I hope you're well&happy. Last year around this time we were all looking forward to Thanksgiving. I spent it at Katie's and had the best food ever!! I think we probably ate from 11am until about 8pm. It was class. :)
It really makes me miss Webster now though. But anyway, I just thought of you and am sending a big hug over to Japan!
