Thanksgiving on Oeming Road

Hello -
We celebrated such a lovely Thanksgiving I feel I want to share our good fortune with you. I went to the Internet for some new ideas & found out that their menus were almost identical to ours. I had a friend come over & help me prepare the feast. We gave the turkey a good rub from a recipe on the Internet. Our menu included turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage salad, peas, corn. My very own pickled beets & Grandpa's very own tomatoes - we had a bumper crop. Katie brought pumpkin pies made from pumpkins she grew in her garden. After dinner i had my friend tell about the origin of this Canadian holiday - very interesting. Hu brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Reminded me of the times when we went camping - he would scrounge around & bring me a bouquet of sild flowers to adorn our table. Some things never change.
Katie & Jason are moving to Slave lake this weekend. Jason got a good teaching job there in the highschool. I hear that it is a picturesque town with parks, library, swimming pool. There is a vibrant branch of the Church. Hu visits this branch in his capacity as Stake Sunday School President. We hope to drive up & visit them some weekend - stay in a hotel & get acquainted with the area.
We attended Stake Conference this past weekend - very good talks & counsel. Hu gave the opening prayer on Sunday. Very articulate & spiritual
Good news from Spencer & Nora this morning - their baby is a boy - so I better hustle & get some blue fabric for a quilt!
Love to all
Grannie
