And a Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians too! Love that extra day off to work in the garden. Thank you, Devon and Carla, from all of us, for your good wishes. And of course, we have roses for the table! Judith

Thank you for your good wishes, folks. Our thoughts are with the folks of southern Manitoba, where a major storm, including snow and high winds, so serious and widespread that the premier has called a state of emergency, necessitating calling in skilled help from neighbouring provinces and Minnesota to help clear snow and downed trees and power lines: tens of thousands without power, they report. People were advised to avoid travel. ----------------- I'm extra thankful, for I was having trouble with words reduplicating, was dragged back to the head of the thread 3 or 4 times, then to Google offering several links twice, couldn't get back, started the story again, then to be told that I was going incognito. I decided that I must write one sentence, then post and come back to edit. Then I hit the button to show all that I had open, found the latest edition of my story, opened it, came back ... hit "Submit" ... and here I am ... ... editing! ole joyful

A little late with my wishes, but hope all had a great long weekend. I was busy sinking pots in the veggie garden to overwinter (fingers crossed). Back to work tomorrow.

I did my thanksgiving thing on Saturday. Interesting day because my husband and I did the local "Walk to Remember" a fundraiser in memory of stillbirth and infant loss. Then after that we had thanksgiving dinner. We do truly have a lot to be thankful for. As you folks are reaching for your Rolaids, we are already done digesting our turkey. So cheers, as we go pick up a couple pizzas.

Ours was yesterday, Sunday - but still turkeying today.

Triple b, it was probably good for you, yet a very sad feeling to take that walk. It must have been hard to do that, and yet have Thanksgiving on the same day. Though I am sure you have lots and lots to be thankful for.

As we do not live close to our kids and usually do not even celebrate as we choose to garden instead, this year, I decided, I am ready for turkey so invited two sets of good friends. It turned out wonderfully. We had a glass of Champagne, well, you know "bubbly" - not the real McCoy, to begin with. I was pleased with the turkey and all the trimmings. We are all British ex-pats so we had roast potoates with our turkey. Was pleased with the way dinner turned out. For dessert, I offered pumpkin pie and cream or apple pie and custard! (or both). Unlike north Americans, everyone chose the apple pie and custard. Pumkin still in fridge untouched. So we still have that to look forward to. H mm! After dinner I made special coffees, called them Cafe Canadian, just like Irish coffe but with Rye, Canadian whiskey!

Turkey is such good value. Separated it all and had another turkey dinner tonight, the rest is in the freezer for caserolls etc. and made the soup stock. I must sound patheic, but it is a number of years since I have done this. We spend Christmasses at our daughter's on the mainland.

I am glad I got the attention of a couple of Cannucks anyway, but I know there are more of you out there. Missing Niecey lately - not seen her around, also Carol, really been thinking about her, she posted so much, then I know she was having a big move from Edmonton to Calgary. That is the last I heard. If you are looking Carol. I do hope all is well and you are settling down nicely.

Hugs and cheers to all?
