Good morning Ledgers! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Oh my, where has the year gone. Remember, as we gather with family, enjoy that amazing meal that was slaved over for hours, and we then sit down to watch the Lions play Green Bay, that we should be very thankful for the blessing that we get to share with one another.
Everyday is a blessing. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. And no matter how cheesy that may sound, nonetheless still remains true.
I am thankful for all of you.

Thanks for reading The Ledge Ledger today.
If you found something useful, please share it with someone who wishes they could make their own sourdough bread, but they just can’t get down with all that work but they still want it homemade so they buy it from someone who loves the process instead.
Thank you Ledgers…Enjoy your holiday tomorrow. We won’t be publishing Thursday but we’ll be back strong for you on Friday. We’re so grateful and thankful for each and everyone of you. Ta ta…
