Happy Canada Day-ish!

 Today is Canada day.. so to all my fellow Canadians, have a Happy Canada Day! This morning I heard on the radio, "it's a very covid-19 Canada Day". Unfortunately everything except for the actual day itself  has been cancelled. We are supposed to celebrate it virtually, ummm no thank you. The response to the virus is just one more reason I thank my lucky stars that I live in this country! It's my "Canadian privilege", life in general is better here and I always say that I won the birth lottery by being born here!


 Wait! Stop the parade! Stop the parade! Everyone back inside and get on your computers! Well... or you could have a small BBQ.


 Last night I was invited to a picnic with neighbours. A group of us sat outside, ate, had a few drinks and relaxed. It was a last minute thing and sometimes those are the best. I don't really have any plans for today but I'm ready to go with the flow.

Happy Canada Day! It's cool and rainy here today, so it would be miserable to attend outdoor events anyway.

Happy Cana-dian day, Steve-o!
And it's cool you got to get together with neighbors. One of my girls was in a Netflix movie outdoors with one of her friends. I passed. Not ready yet.

XOXO

We're having Social Distant 4th of July at our house on Saturday with a few, FEW, friends. We'll still celebrate but do it responsibly!

Happy Canada Day!

You have a very nice flag! All we have are stars and stripes.

Happy Canada Day! I remember the first time I heard about this day. It was at the Works’s Fair in Knoxville Tennessee. We happened to be ther that day and visited the Canada Pavilion. They gave out little Canadian flag pins.

I’m glad you had a nice picnic with the neighbors. Kind of low key. Unlike our idiot who is planning a huge shindig for Independence Day. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Debra, hope you had a good day. It was sunny and really really really hot here. I cut my brown lawn so that the dead grass and green weeds were an even height. Lol

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Leanna, thank you and don't worry, I know you're a "normal" American. Lol

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Richard, thank you buddy!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Christina, thank you and yes I'm doing much better. I have to stay on top of things, I have to make sure I eat well and get to bed around ten. If I do that, things run smoothly... so far.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Sixpence... girls? Do you have children?

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Deedles, happyish is a good description.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Bob, yes a lot of people are doing that here as well. Except for the younger people.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Dave, well at least your flag is nicer than that other one they want to fly, especially in the south.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

HuntleyBiGuy, yes low key but that's pretty much my speed now. Lol.

Michael said...

Happy Canada Day (belated) from an American who wishes he could flee to Canada!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

You could come live with me! :D

Michael McEwen said...

unfortunately, the border is closed. You Canadians are smart keeping us out.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Yes, I see where Alabama is having covid-19 parties to speed up getting through the pandemic. Expect the bridges to remain closed.

Hahahahahahahahaha...breathe...hahahahahaha 🤣😂

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Oh. Steven, bae.
Nope, no chirrun for me. I’m not mature enough. I’d Piaget the hell out of them, too.
I was talking about one of the women who rule my life. I think I’ve posted about them somewhere....


XoXo
