KEEPING A TANKFULL OF THANKFUL:

​The Thanksgiving season is a time we spend with our loved ones giving thanks for the blessings we are given. We gather around the table and have a good family meal. For some its one of the few times the family that has moved around the country gather for a meal. Time to catch up on stories and get picked on by your older siblings...  No not me I was the youngest of 5. It is a time to reflect on what you are thankful for.
