We are so grateful to have found The Gutter and to be part of a place where we can meet wonderful people and feel a real sense of community. We truly have so much to be thankful for, and today we love to celebrate that together.
Please share your Thanksgiving moments with us—what you’re thankful for, what made you smile, or the simple joys that made today special.
As for me, I’m thankful that my family is healthy and happy, that the kids have their homes and their jobs, and that I can pause during the day to notice something in nature I don’t see every day…..flock of starlings murmuring around our refinery.

Happy Thanksgiving from my heart to yours.

What to do on a very chilly day? Make focaccia bread of course.
What do you do on a miserable day to keep busy?
