Thanksgiving Sunday. We've been invited to Thanksgiving dinner with Faith and her mother and friends at a camp they rent on the lower Miramichi. It's an annual tradition, with lots of people about at a beautiful spot on a salmon fishing river. I make cranberry sauce with the wild cranberries and Rachel makes dilled beans and a pumpkin pie. A beautiful drive up the Nashwaak River, with the leaves at their red and gold best and the sun on the river. It's warm enough to eat outside at a long table on the lawn overlooking the river. Potluck, but it works out perfectly with enough of everything from turkey and moose pie to farm pickles and desserts. All kinds of space for the kids to play bocce and football, and tea and whist after dinner. A lovely time
