I wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving holiday. This year, I’m feeling blessed and thankful for wonderful things and circumstances that have come my way:
I’m most thankful for my wonderful wife, Susan; and my incredibly talented daughter, Hannah. The two best decisions I’ve ever made in my life was marrying my wife and having our daughter.
I’m thankful for the medical care I’ve received from the Veteran’s Administration.
I’m thankful for our local community that contributes to local non-profit organizations with their time and money.
I’m thankful to Mary Pekin of Mary’s Flags, Etc. for giving us a like-new, industrial sewing machine with walking foot/zig-zag stitch capability for sail-making. ( https://marysflagsetc.com/ )
I’m thankful to the couple in the town of Gouldsboro, Maine that gave me an Alcort Sunfish (sailboat) I can re-furbish and donate to the Women’s Health Resource Library ( https://whrl.org ) for their annual silent auction and raffle fund-raiser.
I’m thankful to all my web site followers, YouTube channel subscribers, and Patrons on Patreon for your continued support that makes what I do possible.
I’m thankful for all my friends and relative that also help and support my efforts.
Most recently, I’m quite thankful to Ericka Corban, a very talented, young singer-songwriter for providing music tracks and giving me permission to use her music in this and future videos. Ericka is married, has 5 children (4 of them home-schooled), and still makes time to pursue her professional music career. Ericka has also performed on “The Voice” television show in Season 12.
