I think I got everyone. If I didn't, please let me know. BTW, welcome!Lara, if I have your number wrong, please correct me.
2/2 complete!
part of the story took place over Thanksgiving and there was lots of family gatherings in the story.
Sounds good, Lauren. Thanksgiving settings are hard to find... unless you just stumble across them. Update you in Post #2 & #39!
