Happy Canada Day!

 

Good morning on this hot, muggy , buggy , overcast day!--Lopez and I (and Sushi) are up and at-er here!  Lopez has already been out AND HE DID HIS BUSINESS!---It is garbage day here--but--It is CANADA DAY ALSO--  A HOLIDAY TO CELEBRATE CANADA---probably most business are closed--with many celebrations on Parliament Hill to-day.--  Canada is 158 yrs old--

I found out yesterday that Himself and I were married 58 years ----It certainly did not seem that long-- In fact, it wasn't long enough!--- We used to always go to the end of Elliot Lake, along the highway  there, and watch the fireworks-- I remember the black flies trying to get into our vehicle---  and I also remember how frightened the German Shepherds were with all the noise of the fireworks-I had a "thunder shirt" which I used to wrap some of them in--- The shirt was supposed to calm the dog, but it really did not--always so many memories as we age, aren't there?--

   

 Speaking of memories, I found a picture of Himself--taken before I even knew him--thought it would be good to show you how he appeared before we had 1005 children ---(well really not that many!)--

                                                                    -pretty spiffy eh??

I am packing some boxes-- things I will not need right now---  but--the problem is, the more boxes I do pack and tape shut, the less room there is in this apartment.--- Only 3 weeks and I shall be out of here---

Here are a few pictures-- "blasting in  from the past"

Grandchildren--all in University now--

Is your day going well, so far??

Don't forget to wear some clothing when you go out---

-and be strong--

It is Sunday, it is Canada Day-and a day to feel strong--- 

and---enjoy this day! It will never come again!
