THANKSGIVING 2012

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6th, 2012 

Gorgeous flowers my wonderful mother-in-law brought me the day before.



  

 Awww, Autumn.  Next to Christmas it's my most favorite time of the year.  The weather changes to a "not so humid" comfort level for adorning cozy sweaters, relaxed walks in the woods, cuddling close to bonfires and sipping hot chocolate or whatever beverage one might enjoy ;). 

It's a true family time.  Always it has been a big family tradition to get with my grandparents aunts, uncles, cousins, pets and so on, most times at our family cottage Crooked Narrows on Mink Lake up north just outside of the southern point of Algonquin Park, but not always.  One year we got together at a neighbours cottage, while the boys were putting a new rough on ours.  Another year we went to my Aunt Penny's house in Bancroft and another at Aunt Penny and Dons house also in Bancroft.  My father and his wife Joan also lived in Bancroft for a while so one year we went there.  We have had a family Thanksgiving here at the house a couple of years ago and that was really nice too since my dad was able to join us all the way from Alberta where he and Joan now reside once again.  I guess it didn't really matter where we were just  as long as we were spending it together.
