Top of the evening, friends!

I hope this blog entry finds you all well and refreshed after another great Thanksgiving!

I spent the holiday with my family at my sister's house in Trenton, and we all had a wonderful time eating and visiting. My sister, Terry always outdoes herself! It was my job to cut the turkey this year, and boy...did I ever BUTCHER it (literally)! I don't think I'll be asked to perform that duty again next year (lol)! It's normally dad's job, but he was late getting there.

Thanks to everyone who sent me Happy Thanksgiving notes, emails, and blogs! You all continue to keep me lifted up!

Unfortunately, Dad must have another surgery in January. He has developed another hernia as a result of the scar tissue from one of the last surgeries. His doctor doesn't believe it's going to be a big deal, in fact, plans for it to be an outpatient procedure. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers, as this is his 6th surgery over the last year.

The above pictures are of a day of zip-lining in Hocking Hills. The first picture is of me and my friends, Barb, Pandy, Terri, Jen, and Trish at Bob Evans. Unfortunately, Barb & Pandy couldn't join the zip-lining festivities, but they did eat breakfast with us before they left. The rest of us then spent about 3 hours zipping through the woods of Hocking Hills. The second and third pictures are proof of our adventure! If you haven't had the opportunity to do this, I would greatly encourage it. We had a lot of fun!

Our business (Stars Consulting, LLC) continues to increase, praise God!. A huge case we have been working on for some time was recently settled, I believe, in part, as a result of our very thorough, accurate, and detailed crash analysis that we provided the attorney. Steve does such a tremendous job with crash reconstruction! We have also received several more cases since then. We are very thankful for the referrals we receive from previous clients!
