Thanksgiving

It is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada.  The actual Thanksgiving day is Monday.  So in honor of that I thought I might list a few things that I am thankful for at the moment (this is excluding the obvious things that I am thankful for such as family, and friends)

I am Thankful that after 3 trips to the mechanic to get our car fixed this week that it is actually finally fixed!  Long story short today's trip to the mechanic was only $50, which was fabulous that it wasn't any more.  So YAY for that.

I am thankful for the Library.  I love reading.  I like to read for at least an hour before I go to bed.  It puts me into a comfy, tired kind of mood that makes it easier to fall asleep (Sarah would call this dezoning).  So today I am thankful for the Library and 2 books that I am very excited to read.

Fall of Giants is a historical fiction book that follows 5 families from various countries throughout WWI.  Right up my alley.

Did you know that Wicked was a book before it was a musical?  I have known that for a long time, and for some reason, never picked up the book till now.  I am excited.

I am thankful for Maple Cookies.

I don't know if they sell these in the US or not.  I do know that I have never noticed maple cookies in the US, and I certainly never ate any until I was in Canada.  They are delicious!!!  The cookie part is a simple plain kind of sugar cookie.  Then between those maple leafs is delicious maple cream.  OH sooo yummy, and the perfect kind of thing to eat in the fall.  Imagine eating one with a cup of apple cider...the perfect combination of perfect fall flavors.  So thank you Canada for Maple Cookies!

That is my list for now.  I love you my lovely friends and wish you all a very happy (fake) Thanksgiving.
