Thanksgiving weekend…
Well it has been a few days since my last post but it has been a busy weekend and I haven’t been online much as we had some of our friends come down to visit us for a thanksgiving weekend.
We asked Paul and Annie to come for a visit and we told them that we would have the thanksgiving dinner on the Sunday. There was a condition, if they wanted to come they had to bring with them a pumpkin pie. To the people from North America this is nothing new, but in the UK… well not many people have heard of, let alone made pumpkin pie.
So they slaved for many hours making the pumpkin puree and pastry. I have to say that this was also my first time trying this and I loved it!! They did the most wonderful job and it really made the weekend.
We all really had the most amazing weekend and just relaxed, drank some home-brew beer and played lots of board games. I hope that those from Canada also had an equally (but not better. only joking) weekend!
So in the true sprit of thanksgiving, what I am thankful for is the following;
I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to travel the world in my past job but now that I have the chance to take a different direction in my life which means that I can stay at home. At home where I can spend time with my wife and see my daughter grow up into the wonderful girl she is.
