Sunday was thanksgiving....in canada....and in the great canadian tradition it was another excuse to be paid to not turn up to work on monday...
it is however a most excellent warm up for christmas festivities...for my first ever thanksgiving i was treated to not just one celebratory meal but 3!...
yes there was the tour around both sides of the family on saturday, including HOMEMADE pumpkin pie!....and then on sunday our own turkey dinner......well it was actually a dinner out of leftovers from the first two but no less amazing.....which we took with us out to the 'river rat shack' a rather palacious cabin...with large central fireplace, rooms with bunk beds, kitchen and big fancy bbqs...it is even equipped with a generator for lighting....however despite the chilly weather most of our time was spent outside around an open firepit...and why wouldnt you when this is right outside the front door....
