Thanksgiving

We are having a nice visit with Poppa and Nana this Thanksgiving weekend.

The cranberry sauce has been made and hopefully, today is the first Thanksgiving I remember to bring it to the table for the meal. The cranberry sauce is the first thing I make for Thanksgiving and inevitably, the one thing I forget to take to the table in the frenzied preparations for dinner.

Right now, I can smell the turkey cooking and the giblets simmering on the stove. Jon and his dad are out running around looking for squash and potatoes (apparently potatoes are hard to get this year). Dex fell asleep on the stroller on his way home from the park and rather than move him, he is out in front of the house being watched by grandma who is sitting on a Muskoka chair reading a book.

It is a beautiful sunny day in Toronto and we are thankful for family and good health. I was also going to add good fortune, but the last few weeks have actually put a major dent in that little nest egg of ours. Oh well. There may be tough times ahead, but we will always have family and that is all we need. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
