Canadian Thanksgivng

So yesterday, Oct 13, was Canada's Thanksgiving. They do not have a story about the Indians and pilgrims like we do. I think it is more of a day to celebrate the end of the harvest....All the Canadians I ate and celebrated with didn't exactly know when it was started or exactly why they call it Thanksgiving instead of Harvest Day. I think they were just very jealous of my favorite holiday... But in reality, Thanksgiving is Thanksgiving. I think it was good that I had just went to TX because I think it made me more appreciative and grateful for the friends and family I have. I was talking to a friend recently who said "once you distance yourself from everyone you learn to make the most of times you're together that much more." And I really did enjoy my trip so much. But back to Thanksgiving, we went to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. I went with a group from our condo. It was made of me, Jeanne and Harry, Mary-Helen (a Canadian we work with), a lady from Scotland, a man from England, a man from California, and 2 other ladies from Canada. It was nice to eat and get to meet some new people. This meal was a 3 courses. We started with a Cesar salad and a bowl of butternut squash, then we moved on to turkey with both sweet and regular mashed potatoes. There was stuffing and cranberry sauce too. Then for dessert we had a slice of carrot cake. It was all amazing. Apparently, this restaurant puts this on every year, so wonderful. I love that while I was in TX so many people had asked my mom if I had gained weight due to all the food I eat and talk about...you will be happy to know that not only have I not ballooned up but I am actually smaller now then I was when I came here 2 months ago...I guess the Mexican lifestyle suits me
