Crandell,
Wishing you a VERY happy and thankful Thanksgiving to you and your family this day! I’ve enjoyed the exchange, camaraderie, and - yes, even ribbing - we’ve had together on the forum this year. [:)] Keep up the good work on that layout of yours, my friend.
Tom
well said Tom, Happy Model Railroading selector!!! TK
Ditto from me too Crandell.
Cheers for all your help.
Ken.
I hate to burst your bubble guys, and this should in no way dimini***he sentiment expressed here, but if I’m not mistaken, Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on a different day. The last Thursday of November is uniquely American.[;)]
Correct on the dates, However Canadians and UK do have a July 4th.
…AND Veterans Day. (Although they call it “Rememberance Day”)…
Tom
Gosh…[:I][^][:)] !! Thank-you very much for your good wishes, Tom, Ken, and TrainFreek. A most Happy Thanksgiving to you!!
I am in Vancouver visiting my youngest brother for the weekend, and have signed on just minutes ago for the first time since Wednesay. Good thing I persisted and went back five pages to find your most generous and warm message.
My welcome here is due in no small part to all members here, but I really have enjoyed exchanging info and a few well-timed digs with you folks. I look forward to many more Thanksgiving holiday greetings, whether “ours” or “yours”.
Thanks again for this nice gesture. It has really made my day.

Forgive me for sounding ignorant, but why would Canada and the UK have a July 4th celebration? Seems like they would be celebrating the LOSS of their American colony.
Or did you mean that Canada and the UK have an independence day LIKE our July 4th, only on a different date? Then it makes sense to me. Sort of like France celebrating their “July 4th” on July 14th ( Bastille Day).
Or did you mean that Canada and the UK have a July 4th, just like the rest of the world that uses the same CALENDAR? Is joke, no? LOL
Or am I being obtuse?
Guess I’ll just go back to being
Darrell, quiet…for now
We Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October (the same day as Columbus Day in the US). A far more civilised time of the year since the weather is far more appropriate for travel than late November. [swg]
In Canada, July 4 is just like any other day of the year — nothing special. July 1, on the other hand, is special. It is Canada Day, the anniversary of Confederation, the birth of our Dominion in 1867.
November 11 is Rememberance Day (formerly Armistace Day) — the day we remember the sacrifices made by our veterans. It was originally celebrated to mark the armistace ending the First World War.
