Thanksgiving 2008

What do I have to be thankful for? This year more so than any other, I have so much to be thankful for.... For starters, we had a great year in business. Despite the state of the overall economy, Emily's catering Group has persevered and done pretty well.

I have my health, I bought and renovated my building, I kept my staff employed and built a solid team. My family is great and my daughter, Alex, has made me most proud by applying to, of all places, Yale University. Her younger sister, Margaret, constantly amazes me with her wit and humor - and her ability to always make me smile.

My step children are healthy and content. My step daughter, Ally, is a champion equestrian in her class and her younger brother Dan, blew me away with his first report card in junior high school.

My wife is super supportive of me and my business and my parents are healthy and active. What more is there? If we have our health, our families and our ability to smile each day, what else do we need?

I am thankful for my clients, friends and family who support my business and everything we do... Without you we'd be nothing! With you we are G R E A T!
