More Turkey

Hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Today you will see reports from the Community Thanksgiving Dinner at Central Presbyterian Church. Hundreds of people will show up for turkey and the trimmings. Some people are in need, others just want to share the holiday with others.
Spiro Moisidis and his daughter Maria have reopened the Nirvana Restaurant. They are now located in the old Arby's at US 52 and Teal. Many of you may remember the restaurant when it was located at US 52 and SR 26. Even though the restaurant opened only a few days ago, Spiro will be offering free Thanksgiving meals today. It was a tradition he started in 1996 after his restaurant was destroyed by fire. I remember talking to Spiro then. He told me he had much to be thankful for and this was his way to give back to the community. The free meals are offered from 4:00p.m.-8:00p.m. tonight.
I have much to be thankful for this year. Most of all being able to spend time with my mom, family and friends. Above is a picture from a friend's annual gingerbread making contest. I worked with Emilee, Debbie and Tom to create a ranch. The barn was filled with candy corn and the grass was frosting with green sprinkles. Others made a castle, the North Pole, and a race car. There is some serious competition there. I guess I have a year to come up with a more creative design next year!
