Rancho Palos Verdes, California, is a suburban city south of Los Angeles.
Part of the city overlooks the Pacific Ocean and Santa Catalina Island-- twenty-six miles away.
Today, November 27, is Thanksgiving Day here in the United States of America. It is one of my favorite holidays. At our table we take time to say something that each of us is thankful for. Most of our family won't be able to be with us, but we'll definitely be thinking of them. Pumpkin pie is one of the traditional desserts that I usually make. This good-looking pie was made, however, by the students at the high school where I teach.
