Today is Canadian Thanksgiving, though my family had its main celebration on Sunday night. Thinking of Christmas cards and letters, I took a number of pictures. My sister helped as well. I thought I'd share some of the best blackmail photos here.






Picture of my mom and I preparing the turkey. Every year, my
sister chronicles this event. Most of her photos are of our
backsides or my arm down the turkey. You know how it is.

Barnaby (aka "The Prince of Darkness")




Try sharing a bed with him and you'll understand... *g*




Oakley doesn't like me and usually runs when he sees me.
I had to wait until he was high on catnip and locked in
my brother's arms before I could get a decent picture of him.




My mom was almost as much of a challenge.
I had to wait until she fell asleep.




My brother decided to start celebrating Halloween early




On Saturday afternoon, my sister gave me a tour of the NEW neighbourhood library. At first, I thought she was kidding when she said there was a library just down the street. Then my mom explained that the library is essentially a box, and people are free to borrow any books they'd like. The organization behind it is called the Little Free Library. It began in the States and has spread worldwide. I absolutely love the idea, which is why I asked my sister to take a picture of the library when she and my brother dragged Danna to see it.

At a time when our government is intent on closing many free municipal libraries, your mini-free neighbourhood one looks like a lovely idea. *wonders if it might catch-on in UK*

LOVE the cat'n'family shots; and I hope your Thanksgiving meal was delicious.

From what I can tell by the website, I think you can start a Little Free Library anywhere in the world as long as you're not breaking any kind of zoning laws and have someone to build it. I tried looking on the website (http://littlefreelibrary.org/) to see if there were any Little Free Libraries in Britain, but I could only find a map of North America. I know the organization is estimating that there will be Little Free Libraries in 55 countries by the end of 2013, so I'd be surprised if there aren't any in the UK. :-)

Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] grondfic! I'm happy you like the cat'n'family shots! :-D The Thanksgiving meal was delicious -- as always!
