This was the beginning of the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. The second Monday of October is when it's celebrated and it came a bit late this year. People often do the 'big meal' on Sunday and lounge around on Monday eating up some of the leftover turkey. Tomorrow, we shall go to visit friends who have created a tradition of hosting us for a tremendous yearly dinner.We generally do grocery shopping on Saturdays but hardly ever have to rub shoulders with as many other customers as today. I guess everyone's pantries were bare. I didn't take any photos when we were out though. Wanting to add a few to Flickr, I took this closeup of a hanging, wooden souvenir of one of the temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It's one of three wooden objects on a wall in the living room.
The weather has turned a bit more 'normal' with less sun and a bit warmer temperatures. Jay is an expert in using up all the food provisions in the apartment in time for our winter departure. Today, he found some real butter, so he made a cake. Something baking in the oven makes a home smell so great. Today the extra warmth was welcomed as well.
