It is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. Sure seems that it took Parliament a while to declare the holiday and actually settle on a date.
This intermittent writer and author is happy and thankful because I have enjoyed my first week of vacation plus I am hosting a small dinner gathering of family and friends. Soon I will be performing more tidy-up tasks and getting the petit cuisine organized for some preparations from scratch and.. a little cheating by pulling stuffing from a box.
I was hoping to escape to a restaurant and have someone else serve us dinner - plus clean up afterwards. One of the resident offspring insisted that we have Thanksgiving dinner at home. Hmm... I wonder who will be helping out with the preparations and cleanup here? Does anyone remember the story of the Little Red Hen?
The Red Hare restaurant would have been a nice place to host a family gathering. Enjoy an excerpt where Sera and her extended family share in a Thanksgiving meal.
Sera soon learns news that will add to her sadness and feelings of abandonment.
It's a good thing she had Edgar and Jenny Young to give her some comfort.

Giving thanks every day -
beginning, middle and end.
Waking from a dreamy state
The cycle starts all over again.
