Every year, Simone enjoys the fall Thanksgiving Tour. Given that the Canadian Thanksgiving celebrations take place in October, the occasion is generally suited to some prime autumn colour viewing as well. This year was an exception of sorts: hubby decided to join in.
Somewhat disbelievingly, Simone acquiesced to his participation and off the family went, after a leisurely lunch on the holiday Monday at a local restaurant. They started at a local crafts place, aiming to investigate further away places afterward. However, as they drove on the overpass, they quickly realized that those further north craft places were a very, very bad idea. The traffic heading south was incredibly heavy, given that many cottagers close their cottage for the season on Thanksgiving weekend then head back to wherever they hail from on holiday Monday.
The first place they visited, a jeweller, featured beautiful but overpriced items. Well, perhaps they weren't overpriced but Simone couldn't afford them. The second place featured hats and silver jewelry that was reasonably priced. Little B gleefully picked a hat (adult sized) that tickled his fancy. He looked smashing in it! The 13 year old found a sweet pair of earrings that resembled a bunch of grapes while Simone picked a ring and matching bracelet. Hubby sighed and took out his credit card.
They finished off their touring with a visit at a local artist's studio but by then, little B had grown weary of the craft shops. He asked if they could head home and so they did.
