Even so, it took a couple of years to fully understand, because it is largely a family affair. A couple of years, though, we've been invited to different friends' homes and seen for ourselves what a huge event it is.<br /><br />Yeah, "football" means something totally different there. Ditto "hockey", as I'm sure you've found out by now ;-)Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-78909879858850332452010-10-10T16:28:37.435-07:002010-10-10T16:28:37.435-07:00I've made the same mistake you mentioned.

Well, they have heard of Thanksgiving, but are surprised that there is one in Canada. Heck, I've even explained the 'Canadian Football<br />League'. I get some very blank stares lolklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-17007901981356004472010-10-10T16:03:37.963-07:002010-10-10T16:03:37.963-07:00Hi Gary.

The turnoff was so badly signposted that we missed it and had to double-back and have another run at it. <br /><br />The following year we did another tour, and needed to make the same turn again. We remembered the trouble we'd had previously and were extra-vigilant. And we still missed it!<br /><br />So we always remember Hope as the place we keep getting lost.<br /><br />Have a great Thanksgiving too. Are you celebrating it over there (and explaining to the Brits what it's all about)?Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-46860749618167730182010-10-10T15:14:38.119-07:002010-10-10T15:14:38.119-07:00It was my pleasure to bestow this award on you.

I couldn't think of a more 'fowl' expression:-)<br />All the very best to you, in my other home, British Columbia. I shall be back over, next May, staying in a very fittingly named town, 'Hope'. Hope, British Columbia was, for trivia buffs, where 'Rambo First Blood', was filmed.<br />I shall check out the bloggers you have passed this award on too.<br />Have a peaceful and positive Thanksgiving Day.<br />With respect, Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-70206038992673668212010-10-10T12:09:20.403-07:002010-10-10T12:09:20.403-07:00Thanks T.

I should have mentioned in my post that I did try to avoid tagging blogs that had obviously already received this one, and yours was one of the blogs that came to my mind. I've got it bookmarked but just noticed that I wasn't following. Don't know why!
