Because we lived in the United States for four years and because our children were born in the U.S. we have permanent fond recollections of previous Thanksgiving celebrations. We gained a real appreciation for friends who showed us how to celebrate this "holiday" in grand style. Even after we moved back to Canada in 1978 we have always celebrated two Thanksgivings every year. The Canadian celebration in October and then again now in November. Our standard reason for two Thanksgivings has always been that we have so much for which to be thankful we can't fit it all into one celebration.
Tomorrow the turkey is going into the oven in the late morning--and together with Lisa we are putting on a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
Maybe it will be a morning like this!!
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:8
Maybe it will be a morning like this!!

Hi Marilyn-
For sure we have so many reasons to be thankful - wonderful to have these two celebrations so close together. By now you've enjoyed your turkey dinner - yummy! I can almost smell those marvellous aromas wafting through cyberspace! I'm sure baby Annika is basking in all the love and warmth through these celebrations. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
