It's a beautiful fall day, Thanksgiving Monday. Iain and I are waking up with our coffee and will soon be heading to Ottawa to see Mom and Kyle. She has promised us a nice mid-day dinner!
This has been a fun weekend. On Saturday we puttered about the house, getting the outside somewhat ready for winter: putting away the bird bath and solar lights, picking up some of the leaves as Iain gave the lawn one last mow. Yesterday began with another good church service, and then we had a family dinner at Myles and Dodies' place. Missed seeing some family members who weren't able to come, but enjoyed the company of many. Also happy to spend some time with Pastor Tom, and with Hugh (our very multi-talented church pianist), who joined the table.
Invariably the question arises this weekend: "What are you thankful for?" As always, I find the answer hard to nail down, because I am so blessed in my life, and have too many things and people I could name. So I will just say I am thankful for the day, and leave it at that.
