Happy Thanksgiving, Canada style

On Saturday we were invited to share in Thanksgiving celebrations with a dear Guiding friend and her family. Having never been to a Thanksgiving meal before, we didn’t really know what to expect. The house was full of people and I can’t remember the names of everyone, but we were made very welcome. Margaret’s husband, Terry, had made a ramp to give Racheal easy access to their beautiful heritage home.

First, there were pumpkins to carve. Summer and Racheal made a good attempt at our gap year logo, joining in the fun with the other young adults in the family.

When it started to rain, and get chilly outside, folks gathered in the sitting room to chat by a roaring fire until we were called through for a delicious meal. There was chicken, ham and a lovely selection of vegetables, followed by various puddings including pumpkin pie of course! Lots of things for Racheal to try.

And today (second Monday in October) is Thanksgiving in Canada so …

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

And thank you Margaret, Terry and family for a wonderful afternoon and evening.
