Canadian Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day in Canada is the second Monday in Oct. We celebrated the day with Martin's daughter Kathryn in our home. Martin drove to Petrolia to pick her up that morning. We enjoyed her company the whole day. She really likes having her dad nearer now. We roasted a turkey using a recipe from the pioneerwoman.com. Also, her baked butternut squash and apple recipe that we love. Potatoes, gravy (with roasted vegetables incorporated), dressing, and asparagus. The grand finale was homemade apple pie (with apples we picked last month with Peetra). If you look over Martin's shoulder into the kitchen, you'll see some of the remains of the feast. We taught Kathryn to play Mexican Train, a favorite of ours. Before we drove her home, we packed up some nice leftovers for her to share with Jake who had to work that day. We all have much to thank God for at this time.
