Thanksgiving, Christmas and Applepicking
This past weekend was a very busy one! On Friday, Freckles the Furnace Guy, came to deliver unto us the news about the "Big Guy" in the basement. Well it appears as though a new belt was all this baby needed for its updated attire! Not a new shirt or even pants! It's fabulous, it appears as though Freckles got the old guy Showered, blow dried and ready to go for another long winter! He's pretty adament that no one will die from carbon monoxide poisoning this year! This is great news!
Saturday, we spent the rainy damn day cleaning, setting up the Christmas Tree and doing the grocery shopping in search of a lovely bird for next weekend's joint Thanksgiving and Christmas Celebration.
Yes people you read correctly. Next weekend is our Canadian Thanksgiving. Here the harvests tend to be a little faster than you folks in the States.
Oh, you meant the reference to the Christmas tree and the celebration of that...Well, that's easy enough to explain. That's my girls for you! They could not imagine missing, spending some time around the Christmas tree with their Grandparents. The last few years my parents, THE GRANDPARENTS, have become Snowbirds and they fly (they actually drive) to the Sunny State of Florida in early November.
This is where they spend their Christmas. The girls miss them at Holiday time. This year it was decided that we would get them at holiday time anyway. So Thanksgiving will be celebrated main floor with a fab meal and Christmas will be celebrated downstairs with soft Christmas music, Christmas tree and lights!
I know for some this may seem odd...but what of it? We've always said we were kind of strange!
Anyway, we finished off the weekend on Sunday, picking apples at Chudleigh's Apple farm with Colleen and her girls. We had a great time! Hay Rides, farm animals, baled hay mazes, Pony Rides and picking apples! Fresh Crisp Apples! YUMMY!
We went back to Colleen's after and we assisted Colleen with her first attempt at apple pie. I'm not sure how it turned out but I bet if you check out her blog in the near future...there will be a story...I can almost promise it!!
TTYL!

Happy Thanksgiving, Happy United Nations Day, Happy Halloween, Merry Christmas. Hope you have a great October!!
I love the Christmas celebration...I think it is a wonderful idea and not at all strange. Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I vote to leave it up until 2007!
My hubby will confirm that I am sick.
