November 22: Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hey Indies!

It's Kayla, sitting in for Donna Maria who is on the road to visit her family in Washington, DC, for the Thanksgiving holiday. You know how she hates to miss connecting with you, so she asked me to send out this note to you to let you know what fun things are happening at the site (thanks to you!), and to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving filled with all the love, joy, and peace that comes with being with family.

Be safe, be well, and enjoy all the delicious food prepared for you (and by you too!) with love!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Kayla
