Thanksgiving in Canada is already past a couple of weeks ago. We had a crowd at the cottage for turkey dinner. It was eighty degrees and sunny out so the majority ate out on the lawn.

We try to have these informal meals with large numbers in attendance several times a year. The next is new years day dinner. The wife really enjoys doing them. At least the women pitch in and help clean up afterwards.

My wife is a great cook and I take it for granted. Word spreads and more and more people become regulars. Everything always goes smooth.

It makes us happy that everyone enjoys themselves as well. Even our dogs behave beter than normal when these dinners are happening.
