Thanksgiving in the United States and Canada.. are a month apart.  For us here in Cananda.. it isn’t such a big deal but for some folks in United States like my girlfriend, Lara.. it was so important that she flew back from Asia to US to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family.  Now that she is permanently in United States, I try my best to remember to send some personalized gifts to her and her wonderful family on this special day.

I remember the feast they use to have .. during Thanksgiving… and I told myself.. i can never cook this much food within a day or two.  They had so many people come by the house.. it was awesome.  Not only family but friends and neighbours too.

We’ve been invited to a birthday party today.. and it’s held in a bowling alley. But knowing kids.. they probably play alot . . and run around without even looking back at us.  I wonder if i can bring my laptop computer , so that i can get some work done,   but i don’t want to appear rude.. so what is the party etiquette.. for children’s party..?

I was invited to a baby shower at a lawyer’s house one time.. and as soon as we went into his house.. and saw waiters and waitress with trays of food and drinks.. i knew we didn’t spend enough for the baby’s present.  I bet they had catered the food from a hotel.. and you know what.. i saw baby furniture as baby’s gift at the corner of the garden. Boy..!! some people are generous..!
