The highlight of the day was our Thanksgiving dinner, celebrated with David and Suzanne and the four girls at their home. We were together for Thanksgiving but although we ate turkey in Mexico, it wasn't quite the same as eating a traditional American Thanksgiving turkey dinner, so Suzanne cooked one tonight. Sarah set a beautiful table in the dining room and we used the good china, the best silver and fanciest crystal, making it a very festive occasion. After dinner was over, we eight sat around the table for ages, chatting of former dinners and happy times.
And the four girls cleared the table and put away the food, as well as loading the dishwasher and washing the pots and pans. No adult touched the kitchen. What a wonder!!
All afternoon, we unloaded the Christmas decorations. Suzanne put things around the house while the girls and I decorated the Christmas trees, with Christmas music playing all the while getting us into the Christmas spirit. Finally, while eating our pumpkin pie, we watched the cartoon of Mr. Grinch stealing Christmas. It was just a lovely day. A day for the ages.

Hello Ruth, I happened upon your blog from last Aug when searching for Hugh Crosby. About 5 years ago my wife and I purchased a beuatiful log home on PEI from Hugh just before he moved back to NS. We also purchased a number of original pieces(water colours & clay work). We are now in the market to sell some of what we have and after reading your blog, was wondering if you or someone you know might be interested in any of the items. If so, you may contact me at dang22222@gmail.com for more info. All the best!
