Yes,

Today October 10 is Thanksgiving Day in Canada

I hope that all the Canadians are having a great time .............. turkey and all the trimmings, followed by pumpkin pie.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Sylvia!

We have so much to be thankful for living in God's country.

Our turkey & trimmings was yesterday so today a day of rest and leftovers. Unfortunately the pumpkin pie is all gone.

I often think of my long lost Cousin Micky McGill in Toronto.

Thank you all xx

Thanksgiving is always a happy time, it never seems as much pressure as Christmas

...............and the weather was great here. Not so good in some other parts of Canada.


Robert ....... sorry I haven't been able to help you find Mickey

Thanks Sylvia,
Mickey came out of the woodwork when my Aunt died and vanished just as quickly.
Did she ever exist???

I keep saying there is an alien spaceship that has circulated the earth for centuries, dropping off and picking up our ancestors willy-nilly


It dropped off my 5 x gt grandfather just in time for him to get married in 1742. No previous record(s) exist for him

So it must have picked up/dropped off your aunt and Mickey :-D
