A 'thank you' goes a long way. While we should always be grateful for what we have and the possibilities presented by tomorrow's opportunities, November is widely recognized as the month of expressing gratitude. While we snuggle in with the latest issue of Oyster Pointer, let us also give thanks for our warm homes, our loving families, and, of course, our health and wellness. May we stuff ourselves and be thankful for each and every bite. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Oyster Pointer!
