Thanksgiving

It's happy Thanksgiving to all of us who can't vote for Sarah Palin. And, unfortunately, there is no Palin equivalent in Canada (unless Cheryl Gallant comes close). Dave is home for the three-day weekend and the kids are enjoying the beautiful weather. We are off to the Lynches tomorrow for the first of two turkey dinners. The second turkey will be consumed at lunch on Monday at the in-laws. I am back in fine running form (a slow plod). Hannah and Jacob have upped their note-writing with more requests for TV watching complete with a Yes and No box for my response. Ben has reverted to baby mode (crawling, baby talk) in an attempt to wrestle all attention from little Joe. Little Joe is somewhat unaware of the political struggles that accompanied his birth. However, he is becoming a little more savvy regarding his brother's efforts. The dog is enjoying the changing seasons on the farm as he took the opportunity today to fully enjoy Grandpa's manure - yay! Let's hope the boys don't follow suit.
