Bucks Writs - Fall 2020 - 6

From the Editor...
Happy Thanksgiving?

Just about every family has a Thanksgiving tradition. Whether
it's immediate family only or large extended-family gathering
(yes, even THOSE cousins are invited), Thanksgiving is special
to most. And it isn't necessarily about the holiday at all.
Rather, having the time to sit and hear about all of the events
that others in the family have gone through, both good and
bad, is extraordinary. How often are you able to sit down
with your entire family and catch up? I would imagine not
very often given the speed at which the world moves.

Around this time each year,
most people think about all
of the hours they are going
to spend gorging themselves
while being around family
that they may (or may not) be
thrilled to be with. With food,
football, and family abound,
Thanksgiving is a holiday that
many enjoy. Grandpa can eat

without Grandma watching
his every bite. Uncle Jerry can root for whatever team is
playing against the Dallas Cowboys without disruption
from his three children. And the rest of the adults can
pick out a favorite " soda " to enjoy for the remainder of
the evening. These are just a few of the reasons to be
thankful on Thanksgiving.

That takes us to the year 2020. Whoever thought of a
Pandemic Thanksgiving? It certainly has the potential to make
for a hilarious family comedy or a terrifying horror movie
at the same time - which, in my mind, quite accurately
describes the year 2020. Here's to hoping that your Thanksgiving is more like the comedy and not the horror film.
Wishing all of our members and the community a very
Happy Thanksgiving. 
