[ happy weekend! ]

AND TO my fellow Canadians out there, Happy Thanksgiving!



Even though we don't have all the beautiful colours of fall here in Dubai, we'll still be celebrating Thanksgiving with turkey and all the trimmings {including pumpkin pie - I found pumpkin here! see my recipe here}

No big family gathering. But to me, as long as I've got my guy at my side, I'm truly grateful for that.

However you'll be celebrating, have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And to all of my non-Canadian friends, I'm wishing you sunshine for a lovely fall weekend!

    Have fun celebrating. It must be hard to be so far away from your families. Happy Thanksgiving! My grandpa was 100% French Canadian so I always feel that bond - despite being a MIchigan girl of many nationalities.

    Happy Thanksgiving! Quiet day around here. Thank goodness our temps are coming down a bit. Mornings and night are pleasant now -- and I can finally start to get out of these summer clothes. I so miss the Fall season and all the changes that come with it. Hope your day is great. Tammy

    Happy Thanksgiving to you!
    I so wish our Thanksgiving was this early as well - makes much more sense to me. I think having ours so close to Christmas is a pain and it gets overshadowed.
