Here it is, one of the happiest times of the year. I remember as a very small child, this was the day we got to go have a HUGE early dinner at the “BIG” house. You see we lived in an 8’ x 32’+/- mobile home. And boy was it mobile - didn’t take a huge anything to pull it - but it was all we needed as it was full of love. So we got cleaned up - which meant the big round metal tub outside for our baths. (No, I don’t make these things up!) Up we went to grandmom’s house (she actually was our step-grandmother) - we got to dust the BIG furniture, and play up and down the stairway that used to be where the servants lived that led to the kitchen. Oh how I remember that elegant table with everything in its proper place - we even got to set that table. We didn’t get to have the wine - but we got the tomato juice. That was such a great, mem- orable time for us. This place used to house and train race horses in times gone by. I used to dream about owning that place. Oh well - not in my lifetime. Now that you can see what my fond memories of Thanksgiving are - I’m sure you can now look back and think about yours ~ enjoy the step back in time. See the Teamwork Football Players here? Some companies say they have a “Team”, but in reality, they have a group of people working for them. A true team consists of “Individuals commited to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, and a civilization work.” Now you are speaking of a real team - The WWDR Team! From all of us here - to all of you there - Happy Thanksgiving . Any way we can help you, please call. We Will See you on the trail! NEXT STOPS - PA Blasting, Kentucky Blasting, and VEGAS!
