There'll be sad songs

Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. We wouldn't have remembered except for the calendar. It doesn't seem like fall here yet, except that school and everything has started up....but the trees are still green, we were walking around outside in short sleeves today, and this is not a long weekend.
We will celebrate on Monday though. We'll go to a nice restaurant with friends that has a western buffet. It will be a celebration, even if there's no turkey. We'll talk about what we are thankful for. We have a lot.

Tonight, M and I went out for supper, there was live music in the background, piano with violin. They were playing lots of slow ballady songs, which I think put both of us into a sentimental mood. We didn't talk much during supper, which we kind of started laughing about at one point. As we shared what we'd been thinking about we realized that we were thinking similar thoughts about family and friends. I think it was spurred on by the sound of the violin playing some sad love songs.

As much as we were thinking about how much we'd like to connect with family and friends from home, thinking of them makes us realize that we have so much to be thankful for, this will be a good weekend to remember that.
