I have two grands and one on the way.

Maybe I'll just start celebrating with you all;)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-92031511834840730742017-10-13T10:11:49.964-06:002017-10-13T10:11:49.964-06:00An earlier Thanksgiving date sounds great to me. ...An earlier Thanksgiving date sounds great to me. In the U.S., everything is all balled up together and it is stressful.<br /><br />I smile to think about the difference in U.S. and Canada holidays. Years ago, my husband and I took a trip to Glacier National Park, Waterton, Calgary, and Banff. We congratulated ourselves that our itinerary had us home before the crowded July 4 U.S. holiday. We got quite an education when we arrived in Banff on July 1!!! :-)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121222198887672974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-119342511442547282017-10-13T09:51:33.918-06:002017-10-13T09:51:33.918-06:00I like the idea, too, of an earlier Thanksgiving a...I like the idea, too, of an earlier Thanksgiving away from "Black Friday" and the Christmas rush. Glad you had a great time, a wonderful meal, most of the family there, and a nice day of rest afterwards.<br /><br />The pear crisp sounds wonderful. I like pears but I don't think my husband does - but maybe with the extra stuff, he might. :)Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-4529174659317707592017-10-13T09:31:18.499-06:002017-10-13T09:31:18.499-06:00Wonderful!

I wish Americans celebrated earlier too because as you noted, the holiday wouldn't smash up against Christmas.<br /><br />I'm glad your dinner turned out so well. That pear crisp especially sounds yummy! It was good to have that quiet free day, too.<br /><br />Have a great weekend.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-7453156039256696372017-10-13T07:15:18.218-06:002017-10-13T07:15:18.218-06:00How wonderful to have a relaxed Thanksgiving weeke...How wonderful to have a relaxed Thanksgiving weekend. You had the best of all worlds: celebration and sleeping in.<br /><br />I discovered pear crisp last year when a friend made them for an event. I agree, very yummy and easy to make.<br /><br />It would be nice to have the American TD earlier in the season. It would be a great way to start the holidays.<br /><br />So glad you had family to enjoy your weekend with. Have another great week.Susanhttp://fruitfulwords.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-35846846120509093012017-10-13T04:15:24.306-06:002017-10-13T04:15:24.306-06:00Oh I am so glad you had a wonderful ( and perfectl...Oh I am so glad you had a wonderful ( and perfectly cooked!!)

Now I hope that I am arrived at a point that I don't care.
