Thankful

It's an ordinary day in Canada. Just another Thursday. Danielle is at school, but Louis is home since it's a teacher work day in his district. Paul assumed we were having Thanksgiving dinner and at 7 am pulled a 23 pound bird out of the freezer, this morning. That bird is now back in the freezer and exchanged for a smaller, easy to defrost in a few hours, turkey breast that we will have tonight. Louis is more excited about the New Orleans/Cowboys match up this afternoon and Duke is happy to have most of us home.

A few things we are thankful for today....

• Everyone is healthy
• Google translate
• The ice maker Paul got for father's day
• We live in a great city, great country
• Teachers who are doing the best they can for a boy with an extenstive I.E.P.
• Acceptable healthcare
• The Bears are having a decent season
• Our needy, but loyal dog Duke
• Finding Special Olympics in Quebec
• Our new friends in Canada and our old friends too
• The firewood delivery that arrived as our last log was burning this afternoon
• The boy who helped unload the firewood while his sister went to school on American Thanksgiving
