A chance taken…
And here we all are
United in thanksgiving for
This family built
From milk and hair pins.

This is a wonderful poem! "built from milk and hair pins". My family must of been built from delicious food and beer. LOL My mom was a cook and my dad worked at the beer store. Despite not being in Carolina, I really do hope that you and Michael enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, full of blessings.
