Happy Thanksgiving

[crowdog66]

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians on my friendslist. :-)

In about an hour, George and I will be off to the city of Selkirk to spend the late afternoon/early evening with his family. We're taking coleslaw this time; hopefully we bought enough.

About a year ago, we took my mother out to Tavern in the Park at the Assiniboine Park Pavilion, which was pretty much her favorite restaurant of all time. The food is terrific, the place is bright and breezy and full of windows, and the ceiling is made of glass, flooding the place with light. We'd debated whether or not to have Thanksgiving dinner at her place as we usually did, but decided that it would be too much work for her.

After a wonderful lunch, as we waited with her for the cab that would take her home, she looked at us and said: "When I'm gone, I want you to remember me exactly like this, because this is one of the happiest days of my life."

I'll always treasure that moment.
