 Dear JABBERS: Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love it because it's not about gifts, but about simply appreciating what we have.
More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is about enjoying the simple pleasures: time with the people we love, delicious food (lots of it!), football, and most importantly, celebrating the good things in our lives. And isn't that just the perfect way to start a season of festivities?
This year my extended family will visit us from Texas. In our family we love an excuseto pull out the fine china, and I know I can count on my mother and my aunt to create a beautiful, magazine-quality dining table with silver, crystal, candles and fresh flowers that will rival the flavor of the feast they will prepare. (My sister and I have big shoes to fill someday.) And as we do every year, we will all gather around the table holding hands before dinner to reflect on all we have to be thankful for. JABBERS, I am thankful for you, and for all you do to connect with each other and help build this wonderful community. Without you, JAB would not be here.
I hope you each enjoy a peaceful and memorable Thanksgiving holiday, spent with people you love and filled with friendship and laughter. Thank you for all you do, JABBERS.
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy JABBING!
-Boo

Argentina Action
From Vanessa Vasquez: REPLY My husband and I are heading to Argentina for our 10th anniversary and would love your feedback, JABBERS! We will be in Bariloche (Llao Llao) and Buenos Aires (Palacio Duhau) and want to know of some can't miss activities, restaurants or fun places to visit. I am especially interested in white water rafting and fly fishing in Bariloche. Your replies will be really helpful! |
Wrist Awry From Chae Haile: REPLY I developed carpal tunnel when I was pregnant with my child. While the carpal tunnel has ceased, I now have lingering pain along my thumb tendon (possibly DeQuervain's tenosynovitis). Can you please recommend a specialist, anywhere between Miami Beach to Hollywood, to examine my wrist? Thanks in advance!
