Dear Claire,
Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful Thankgsiving, and I hope all goes well for you on your big tests! My fingers are crossed for you!
Dear Erin,
Thanks for chiming in! I have to be honest...your blog was one of the first I ever discovered (I think I found you through the 100 Hour Board) -- and I've been hooked since the beginning. I love that you've made a living of being a writer, something I aim to do at some point. But anyway, thanks for letting ME read YOU!
Dear Jenny,
Okay -- your blog is hilarious. The stories you can tell of your kids are fabulous.
Dear FoxyJ,
I'm not sure how I found you either. Probably by clicking around -- multiple blogs I discovered early on linked to you, and after reading your for a while, I understand why. You are honest and heartfelt and I love reading what you have to say. You're welcome to come visit in New York anytime!
Dear Ashley,
Thanks for picking my recipe! Hooray! Good luck with your Thanksgiving dinner!
Dear Heath,
I love it that you comment a lot, though honestly, I don't know how you have time to read, what with you being busy charming the crowds with your violin. I'm still anxious to hear my own private version of your recital in the spring!
Dear JoEllen,
We'll definitely let you guys know the next time we're in San Antonio, and the next time you come to New York, let us know! I'd love to see how big Little Sal is getting!
Dear Amyjane,
No, thank YOU! I'm sure Patrick was just as adorable, if not more so, in his bunting coat last year. And congrats again on Baby #2!! I'm so excited for you!
Dear Lizardbreath McGee,
You are a beautiful writer. I love reading your posts -- they're so down to earth and honest and you're so talented at expressing exactly what you're trying to say. I'm a little envious of you and your quest to become a librarian. I guess I'll have to live a little vicariously through you. :) Also, I hear the Chinatown bus could take me up to Boston. Maybe next summer...?
Dear Grandma,
Thanks for believing in me. I don't even remember that story I wrote. Maybe you'll have to dig it out and let me read it again sometime. :)
Dear Kristen,
Thank you for your kind words. Thank you, too, for letting me be a part of your fascinating conversations. You pick topics to write about that are always fun to respond to.
Dear Desmama,
Thank you, too, for your kind words. I'm very much looking forward to the day we get to meet up. Hopefully it is sooner rather than later.
Dear Heather,
I'm happy you found me! Any cousin of Katie's is bound to be fabulous. In fact, my cousin, Sam, married one of her cousins. Do you come from the same side of the family as Leisa?
Dear Kristeee,
It was wonderful getting to meet you! Blake laughs at me, too, when I talk about my blog friends. But the thing is, sometimes I have more contact with all of you than I do with my friends locally, so it really only makes sense, right? :) I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well. Your little girl is lucky to be arriving to such sweet parents.
Dear MommyJ,
I'm so happy that you found me! I, too, love reading about your small town adventures. Also, your kids are adorable. If your family ever does end up relocating this way, we'll have to meet up!
Dear Emily Roundy,
Thank you for the compliments. I honestly don't know what to say. I know we've never really properly met, but you sure married into a fantastic family. Enjoy your time in the Midwest! We loved our time in that part of the country.
Dear Dad (and Mom, and all the rest of youse guys),
Thanks for checking in. This blog was started in part because of you -- what an easy way to stay in touch...and let you in on all the bazillion pictures we take of your grandson. Love you!...and I CAN'T WAIT until Christmas!!
Dear Amy Fitz,
What can I say -- you are fabulous. I'm lucky to have gotten to know you and Ry way back in the Southridge days. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Dear Everyone Else (friends who comment by email and lurkers alike),
Thanks for reading! (And please know that you're more than welcome to speak up whenever you like.)
Happy Thanksgiving! May your feasting be family-filled and fabulous!
Love,
Lindsay

I'm actually from the Dean side of the family...not from Diana's side...so I don't know Leisa. I hope you have a marvelous Thanksgiving!
Ha! Sometimes I forget that we are kind of like cousin-in-laws or something! :) How fun!
Wow. Thanks for the personalized note. That just made my day!!
Happy Thanksgiving.
Okay, so that was just fun. Excellent idea! And thank you for a nice little note to start off my day a bit happier.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Lindsay,
This is a little off topic -- sorry. But after living on Long Island for four years, and heading to the city every chance we got, we found some great books that might make a fun Christmas present.
New York Cookbook - New York introduced us to some foods that we loved and wanted to take with us wherever we went. You just can't find Ziti or Kinishes in Utah. So, I love this cookbook! It also has some fun information about famous restaurants, street festivals and recipes. This book pulls me back to New York everytime I even look at the pages.

Zagats - I'd also recommend the current edition of NY Zagats restaurant survey. New York has the best food you'll ever have. We were able to use this guide to navigate all the best restaurants (for our budget) in New York City.

Wow. I feel kind of awed and humbled. Thank you.
And also, I kind of seriously love your blog because you're thoughtful and express yourself so well and also you live in New York (which is HOLY cool) and have an adorable child and husband and heck: if you ever get a chance to take that Chinatown bus I have some space in our apartment living room and access to free passes to many museums. (Hooray for libraries!)
