Thanksgiving is around the corner ... what are you thankful for?

It has been my pleasure for most of my life to ramble up and down the state of California.

Because of the lack of space, I can’t express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to everyone in this letter. However, sometimes in the middle of the worst of circumstances the most wonderful things happen. As many of you know, my husband Michael had congestive heart failure and needed a heart transplant. Now, after four months, he is home with a new heart.

Would you ever eat Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant? Or is this a holiday that must be celebrated at home?

Do you start your holiday shopping early?

The race is over, Barack Obama will be the next president, so now is the time for the next question.

Barack Obama is the your next President of the United States.
