Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family and friends, great food, and thoughts of what you are most thankful. Brandon was in a skillfully crafted play at his pre-school where he played the part of a Pilgrim. Nice job, he did. Might consider getting him an agent, Nahhhhhh.

His school event finished the day with a traditional turkey dinner, which I am proud to say he ate ALL of his turkey! Of course the last few days have been filled with banter back and forth... "you're my turkey, noooo daddy you're my turkey".

I had the interesting opportunity to prepare and have Thanksgiving dinner a few days early. It really doesn't matter all that much, it was a day of great smells, good conversation, filled with love and admiration. After all, it's just a day. Giving thanks needs many more days like I had Tuesday.

Updated Websites

I've finally taken the time to revise my websites. RandyDeWitt.com received a total overhaul and randydewittpics.com had some fun additions for me, including some nice pics of the everglades and pics taken with my i-Phone.

Hope you find what you need, if not give me a call or drop me an email.

Take care, happy holidays!
