It’s time for my annual Thanksgiving list! As you join friends and family this Thanksgiving, take a moment to remember all the things you have to be thankful for this year. Times get tough, but there is always a bright side and listing them out often makes the bad seem a little better. We’ve had another year for the books, but that’s all the more reason to remember what you are thankful for this year!

– Steve and Kiddo. It’s always an adventure with y’all! Thank you for keeping every day interesting! <3 – My family – we aren’t perfect, and not always as connected as we should be, but family is family — always. – Bulleit – my happy pupperface who just loves to love his family. You may be getting bigger than me, but you’ll always be my baby boy! – Tacocat – my constant companion and nighttime heater. – Remmington – Our newest addition to our crazy home. You had a rough start, but hopefully we are giving you the life you’ve always deserved. – Dr. Chonkers – because everyone needs a fish. – ALLLLLL of my houseplants! Y’all make our home a little more homey. – A comfy couch and fluffy blankets. – Good night scritches. – Reading. – Kindle Unlimited, to make all those books I read a bit more affordable! – Sirius XM radio, for always keeping me entertained when I need it. – Saturdays in the backyard. – Infinitely entertaining Sub-Reddits. – A good internet connection. – The ever-evolving list of nicknames for all the people and animals in our home. – RSVP Pens, because they are the best. – Coffee. – Gnocchi and homemade sauce. – Tuesdays, because it is new book release day. – Tuesdays, cause it’s sketti day! – Friday nights at Riepstine’s. – Funny cat videos. – Tik Toks that make me giggle. – When a recipe turns out exactly like it is supposed to. – Doritos. – Roller grill food from 7-11. – Books on pre-order.

On that note, don’t forget that Saturday is Small Business Saturday. Please go out and patronize your local businesses. Successful local business leads to successful communities. Everyone wins when you support local business! This is probably more important than ever this year! Did I mention coffee? One last, last thing.
