Thanksgiving in October

October 9th is Canadian Thanksgiving. Two of the teachers at our school are Canadian and invited the rest of us to eat with them.
Everyone brought a little food, so there was plenty for all. We even took some home with us. The meal was similar to American Thanksgiving. However, we cannot get turkey here, so we had chicken instead. We also had southern-style green beans (with ham), mashed potatoes with gravy, dinner rolls. For dessert we enjoyed chocolate pie and Nanaimo bars. Delicious!
After dinner, the Canadians sang their national anthem for us. I've never heard it sung before - only played. They sang a fine duet.

Thank you, ladies, for the meal.
