Well it’s almost time again, time for Canadians to celebrate Thanksgiving. YAY! I love this time of the year and I’m excited to go home and eat everything in front of me 🙂 It will be bitter sweet though, as this will be the first family holiday without my beloved Omi 🙁 But I know she will be there in spirit raising a glass to all the family being together.
Now as you can read from the title, this is my 3rd installment of Vintage Photo Tuesday, Thanksgiving Edition. You can read my other posts below:
