I am grateful that I am healthy and able to bake cookies, cupcakes and cakes to pass out to the local Fire Departments on Thanksgiving. It is my personal long standing tradition. It feels wonderful to see their faces when I drop them off and they ask if they had done something for me during the year and I say no - it is just a little thank you.
I took my grandsons Jake and Jonah with me last year when they were here visiting. They enjoyed the first few but quickly got tired of riding from one Firehouse to the next, so we stopped and I delivered the remainder the next day. It may have been a short delivery day on Thanksgiving however it was fantastic to share the experience with them. They even got to sit in a fire truck and got hats.
