Show Notes

What was a Thanksgiving without a turkey? “It was like a great flourish of accompaniment without any song.” That’s how Ann Mary felt about it. This week we bring you two stories by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman: “Ann Mary; Her Two Thanksgivings” and “Thankful” Thanksgiving is a holiday where no gifts are given, yet one receives so much. Even a Thanksgiving spent alone can still find one grateful. So whether you’ll be surrounded by family or friends, or alone, I hope you find something to be thankful for.
