Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! As this is the time to reflect and be thankful for those around us, I wanted to start by stating how appreciative I am of having Linda and the boys as an important part of my life. We touch a little upon Linda’s influence from time to time here on the blog, but reality is she’s the main element that makes everything run smoothly behind the scenes and has a secret “nudge” talent that keeps me on the rails. I rarely leave the house without hearing “Make good choices!”. That warning has a fast decaying half-life the longer I am away, but definitely keeps me mindful during the early ultra-miles. Unfortunately, our parents have since passed, still thankful for the valuable life lessons they bestowed before going to a better place. Our older brothers (and their families) are always there to right our frowns, to act as our sounding boards and always quick with a hand whenever we need them. Our virtual family here at Intrigued are simply the best and there isn’t enough time to cover all the important work they do each and every day to make our multiple blogs and other endeavors successful. At the “gamble” it doesn’t go to their heads, yes, that includes our legal department – Brad has really whipped that group into shape and haven’t had a single complaint since regarding their former notorious office shenanigans ha!
Lastly, I wanted to extend a heartfelt thanks to all you out there that read our musings, bear through my rants and willing to offer us a kind like, a quick wit, key insights or additional information related to our posts. You are the reason Brad and I (and our editorial staff) can’t wait to share the next adventure from the field. We appreciate your time and wish you a safe and filling Thanksgiving holiday!
Speaking of “gambles”, how about we get to today’s featured feathered friend(s).
