OMG...I did a double take when I saw my thread on page 1...wasn't even going to post on it...
Thank you PAM..You remembered that we Canucks have to celebrate early.
It was a LOVELY day. My sister had all 15 of us over at her place, everyone brought a dish (my pasta shells of course!).
My 2 year old great nephew was a complete joy (and I don't generally like kids...oops, did I type that out loud? )
It was warm enough for me to eat outside on the deck (a definite rarety up here when we sometimes have SNOW for Thanksgiving).
On Sunday CJ and I did our annual Thanksgiving ride in the country to look at the leaves turning...lots more this year thanks to the warmer weather (sometimes they're bare by now).
It's a tradition we started years ago, nothing really planned, but it felt so nice. We gathered leaves and pressed them into one of my (many) extra text books. He'd helped me all morning with the Pasta Shells..I mean sous chef divine...all the prep, all the clean up...got the job done in half the time.
CJ was off early yesterday on a business trip (delivering training sessions actually) three hours north of us until Friday... the place is so small the motel has two TV channels and no phone in the room. He called tonight from the payphone outside, transport trucks zooming by.
Things are pretty good here...If I had the patience and motivation Sage does I could list lots of positives. Alas right now in addition to the kidney action of the last couple of weeks, I've come down with a cold.
