It has become a family tradtion that my aunts and uncles come to our home over Thanksgiving. Some come from LA, some from San Diego, some from Arizona. We live in a central location... and we love entertaining and cooking! Sometimes they celebrate with their families and then come over on Friday-- like this year. Tonite... even thought it's the Saturday after Thanksgiving... we are celebrating tonite with Bob's rotisserie Turkey, wild rice and cornbread stuffing, twice baked mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, sweet potato casserole, cranberry relish, pumpkin pie with homemade vanilla ice cream, pumpkin-spiced (4 comments)
It has been reported that the average American will put away 3,000 calories on Thanksgiving alone. But, don’t despair! I believe that Thanksgiving can be great for your golf game! Turkey= Longer Drives!

thanksgiving: BOTHERING AGENTS ON a HOLIDAY-- FOLLOW-UP!

My Broker, Lori shares her plans for Thanksgiving! Kathy
I have been listening to agents talk about their Thanksgiving plans for a few days. Some are staying local as they have deals almost ready to close and getting away is not an option. One is flying to Illinois for 4 days and one is going to Arizona. As for me i am fortunate that my parents are coming into La Quinta to spend the holiday with me. So I was just thinking about how far are people willing to travel for Turkey? What are your plans? How far are (5 comments)
Now that Halloween is over, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. So I thought being it is November already, its time to think about Turkey Dinner.

Open for retail sales and walk in business Monday through Saturday - 10:30am to 5:30pm, unless a day class (0 comments)
