Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

One of our guys is Canadian and he wanted to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving. So we scheduled an open house and he enlisted several girls to help him cook and he planed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with turkey (legs since he couldn't find a whole turkey), sweet potatoes, mixed vegetables followed by apple pie and ice cream. It was great. I'm sure it was a lot of work but he did such a good job. I reimbursed him for the cost out of the group money which I'm sure helped him out, but he sure didn't expect it. To seat everyone, their flat had to borrow tables and chairs from several other flats, and there was a collection of dishes and silver ware to feed everyone. It was a very nice evening!

Ian spent most of the day on his school work. We took one quick break and went to the Baden Powell House, the Scouting activity center here in central London. They had a little museum all about Lord Baden Powell, the creator of the Scouting movement. It started here in England 100 years ago this year. Tomorrow we are heading down to Brownsea Island, where he had his first camp out in 1907. We missed all the big events, but it will be fun to take our little Cub Scout to where it all began. We are also going to hunt for fossils on the coast. They call it the Jurassic Coast so Keri hopes to find something. I hope they will be successful. I will get pictures and keep you all posted. However, it may not be for several days.

We have just discovered that Robbie and Mona are not going to be able to come visit us in London. We are so disappointed! Robbie has an art show in Little Rock on December 8 and has to spend every minute painting. We certainly understand. We are going to visit them in December before they head back to the States so will will at least get some time with them. That will have to do.
