To the Editor:

Once again, Michael and I decided to take Dana and Vinnie DiSalvio up on their invitation to come to The Sandbox Café in Surf City for their third annual free, yes, free, Thanksgiving Day feast.

We hesitated, but only for a moment. Would we actually have as much fun at The Sandbox this year as we had at their free Thanksgiving feast in 2017 (our first)? Sometimes, it is best to simply have great memories of an event instead of attempting to relive that good time and end up disappointed. I think we have all been there.

We messaged Dana (owner) and gave her a “heads-up” that there would be three of us joining their festivities this year.
