Thanksgiving Day | 24 November 2011

With our friends Corbrett and Kerri, who were visiting us from the Washington, D.C., area, and Alfred and Cha Cha, members of our branch who had recently joined the Church, we went to West 74th Street and Central Park West on a chilly fall morning to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in person for the first time.
