From Pad Thai and Sweet Rice To Turkey and Pumpkin Pie - My First Thanksgiving
By: Aura Alex 
"My Thai parents often greeted strangers and neighbors with the friendly question, ‘Have you eaten?’ A bowl of cold water usually followed this scented with jasmine and a simple meal. Now, I found myself in a similar situation, invited in by the warm smiles of the American family in New England. They stood over this Thanksgiving meal like timeless sentinels of a well-lived life."

Good morning, Carol... four for me today, not counting my own post on JFK! Afterall, I wrote it! :))) Thank you, thank you for including me on this week's outstanding list. Wishing you a terrific Saturday.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker 
It's sad to think that JFK will just be a name in history to the next generations. We've lived through a lot of history that future generations will only know by hearing or reading about, haven't we?

Nina Hollander, Broker

Carol Williams that is just so true, Carol. In my teens, I first lived through JFK's assassination, then MLK's assassination, and then RFK's assassination. Those were crazy times.

Good morning Carol. Usually I tell you how many I missed and many times must admit to having viewed none. This week is different since somehow since I caught many the first time around. It is also a time to reread the Lou Ludwig posts and those who commented that are no longer with us. Enjoy your day.

Nov 23, 2024 05:38 AM
Carol Williams

Yes, Wayne Martin, since I always go back exactly 10 years on Lou's posts, we can see comments from a lot of folks who are no longer on the platform or have passed away.

Do you reach out to all of the newbies?  I reach out every now and then but haven't had much success in getting them to interact, haha.

Hi Brian England 
I reach out in each of their blog posts with an invitation to contact us to learn how to maximize their membership. There is very little acknowledgement let alone engagement. Their loss.

Good Morning Carol and thank you for your Saturday list and I need to go back and catch some of these.  Hope you have big plans for Thanksgiving.

Hi Will Hamm 
I don't have any big plans for Thanksgiving. I'll go to the Thanksgiving meal at the RV & Golf Resort where I'm staying. I'm going to Phoenix for Christmas.

Thank you very much, Carol, for including one of my blog posts in your selection.

Have an outstanding weekend.

It is not a good morning for golfers in Maryland. The courses are very wet after rain yesterday and overnight.

Hi Carol:

Thank you for an interesting reading list - lots of diversity. I see I only saw 2 this past week so hope to get to the others over the weekend.

Enjoy your weekend - perhaps some golf?

Hi Carol,

In this season of gratitude, my thoughts are with you. Wherever this Thanksgiving finds you, surrounded by friends or in quiet reflection, I send warm wishes your way. Have you eaten yet?
