many thanks

Climbing on a bail of hay.

This Thanksgiving weekend goes down in my books as the warmest and sunniest that I recollect.  That's the first thing I'm thankful for.











It was so nice to get outdoors wearing shorts and t-shirts for one last time before the  l  o  n  g    c o  l   d  winter arrives....

I'm also thankful for turkey dinners.  Our first turkey dinner was in Sackville at Ryan's parent's where we also had a wonderful surprise visit from old friends Andrew, Kathy and their two kids.
We were so busy catching up in fact, that I forgot to take out the camera!  We don't have visual proof of the visit but it sure was nice to see them.  It's been way too long. 

Eluding hornets.

Ruby and I went for a walk in big field where thankfully, we did not get stung by any hornets!  Word has it they have nests in the ground out there.  Phew.  We made it out un-stung. 

The Ginn's and Grant's.

Our second amazing turkey dinner was at my parent's place where we managed to gather the troops for a family photo.  No holiday is quite the same without Matthew and Esther, but we're thankful that they're doing very well in Calgary.  I miss them dearly.

I have a lot to be thankful for this year, but I am most thankful for Ruby.
