Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving is over and I can't even begin to list what I am thankful for. I have so many blessings in my life.
We went to Bonnyville to have Thanksgiving dinner with the Alexanders. Drove up Sunday, stayed over and back yesterday. It is such a beautiful time of year for a drive. The weather was perfect all weekend so we could enjoy the fall colours and the different landscapes. We arrived at Betty Anne and Greg's to the happy news that Matthew and Kaley had just got engaged. So we started the day with champagne. 
They have a quarter section of land and have made trails through the bush so we went for a wagon ride later in the day. Had a delicious turkey dinner out on their screened deck (that's how warm it was) and played cards in the evening. Greg's mom and her husband were there as well as his sister and husband and her two sons, plus Kate and Matthew and Kaley. A good crowd of most compatible people. We were glad we went.
On the way home yesterday we went for brunch with Sam, Nancy and Jude. It 's kind of hard to get any chat out of Sam and Nancy but Jude got us up to date on her activities. I did check to see if Sam has any business trips coming up. He does not.
Went for supper to Tim and Court's and got some playtime with the boys.
Geoff is back at work today, turned out he didn't have to work last week at all. He's hoping they don't want him much longer.

Hmmm, do I talk too much, Sam and Nancy can't get a word in?

We enjoyed having you for Thanksgiving. Hope you had fun... I'm sure at least watching the show of getting dinner on the table was amusing!

Yes, it's true. I really see Sam and Nancy fighting to get some speaking time. But we just won't let them!

Yes, Jude, didn't you notice me trying to signal you to stop talking?
Betty Anne, we quite enjoyed watching everyone else do the work.

Have to work out the signal in advance so I know what it is!
