For those readers outside of Canada, this is Thanksgiving Weekend for us. It happens on the second Monday in October each year. Thanksgiving is a harvest celebration, to give thanks at the end of harvest season. We celebrate each year with Tuffy P’s side of the family.
This year, the family is gathering a Tuffy’s dad’s cottage in the Kawartha Lakes on Sunday. I’ve been elected to cook a turkey dinner for the omnivores. Sheila is preparing a huge pot of vegan chili for the vegans and vegetarians in the crowd. I picked up my turkey this morning from my local organic butcher. Well, I don’t think he’s so organic, but his meat is. He takes orders for free-range birds and does quite a good business.
Hopefully tomorrow’s weather will be another nice crisp, sunny autumn day. I think I’ll bring a button accordion up and do some playing while the turkey cooks. Memphis will have a great time up there, splashing in the water, and showing off for the family.

Happy Thanksgiving, my friend! It sounds like you’ve all got the perfect day planned.
That sounds like the perfect way to spend Thanksgiving. All the best to you!
Long weekend here too, the fiesta of Pilar, patron virgin of Spain.
No turkey though. But it’s the stuffing, roasted veg and pumpkin pie I miss, more than the bird.
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
