Happy Thanksgiving Whom You Know Readers! We are Thankful for our Audience!

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday to spend with loved ones and reflect on all that we have to be thankful for as Americans.  We firmly believe this is the best country in the world (although we really love Ireland too and the UK) and are so thankful for our freedom here.  Thank you for spending your time reading us-we appreciate your interest!


Top Ten Things Peachy Deegan is Thankful For:
1. Her health
2. Her closest family members
3. Her education and mentors
4. The success of Whom You Know thank you readers
5. Her American citizenship
6. Her amazing panel of critics
7. Every Mover and Shaker we have featured
8. Her friends of course
9. Leadership by Mayor Bloomberg for the City of New York
10. The Peachy Deegan made with Star Vodka at Swifty's


Incidentally, it was confirmed in recent years that Peachy's tenth great grandparents did come to America on the Mayflower-John Alden and Priscilla Mullins.  You may know them from the famous poem by Longfellow who also descended from Alden and Mullins....Happy Thanksgiving Manhattan!
