of you out there, we have lost many of our loved ones through the years.  It's incredibly sad to think, "this is our second year without our dad here."  However, despite that sadness, there is an appreciation for the new little ones we've added to our families as well and for each of their milestones.  When you see a toddler walk, against the doctors' predictions, you know that you are witnessing a blessing!  We realize how fortunate we are to have such a large, loving family, to have faith in a wonderful God, to have warm homes, and to have jobs that provide for our families.  Hopefully, in the spirit of the day, you too appreciate and acknowledge your blessings as well.  We feel so blessed to have loyal customers who are so thoughtful and kind.  Several of you provide us with helpful suggestions or feedback on your purchases, and we truly appreciate your interaction and your accolades.  So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we want to say thank you to our customers, and as one of our favorite shirts says, may you "gobble till you wobble' on this wonderful Thanksgiving Day!  Lezlie & Wendy
