HOLLY FINALLY FINISHED her first story about The Sweetwater in time to turn it in to her boss on the day before Thanksgiving. She happily presented it to Al Redford via an electronic word document along with a printed copy. He read it while she sat in the chair across from his desk. He chuckled a few times, a smile spreading across his face at other times.

When the chief editor finished reading it, he looked up and nodded. “This is great, Holly. I’m going to print it exactly as is. It’s engaging, heartfelt, has some humor, edited perfectly, and an enjoyable read. I’m sure our subscribers will love it.” Then he held open the box of cherry shoestring licorice for her.

“Sure, I’ll have some. Thanks, Al.” She smiled, basking in his praise for a moment as she sat back and ate some of the licorice. “I hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your family tomorrow. Are you having a turkey with stuffing and all the trimmings?” She raised an eyebrow.

“We are. I hope you have a nice holiday, too. Look for your article to appear in the Thanksgiving edition tomorrow. See you this coming Monday, Holly.”

“Thanks, Al. See you then.”

Then she’d rushed to the grocery store to purchase fresh flowers, beverages, one apple and one pumpkin pie, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, a few glazed pumpkin cookies and muffins from the bakery, a small veggie tray, and a mini-fruit and cheese tray for hors d’oeuvres. She’d already made arrangements with Jill to reserve the library, who was excited about her having a holiday meal with one of their best investors.

Mrs. Wright had accepted her order for two gourmet turkey dinners with all the trimmings. She’d have them in boxes with their names on them, in the refrigerator in the main kitchen, and ready to be warmed. She’d also given her several candles, a vase for flowers, a round linen tablecloth and napkins, and enough silver and china for two place settings each. In addition, she showed Holly where she could find a round table for two.

“Oh, Holly, this is going to be so nice,” Mrs. Wright remarked when she had most of it set up. “You’ve done a nice job of making this look very festive and elegant. I’m sorry I won’t be around to see you celebrate tomorrow since we’re going to visit our grandchildren for the day, but we’ll see you at the turkey potpie dinner in the main dining room tonight, perhaps.”

“Thank you so much. You’ve been so helpful. I hope you enjoy some time with your family. You and Corky really deserve it. Can you tell me where I might find a few board games to play?”

“As a matter of fact, follow me to the main living room.” Holly did as commanded and followed Mrs. Wright out into the spacious sunken living room. They stopped at a large armoire where the ranch cook threw open the doors. Staring back at Holly were all sorts of movies and games inside.
