The Stroller, Nov. 28, 2019: Events in the Alle-Kiski Valley

Count your blessings this Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is more than the festivities. It gives us time ponder upon what lessons we have learned and how we can spread happiness around, to look back at all the great memories and good people who came in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to our loyal readers! - Carol Pinto-Smith
