Greetings!

"Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. Having both is a blessing." - Unknown. This issue features "What You Can Buy near 'the beach,'" my recent sales, downtown Sarasota holiday festivities, my favorite Thanksgiving dish, and an opportunity for you to show off your photography skills. I am so fortunate to help people buy and sell their homes, places where they make memories with their families and friends. As I take time to give thanks for the many blessings in my life, I want to let you know how grateful I am for knowing each of you. Happy Thanksgiving! With your expectations in mind, Georgia

Sarasota on the Move

ME's Sweet Potato Stuffed Oranges Thanksgiving was my mother, ME's favorite holiday. She loved cooking, especially for a crowd. Sweet potatoes in oranges were always my favorite dish! Marshmallows were essential when I was a child, but I now prefer them with a simple half of pecan or sprig of rosemary for decoration. RECIPE
