    Hi Ellen,

    First, a belated happy-birthday ๐Ÿ™‚
    … and of course, a (non-belated) Happy Thanksgiving!

    Iโ€™m glad to hear (and see!) that you are doing much better health-wise, despite the setback. I havenโ€™t been particularly interactive on FaceBook that much recently, so thereโ€™s a lot of catching up I need to do with so many people.

    Well, thatโ€™s my excuse, and Iโ€™m sticking with it ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Anyway, I admire your strength and attitude. Seeing your message definitely made me think. And I mean โ€œthinkโ€ in a positive way.

    Hopefully my sentiments donโ€™t sound too much like a Hallmark Greeting Card ๐Ÿ™‚

    Cheers,

    -Martin

      Thank you, Martin. And since Canada celebrates on a different day, let me wish you a belated happy Thanksgiving, as well. I appreciate all your good thoughts and let me add that Iโ€™m very grateful to have you and your fabulous crosswords in my life and my New York Times. ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

    Hey girl – looking good and non the less for ware (thatโ€™s also a pun since I am too). Hope you and TBF turkeying together. I assume you are cooking (????). It seems that a 4some is not in the offing so why not lets get together before Xmas for lunch at the usual, or dinner at the usual. Things are moving along health wise with me, and A and I are a happy couple.
    Too bad you didnโ€™t have a piece of that silly picture that sold last week.
    Anyhow – happy Turkey day
    Luv ya

    • Ellen Ross says:

      Thanks, my friend. Iโ€™m with TBF right now. No, I am not cooking. (I make a mean turkey and trimmings but I did it last year. This year Iโ€™m a civilian.) Glad to hear all is well on your end- no pun intended- and yes, lunch or dinner at our usual suspects works. Iโ€™m thankful for friends like you.

    I am grateful for getting my Letter from Elba every time it arrives, and for knowing the writer behind it. You have enriched my life with your unique view of the world and perfect movie clips to support it. I am also grateful for good health, both yours and mine.
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    • Ellen Ross says:

      What a lovely sentiment. Thank you so much, dear Vivian. The Kramer Clan are one of the reasons I love Post. Have a wonderful holiday. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿ’‹

    Ellen. Attending Shabbat services I shouted out your name when we sang the prayer for healing. Clearly it worked because you look great! You will missed until you return in December. Please tell Bernard I loved his list of gratitude but he needs to add on Mitchels’ on 71st street , the Shoreland deli….and evenings at the Point!
    Belated birthday wishes for a fabulous year ahead.

    • Ellen Ross says:

      Jackie! How great! No wonder Iโ€™m feeling so much better. Thank you, my friend, for that shout out to the Divine. I KNOW it did the trick. Hope you and your beautiful family had a wonderful holiday and wishing you and yours exactly the same for 2018. ๐Ÿ˜˜

    • Bernard Kerman says:

      You got that right.
      One very important item I left out was our men and women in blue!!
      Thanks, Jackie!
