Ah the twists and turns of my crazy life! It's Thanksgiving Day here in Canada. This is the day that we say thanks for our food and our family, things like that. Usually we cook a feast of turkey or ham and lots of fall veggies, make some pies and eat in the middle of the afternoon. 

The other turkey day is Christmas and it's a bigger feast but this one is a good one also. Since my family is out of town until later today, I will be the dedicated or designated cooker of Mr. Turkey Lurkey.

The bird has been thawing in the fridge for a few days and should be ready to stuff and roast in the oven.

Last night, I had a wonderful long chat with an old friend from Ebaby and, if she reads this, I want to thank her for her moral support. A friend in need is a friend indeed and she was the friend indeed last night. Lots of laughs and some tears from me at the end due to a situation that developed on another front. Thanks my friend!

I think celebrating Thanksgiving with your loved ones, gives you times to reflect and ponder at all the things that God has given you.  We ought be grateful for what we received.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and everybody came as expected.
