I love Thanksgiving. It is all about fellowship and food. While I love to decorate for Christmas and to buy gifts for friends and family, Thanksgiving is just a special time each year.
What am I thankful for?
- My family. My brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. My parents who aren’t with us in body but are always with us in spirit. My wonderful husband. And my 4 legged friends, Bruno, Monkey, Story, and Butter.
- My friends. I am grateful to have friends. Some have been in my life all my life and some for just a few years. I cherish you all.
- My health and the health of my loved ones. If you have your health, you have everything.
- My career. I love what I do and the people I work with.
- My country. We aren’t perfect but it is the greatest place on earth to live.
- My indulgences. Sweet tea. Cosmos. Cookies. Cupcakes. Romantic movies. Good books.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and may you have many things to be thankful for too.

Phyllis, you are such a great leader for us. I am proud to know you and to able to say I am a Tater. I love the picture. Why not have a Tate Company sponsored horse show in Charlotte soon. Bring some class to our area. I am so thankful for you.

So, tell a new guy exactly what form of four legged friends are Bruno, Monkey, Story, and Butter? Mike

I love the way you spoke of your indulgences. My five year old said she is thankful for "restaurants". (lol) May you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Phyllis.

It is truly a blessing to be able to love not only the work that you do but also those that we work with and for. I second that!
