Hi Everyone,
I wanted to give a little update.

🚑 I’m out of the hospital as I just had a brief 24hr stay due to some complications with diabetes. I’m home, healthy and back into the swing of things.

🦃 This past weekend we had family in from Philly, so I unplugged for a few days and spent time visiting and catching up with them. It was amazing and we had a wonderful meal. Spatchcocked Turkey on the Trager for the win!

🎄We took the Philly family up into the Cascade Mountains to witness the Tree Lighting Ceremony in the ‘faux’ Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA and it was crazy busy, but magical. Add it to your list of things to see for sure.

🎧 The show Will go on and a new episode will be dropping on Monday 12/9 as I have a wonderful catch up conversation with Tara of , on Instagram, as she hasn’t been on the show since the early days (EP22). In the meantime you can go back and give a listen to that episode if you’ve not listened to it.

🙌 Thank you all again for listening to the show. I really appreciate it and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends & family.

Wishing you all a very Happy Turkey Day🦃🍗🥂

Thankful for friends & family, but also super thankful for each of you listeners.
