1. My lovely Aunt Terry suggested in March that I start to capitalize letters in accordance with proper "netiquette". After nine months of consideration, I have decided to give it a try.
2. Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday for airline companies to capitalize off of people who put off looking up airfare until November 11th.
Due to a combination of unpredictable circumstances and crazy expensive airfare, the babies and I will be spending yet another Thanksgiving in New Jersey. This doesn't mean that the Ashpoles shouldn't have a great holiday, and if I were there, this is what I would bring to the party...
Blokus is a tested family favorite, and Whoonu is always a winner. What does Aunt Kathy like the most: fireworks, ghost stories or giving cats catnip?
I LOVE Archer Farms Rosemary and Cheddar Cheese Popcorn, what a delicious idea. A little too much for my mid-western relatives who aren't into the woody, pine flavor of rosemary? Try the Maui Onion pretzels instead. As for sweets, I would throw together some pecan squares; they are little hand held versions of the perfect bite of a slice of pecan pie.
Although I still love E.T., I think these two movies are great for anyone in the family, and I think that everyone enjoys talking dog movies.

To "capitalize" on your comments I assure you that you and your family are always in my thoughts and will be very present in our Ashpole Thanksgiving gathering. Our gatherings have sure been diverse the last few years and I expect that to continue to be as everyone transitions in this journey of life. Hopefully, next year the events of living will not get in the way and we can make concrete plans to have you here. As for the game, food, film suggestions--thanks for the ideas.
Love ya girl,
Ma

Kat---you are truly a bad girl---we need to have Terry talk to you or send you back to school to learn the capitalizing rules. Guess this can be overlooked as you do have Thanksgiving pasts correct and that's what is important. Each Thanksgiving we celebrate is a transition not a tradition and we shall celebrate having a wonderful family.
Love,
Ma
