Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for:
My beautiful daughters who teach me so much by their example.
My church community - Westminster Unitarian Church.
My awesome dog who gets me out of bed in the morning and makes me get out and exercise.
My own can-do spirit and optimism.
Friends who have taught me the gift of hope.
A warm home in our new town of EG.

Glad you're here, Renee!

Among so many things to be grateful for:
1. Deb and Peter and Evan and Juliana
2. My brothers and my mom and the spirit of my father
3. The chance to share and connect through writing
4. All those who have read my words and responded – always thrilling and often humbling
5. A place where this can happen – thanks, EG Patch!

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your hard work in keeping the site going and for keeping us all connected in this great town!

Elizabeth,
The old saying, "It's not a job if you love what you are doing.” holds. You do a terrific, tireless job for this town and I am grateful for your dedication to EG. I see you chasing parades, filming countless town meetings, and to top it off (literally), shooting the End of Summer Concert on Eldredge School's very high roof. Bravo!

Although she died 7 years ago, I'm grateful we were able to (just) make it to our 50th anniversary.
I'm grateful for my 3 wonderful daughters and son, 11 grandchildren and a great grand-daughter.
I'm grateful for having chosen to live here (45 years ago) in this wonderful, well run town as well as having had an opportunity to serve on the School Committee and Town Council.
I'm grateful for my church and my faith.
Although I've had more than my share of operations, I'm grateful for all of the excellent medical people who have kept me going and continue to do so.
I'm grateful; for my life and, most of all, I'm grateful and proud, as first generation American, to be a citizen in the United States.
And finally, I'm grateful for all my friends as well as having met a wonderful woman who, while she will never replace my wife, is a joy to be with.

Thankful for my family, my faith, my friends and acquantainces, my health, and thankful that I live in this beautiful little State of Rhode Island.

I am thankful that I grew up in East Greenwich.

I am thankful for my family who make me laugh and cry and then laugh again.
I am thankful for all the opportunities I have to be a better wife, mom, volunteer, educator, neighbor and friend.
I am thankful for all the ways to be engaged and creative in the local school and communities.
And I am thankful for EG Patch for being informative, for allowing me to blog and especially Elizabeth's daily "Five Things" announcements (thanks for the heads up tonight about the new Orange Leaf FroYo...yum and so I am thankful for their Brownie Batter flavor with 1 gram of fat per ounce).
a

Thanks all!
