I'm finding more and more to give thanks for every year.

Non-Canadians might like to have a turkey sandwich to help us celebrate.

I'm thinking 'turkey' here in Wales. (Still a Canadian at heart - shall phone Mum in the Niagara Pen. tonight to wish her a happy one!)

P.S. 'Pen' as in Peninsula. Not as in The Pen. She's 81 and taken to slot machines, but it hasn't got that bad. Yet.

Jack, what are you doing on the Internet (not to put too fine a point on it?)


The Thanksgiving weather here in T.O. is perfect, cold, crisp, sunny. I think our American colleagues should rethink the end of November for theirs, it is always dismal and cold, and far too close to Christmas.


yours, Peter T.

But then again, we all know what the Canucks are really giving thanks about, don't we...?

Peter,

I was just thinking what a perfect fall day it is here in the Toronto area.

An Pluimeir Ceolmhar, I'm not with you. Care to elaborate?

Well, from someone who has a LOT to be thankful for this year.....'Tanks'.

Had a wonderful dinner last night at our friends' place AND met a neat new person. Her name is Phyllis Head, she's 80, and has spent her life workin' for change and peace. Neat time and good folks.

Of course we know what the Canucks are really thankful for, An Pluiméir Ceolmhar. They're thankful for their grand & free country, and for all their personal & private blessings; and also that they're acquiring CarolC for their very own while WE are *keeping* Dubya for ours, oy.

But speaking of the blushing bride, Peter T - *LOL*! heeheehee See that? This here Mudcat is more addictive even than   ahem   well y'know. Aaah give th' pore feller a break wouldyez, he's wore oot. BACK T' WORK NEWFIE!! Dere's more'n T'anks t' be Given. :)

She then picked up the fryin' pan
An' she began to Knock (knockknock),
For to let th' servants know, me lads,
That I was at me Work,
Well indeed I was....
--The Jolly Tinker

Sian, another LOL! & Bless yer dear Mum in Niagara too! "This gal don't need a Job, she needs a year in the Pen!" God love her, may she rob the One-Armed Bandits blind.

Happy Thanksgiving Canada.

Well, I'm a day late and a dollar short but Happy Thanksgiving anyway! Spent most of the weekend nursing a sore foot and shoulder, but managed to visit with the family. Mom made it home from the nursing home for several hours and gloried in being in her real home. There was a sad undercurrent of emotion, this being our first family gathering without my sister Barb, but we will struggle on. The sun shone on the autumn colours of the Bruce Peninsula and reminded us that sometimes we should be thankful for eternal things too.

God Bless,

Mooh.

Man, it must be gorgeous up on the Bruce this weekend. Lanark County is pretty fine too.

We had a 16th birthday for Emily and a wedding for Mom--we didn't have time for a turkey!

Happy T'anksgiving everyone.

Pooka: another LOL, although the laugh had to be unintentional on your part. "Going to the Pen." in my home town means going to the Pen Centre shopping mall. Which is where my mother goes to spend her winnings! Hate to think what happens to The Inheritance if she gets to spend a whole year there!

Carol, welcome to the Canadian club (there is a bottle of the stuff around here somewhere). The secret is to get out and rock the car out of the ice patch, rather than putting your foot down on the accelerator. yours, Peter
