After spending most of the last month in a tiny town with nothing but a Tommy's Grocery Mart with no premium gasoline, this Thanksgiving I'm reminded that I am thankful for convenience - a full-size grocery store just down the street; a near-by Wal-Mart and a Lowe's; a Dairy Queen and every other conceivable restaurant; a movie theatre; a car-wash; and a large and active church. Happy THANKSgiving everyone!
