Love the photos.
Will be spending day in my Apt. Can't recall the last time I had a Thanksgiving with family.
Then working on "Black Friday".
I guess i'm always too busy struggling with survival to actually enjoy the Holidays.
It's just an immediate family celebration for me this year. I have to work on Friday too, but that's ok.
I miss my parents a lot during the holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving, AI.
