Thanksgiving 2012

On their way to Florida, Bryn, Hervé, Brandon and Alicia stopped in Toronto and were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with us (even though Bryn did not know it was Thanksgiving). Unfortunately, their flight on Saturday was delayed 12 hours. Paul picked them up at 2:30 AM on Sunday. We went back to bed at 5:00 AM.

On Thanksgiving Monday, Alicia dressed up for the visitors.
Wearing an apron over her pretty dress, Alicia helped me make the stuffing for the turkey.
Ella and Alicia are trying to find clothes to fit the dolls that I still have. It's not an easy match.
Bryn and Brandon helped Joshua with the toy they had brought for him. It seemed complicated.
Tom enjoyed his new truck.
Tom even wanted his truck beside him at the dinner table.
It's good that we had dinner at 5:00 pm because Bryn began to look a little tired afterwards.
Ella liked the games that Alicia has on Hervé's iPad.
The cousins, ages 3, 4, 5, 6 and... 11.
They would not stand long for a photo. As soon as the camera flashed,  they said, "Yeah!" and went back to play.

WE all went to bed early Thanksgiving night. Paul was up at 5 to get ready for the first flight to Fredericton. Herve was in the shower by 6 am as the Maires got ready to leave for Florida.

But all of the cousins and parents actually made it together for Thanksgiving for the first time. Nice!

Thanksgiving 2022

We gathered with Mark’s parents and Megan Paul and Tom at Mark and Margot’s place in Barrie. I did a selfie with Josh’s phone. Josh and Ella Megan, Paul and Tom wore masks when they were not eating Note Tom's special mask Mark's parents, Dolores and Bob At the table. Unfortunately my head is in front of Tom. Bob and Dolores had stayed there to look after the dogs while Mark, Margot, Joshua and Ella were in Europe. During that time, Bob, looking for something to do, washed all the wine glasses in the chandelier. Margot bruléed sugar on top of the pumpkin pie. It was the best ever. Disappearing fast! The salted caramel apple tart, which Margot also made, had an extra good flavour. Guess who cleaned up!

A November Walk

To make the most of the nice fall weather which was about to end, Megan suggested we meet for a walk at the Brickworks. Because there is a market on Saturday, it was difficult for Paul and I to find parking. We had to wait until we could find someone who was leaving. In the photo Tom is on a wall above the valley of the Brickworks, which was a quarry in the past for the red brick of Toronto. Tom, Megan, Paul and Paul on the wall. Megan’s Dutch tandem bike was of interest to some of the market goers. No problem parking with a bike.

A Busy Week

On Friday Paul and I, Carole and Roy went to Gary’s new place on Sturgeon Lake near Fenelon Falls. Gary is a member of the Toronto Bicycle Network (TBN). When the large winterized cottage came for sale beside his cottage, he decided to buy it and sell his house in Toronto. He has kept his original cottage as well. His children and grandchildren like to visit. Carole and Roy took their bikes and firewood for Gary. Paul and I brought our bikes and Charles (also a member of the club, and a minister)  Charles was minister at this church one summer. There are 4 churches, each a different denomination, in one block in Fenelon Falls Next we visited the local farmer’s market to check on the butter tarts. We then rode10 km on the trail to a chip wagon for lunch., plus 10 km return. Charles is not going very fast these days. It was a very slow ride. BUT …the next time Charles comes, Gary will take him on his ATV. (Gary has a few of them) After the bike ride Gary took us for a boat ride on St...
