On Sunday we were on our way to the in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner. We usually take the 401 highway over there but I didn't want to for some reason, I just wanted to take a nice easy drive along Highway 2 through town. As we got closer to Pickering Gord's voice was singing to me - Carefree Highway! About halfway through the song I realized we were coming up to the subdivision with Lightfoot related names! We pulled in and drove around "Gordville" with Gord singing on the radio! It was so cool - I snapped a few pics of the street signs and off we went. It was like serendipity or karma! The rest of the way to the in-laws I imagined Gord getting ready to possibly go somewhere for his Thanksgiving dinner or welcoming people/family to his home and maybe in the kitchen or car he was listening to himself at the same time I was!
It was very cool! That feeling to not get on the other highway had a definate reason and I am glad I listened to it. It made me stop and give thanks for all the usual things in my life but also for Gordon Lightfoot, and in a totally unique and special way!

On Monday we were on our way to my Uncle's for Thanksgiving dinner and Gord was singing SPIN SPIN SPIN!
I have never heard that on the radio up here!
