Happy Canada Day

Yay for long weekends.  Yay for the three Rs - relaxing, reading, and red!

RELAXING by sleeping in and putting your feet up and only doing essentials.

READING magazines and starting on the summer pile of books.

RED (and white) like in the flags that are waving around everywhere and in the yummy fresh-from-the-field strawberries.

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian readers and for the rest of you, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  What do you have planned for the weekend?

Canada Day Mosaic

There were eight of us at the cottage including my parents and Christie.  It was a lovely sunny few days.  I don't know when we got so patriotic, but there was a lot of red and white happening on Canada Day.  We had a barbeque and a strawberry shortcake and there were fireworks at other cottages on the lake.

 Good times!

From Sea to Shining Sea

Over the years I have traveled across Canada many times.  
To celebrate Canada Day I am posting a favourite photo of mine from each of the provinces (with apologies to the Maritime provinces, as I have not been there recently enough to have digital photos, so I had to use photos of photos).
