Fall Fun

Delayed Thanksgiving with both families meant making some other plans for a beautiful fall long weekend....starting with a great surrogate Thanksgiving dinner at Renny's Village Smokehouse! After a full feed of turkey and pie, it was a struggle to stay awake through two movies at the drive-in.

An excuse for a weekend drive to the Harrow area led to breakfast at Midgee's Cafe in Cottam, followed by visits to Oxley Winery in Colchester and The Grove brew pub in Kingsville, plus a nice scenic sojourn along Lake Erie.

We spent another relaxing weekend at the trailer before celebrating Cox-Giving with a fabulous catered turkey dinner from Cravings Family Restaurant.

Fabulous fall weather also meant some overdue yardwork, now that my back was up to the task - along with bonfires, early winterizing, much art prep....and another visit to the drive-in.

As October waned, we still had one more family Thanksgiving in store in eastern Ontario!

Thanksgiving dinner and Bayside Honey Cream at Renny's....with pumpkin pie still to come!
