Canada Day

9 years ago

While the majority of you are preparing for your 4th of July holiday, we Canadians are celebrating today !!

I love 4th of July and I was in Florida last year to enjoy it.

This year I am in Calgary and I'm happy that we'll have a food truck lineup close to where I live and also I have DD and her family visiting !!

Happy July 1st to our Canadian forum friends !!!

Happy Canada Day!

I am in Canada celebrating with friends.

Calgary is one of my favorite cities, in the summer. :-)

One time I ran into your former Mayor Al Duerr, had a nice chat. His daughter is a beautiful lady, A+ student in electrical engineering, and has done some modeling in NYC.

Happy 4th of July to all who observe it. Our neighbor will be hosting his annual fireworks get-together tonight. It's amazing what a beautiful show he puts on only using the legal varieties for our state while blaring out patriotic music. We'll be gathering there about 8 P.M. with everyone bringing some food or drink to share. He has a rule of no plates or utensils - true finger food only. My contribution will be what our family calls Tropical Cupcakes - pineapple in the batter, Sailor Jerry spiced rum flavoring the frosting, and toasted coconuts and macadamia nuts on top. In our non air conditioned kitchen, summer baking is done first thing in the morning so they are already packed up and ready to go.

Sounds like you're going to have a lot of fun! I haven't had s'mores in such a long time. I'll have to suggest them to my sister. Everyone is going to sis and brother-in-law's house tomorrow for swimming, barbeque, and watching fireworks. We'll come home before dark, though, because our kitty freaks out at the fireworks noise.

While it was an accident of birth that made us Canadian rather than a citizen/resident of some other country ... we are thankful for our good fortune. We are thankful for our freedom to build our lives as we feel appropriate, without the need to watch our mouth, our step and our choice of friends lest we make some dictator and his cohorts unhappy. Many of us have a measure of respect and affection for our fellow citizens and the communities we share and feel it important to nurture them and leave them better for our children. Also to work with the people of other nations to work toward a world community where we can build increasing respect and trust. Maybe the corona virus showing us that we are all in the same boat may help us to be more willing to work together. Let us, as we celebrate alone, be thankful for our good fortune and rededicate ourselves to building a country of which we can be thankfully proud, folks. Some of us feel that, in today's world, democracy is at risk and feel that we should work toward strengthening it ... and our freedom, as well. Good wishes for having a great year ahead, fellow Canadians. And similar good wishes for you, our valued neighbours to our south, as you celebrate your country and its people in a few days. ole joyfuelled

Happy Canada Day to you all!

We've sent you our sunshine as a present, though I don't know if it's enough for the whole country. I hope all your parades and festivities are sunny and fair.

Happy Canada Day to everyone! Vancouver is one of my favorite cities if not my very top favorite. I always felt exhilarated when I was there and wanted to move there when I got out of design school, but I didn't know how to go about immigration proceedings.

I hope everyone has a great celebration and is enjoying the long days.
