​Happy Thanksgiving 2020!
This is a wish that you had a Happy Thanksgiving in 2020.  Hopefully you were able to celebrate with those in your household and reach out to other family by the multiple ways available to us electronically today.  We’re blessed to have so many options to socially connect.  Imagine what it was like in 1918 when people had to physically distance and many did not even have a telephone as a way to reach out.  Hopefully we’ll never have to experience anything like this year again.
Happy Thanksgiving!
