Just returned from the Kootneys, \u00a0British Columbia. We stopped at my sister Theresa’s for a Thanksgiving feast. My sister Miranda and her family also joined us.<\/p>\n
Theresa recently bought and restored a historical hall. She opened up her Veterinary clinic on part of the main floor and the second floor is dedicated to a massive hall and kitchen–perfect for hosting parties, suppers and dances. Her new clinic is amazing. High ceiling and big windows keep it well lit.<\/p>\n
\u00a0It is now home to my darling Pyewacket–the cat we rescued from a tree in the forest behind my home (he’d been stranded for a week). I couldn’t keep Pyewacket because my bully bog Pablo would probably have killed him. My sister said she’d take him to her clinic and find him a good new home. Well, guess what? Pyewacket wrapped\u00a0his magic tail around her finger and she could not part with the handsome boy. So , Pywacket is now her clinic cat. I will blog and tell the true, amazing story about finding Pyewacket and our magical connection in an upcoming blog–maybe for Halloween, as he truly is a magical cat.<\/div>\n
Enjoy the pictures of our Thanksgiving at Hart Hall. I admit to posting a few comical comments under a couple of the pics–I couldn’t resist. I wanted to keep going, but thought I might offend, so there are only a few joke captions.<\/div>\n
The meal was perfection: 3 antibiotic-free free-range turkeys, appetizers, casseroles, veggies,stuffing,desserts,\u00a0lots of beverages. My sister catered it herself! She cooked everything for 60 people! This is a woman who works full time at her vet practice and manages all Hall tenants and activities.<\/div>\n
The night included a talent segment. I have many pics of some of the acts. \u00a0My talent was to lead \u00a0the Thanksgiving guests to dance the Bachata to a song by John Lennon, Stand By Me<\/i>. Too bad I was dancing and couldn’t get a pic of that–everyone danced! It was great.\u00a0I wish I lived in Nelson, Hart Hall would be shaking with my\u00a0Zumba\u00a0classes every night.*If you enjoy my blog, please send a vote my way.
