Turkey Time!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I can smell the fresh cooked turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and green bean casserole. Thanksgiving is a time for the family to come together and spend quality time catching up. It is a time of year to reflect on all of the things you are thankful for. Seeing all of my family and sharing great conversation with them is always what I am most thankful for.
