Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October
We did have a nice day, gosh, who can complain about a day off with pay, all the fabulous food, and time spent with family? I realize not everyone has good relations with their kinfolk; my prayers for them. For me it is just my daughter and her paternal side here, as all the rest of my family are back east, except for one sister in Calgary, whom I visited in August when her eldest wed; plus my oldest sister lives in Texas I have never been to visit her there. She lived on Grand Cayman Island for about five years many years ago, and I did visit her then. I spent a month there when I was 24. That seems another lifetime ago...
How is your wife doing? And how is April?

Hey, Frank.
You're a soldier, Brother.
Thanksgiving is here, and in keeping with that, I decided that I'd change my avatar.

I didn't tell you to smile more.
I just said you look like some sort of Serious Ninja Samurai who's about to kill someone.
Which is probably a lot better than Smiling Ninja Samurai who's about to kill someone.
I'd actually be a lot more worried if you were smiling.
If you were serious, it means you were concentrating on doing a job. If you were smiling... it means you were actually enjoying it.

I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving. It means a lot for the family to be together.
Being off from work, and being paid for it, makes it all the better. We have our family
reunion the week after Thanksgiving, everyone is still in the state. We've been doing
the reunion that way for 40 years, no need to change it now.
My employees get 5 paid holidays a year, 2 weeks paid vacation, plus 2 bonuses a
year. They can take more days off, without pay though.
The wife is doing great. She's in her busy time of year, had to call in all of her temps,
until after Christmas. She's working 12-14 hours a day now, just to keep up. I think
she said, she had 98 people working 2 shifts, at 12 hours per shift. Whatever it takes
to keep her clients happy with the product and service, they do. In the end, everyone
is happy, meaning repeat business.
April is doing great, the little that I get to see her these days. Between the rain, and the
cold temps, she's not out in the playground much these days. Chewey is getting huge
quick, he may weigh 55 pounds now. He doesn't bark a lot, just to let you know some
thing is amiss. I bought her a horse for Christmas, she doesn't know yet. I took her over
to the horse farm to ride him. She fell in love with him, she was able to handle him real
good. He has never thrown anyone off, kicked anyone, or bit anyone. The owner of the
farm, raises, breeds, and trains the horses before they are sold. This horse looks just
like my horse, Midnight, just younger. I don't care for the name they named him, they
call him Mingo.
My 2 grans, will be arriving here around 6:00 pm today. They left at 6:00 am coming this
way. My son and daughter in law will be here next Tuesday, for a week. The kids will be
here for 2 weeks.
