This is one of the strangest Thanksgiving Days I have experienced in many years.

My lovely wife Jane is with her parents at their Florida home and my daughter Allison and her husband Jacob live in South Dakota, so they will not be able to come home for this holiday.  Allison did call me today and it was so good to talk with her.

But I will be joined by a big part of my family at a Thanksgiving dinner put on by my sister and brother-in-law.  My daughter Mary will join that crowd later today.

So I miss my wife Jane and my daughter Allison today, but remain thankful to be with so many family members.  It will be a joyous occasion.

I continue to be amazed at the number of people that continue to read this blog on a regular basis.  I have been writing LarryInFishers.com for nearly 7 years and the number of people reading continues to grow.  My podcast listeners also have increased over time.  The 10 interviews I conducted with all Hamilton Southeastern School Board candidates brought a number of new listeners to my podcast series, which is mostly locally-focused.

So I wish to extend a special Happy Thanksgiving greeting to all of you.  I have made many friends in my nearly 7 years of writing this blog and almost 3 years of producing podcasts.  None of this would be possible without your support.

This continues to be a labor of love for me, my volunteer work to support the community where I have lived for 27 years – Fishers, Indiana.

So, thank you for reading and thank you for listening.  It’s because of all of you, the people living in Fishers, that this city is consistently rated is one of the best places to live in America.
