I Didn’t Know That!

Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined.

Canada is an Indian word meaning ' Big Village '.

I Think I Can, I Think I can……

My poor Ms Mitz is so determined to get her baby, (one of her stuffed toys), but is so very wary of the moving swing.  She just about jumps up anywhere but she hasn’t had the courage for anything moving since jumping into a rocking chair when she was a puppy.

Mitz

I know she is going to figure it sooner or later and then we will have to find a new spot to keep her attention occupied  !

Ashton Rest In Peace

A Facebook memorial site has been set up for Ashton as a common gathering place for those who wish to share their memories, stories, pictures of Ashton or simply just to offer a few kind words of support to her family and friends may do so here.

You Have To Ask Why.....???

You really can't make this stuff up,  but it has to make you wonder "What the .....!!"!

Happy CANADA Day To All!!

Queen Elizabeth always receives a warm welcome when she visits Canada though there are those who feel the monarchy no longer has a relevancy.  She looked radiant as ever as she visited Ottawa today not only to inspect the Guard of Honour at Parliament Hill but also to attend Canada Day festivities.
I remember my excitement well when I had an opportunity to see her up close and personal here and at Buckingham Palace several years a ago. She looked remarkable then and still does today at 84.  One has to marvel at her stamina; she never seems to tire  even though her  appearance itinerary is jam packed. Wish I had made a greater effort to see her this time – you never know when it could be her last visit overseas. For me, it will be a sad moment when her reign is no more.
