I will quote my Mom at her last nursing home Thanksgiving. They did not have cranberries.. She blurted out at the table.. It isn't Thanksgiving without Cranberries. Well she passed about 4 month ago at 96.

Dang good to see you back, Select, and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Condolences on the loss of your mom.
I’m sorry to hear about your mother’s passing.
Welcome back @select-fire .
Sorry to hear the loss of your mom.
Good to see you here again.
Sorry about your mom but 96 is a ripe old age! My mom passed away many years ago at age 89 and that was an unusually advanced age for my family.
I liked your mom's quote. When someone asked how my mom was doing in her last few years, she would say "Not bad, but I'm losing old friends a lot faster than I am making new ones!"
We are sorry to hear of your mom's passing . At 96, she had a good run and got to share a lot of time with everyone
Sounds like she wanted a traditional full Thanksgiving meal qnd Let everyone know good for her
and it's good to have back on the forums

Sorry to hear about your mother as mine passed 3 months ago. You still in the rental business?
Sorry to hear your mother passes away also. Kinda funny looking back how I got in the rental business in SC. On a Thanksgiving Day with relatives from Ohio visiting after the big meal I was relaxing in the lazy boy and looking at the paper. Noticed that there was a mobile home park 90 mile away in the Columbia SC area and asked my Wife's brother if he would like to take a ride. Called the number drove by and met the owner and gave him a deposit then and there. No agreement , shake of hand and said I would meet him Monday at his home to do an agreement to purchase. He gave me a 1879 Morgan Silver dollar that Thanksgiving day. Monday I done the agreement with him and the rest is history. Bought numerous other rentals around the area and flipped homes while doing so. Repair and sell for 33 yrs. No one would ever convince me if you want to make money in real estate it isn't possible. I sold my last rental in Feb of this yr . However real estate business is not over I now have my Moms inherited life estate home to sell along with acreage in her town out of state we were going to build a home on. All that work in the rental business always kept me in money to do just about anything I wanted and now the reward has come selling it all. Now the issue is what to do with the investment return. Kinda laid back on all the cars I still have and collected. They mostly are going to be sold. I still buy but they better be real rare. My latest surprise was having 2 of my Camaro's published in a new Camaro book.
Got my two Hungry Man and now it's all white meat. No longer have the grey dark meat. I kind a liked the gristle. Oh well.

What cars so you own and what book is your camaros being published in
I have owned a few camaros over the years, even bought twonew ones in 94 and 96 both red z28 6 speeds but 67 thru 69 are my go too versions
and since I was 18 never been with out at least one
I have a 69 ss 396 I bought in 1976 Now in pieces in my pole barn with a huge stack of new metal and parts I drove and ran the crap out of for many years so many memories ,I still hope to get back on the road before I kick off
I have a 69 I bought about 15 years ago built a 454 ad fee d a 4 speed and 4:11 rear its in the photo I use on here
Hind sight is best I passed so many truly rare and desirable ones way back in my youth cheap that now would be worth crazy money
condolences
glad to see you
missed you around here
Matt Avery who does production work for Mecum Auctions came down here from Chicago to photograph my Dale Earnhardt Hall of Fame Camaro. He was surprised that two were in the garage #8 and #9 of 10 made . Would not photograph the Dale Jr. Prototype GMMG Camaro since it never went into production. His book " Special Edition Camaro's which includes COPO, Yenko , ZL-1 Z-28 , GMMG and others.
