Happy Thanksgiving

 This long weekend in October is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Its a time to celebrate together with family and friends over dinner with the turkey with stuffing, mashed potato and pumpkin pie, although my favourite is the pecan pie made with Canadian maple syrup. It is the perfect time to indulge and enjoy the food together with family. One of our favourite places to visit is the Niagara On The Lake, near Niagara Falls. This is the perfect place to visit during Spring, Summer and Fall. There is Main Street to stroll for shops, wine tasting and filled with many restaurants offering local produce on their menus. We enjoy visiting the truly Canadian shop of  Greaves Jams that produce and sell jams made from local produce like strawberry, peach, grapes from nearby wineries and fruit farms  They even sell the famous ice wine jelly. After shopping, join one of the local wineries tour to learn about making wine and best of all enjoy the wine tasting. We also enjoy visiting one of the Vintage Hotels for brunch. We are thankful for this beautiful country Canada as we celebrate our 150th year of Confederation this year. We are thankful that we Canadians are compassionate towards others and our environment. We love, enjoy and take care of our beautiful and prosperous country.
