Thanksgiving 2008
The weather was great this year, warm and friendly. many of the old faces were there and that made it great. The pictures that follow are from the weekend, and from apple picking at the St-Benoit-du-Lac Monastery
A clean shaven Gaetan was a big hit. The women were going wild!
Rudy particularly liked the food.....
As usual there was food left over that had to be parceled out
Lida made it (as usual) down from Jersey and Irka was enjoying the company
Tato teaching as usual........
Peter vying for the next Tim Horton commercial spot.....
Greg and Sandra with the girls with a proud Dido in front. They all enjoyed the freedom at Baturyn.
Pan Smolynec brought up one of the turkeys, and he enjoyed the country air.
It was really nice to see Taras back at full health, cozying up to Chrystia as usual.....
The obstacle course was really tough
Ah yes, it is all about the food!
There are always good discussions going on...
Like I said, Rudy REALLY liked the food
Lida and Bohdan were catching up on Montreal events with Wasyl (or were they trying to get into the election pool?)
We had 3 generations represented and all had a good time
Katrusia made sure everyone took their share of food, and then some
Timmy and Olesia waited patiently in line
Sandra displaying her comfort level with the camera
Esme and Elsa never ran far from Greg
Elsa, the flower child
Esme learning to "work the camera"
Peter was getting impatient about the food
Jack was really happy to see everyone again
Like every year, Mr. Happy
Jane was relaxing before the heavy lifting of the turkey meal
St-Benoit-du-lac Monastery
With the loot form the monks' store
The apples were ripe and crisp
The fall colours all complemented each other
The weather was just beautiful
Katrusia was in a relaxed mood in the apple orchard
And so another Thanksgiving gone and the memories (and pounds) are all that are left. Good times, and good memories.
