Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving rolls around on the fourth Thursday of every November. This year, Grandma Boyer broke her hip and was recovering in the hospital over the Thanksgiving festivities. Just the fact that she made it through the operation was miraculous so this made the holiday all the more precious and us all the more grateful.

In honour of Grandma, I made Emerald Salad... only mine didn't look so honouring...

At least it tasted good to those who dared!

We usually have a big party on the weekend to celebrate, but Tony was going to race in the Taupo Cycle Challenge, so we had a group over on Thursday night for official celebrations!

Shelley brought a patriotic dessert tray for the festivities and we had a table overflowing with yummy delights!

It was a really fun evening with some of our longest term friends - like Greg and Minzhen - to our newest friends Jelle & Helen, with a bunch of other dear ones who have enriched our lives over the past years.

We are thankful for good friends (and good food)!
