Life's a Stitch

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. I had a difficult time in the beginning celebrating Thanksgiving before Halloween, but now I’m used to it. Canadian Thanksgiving is officially on a Monday, but people generally pick one day of the long weekend for the turkey dinner. You could actually manage three days of feasting if you juggled invitations.

We’ve established a tradition involving a visit from our friends from Seattle. Marsha and I hit the yarn shops and Talbots, a treat for her in Canadian dollars. Dave and Chuck work on a project, this time preparing for the new Allan Brick retaining wall. I can picture those guys stacking those bricks like giant fifty pound Legos. Marsha and Dave own Riley the Airedale. Another cutie with a big nose, he looks just like a stuffed animal:

Ok, I confess. When I see a cute dog on my screen, I’ve been known to pat its head with my cursor.
