"LADYBUG FEVER"

STILL WAITING FOR PROVINCIAL APPROVAL

Still waiting for provincial approval......so what better time to shop....my favoriate passtime. Well between Alanna and I, I think we've hit every childrens consignment shop between Toronto and Ottawa!!!!! Everything is sooo cute, how can I resist. Of course I'm keeping my eyes peeled for anything "LADY BUG" as anyone in the China adoption world knows ladybugs are a sign of good luck and good news usually follows shortly after spotting one......so I figured if I find ladybug clothing it's the next best thing.

50 YEARS SINCE BRIDGE REPLACED FERRY

2006 marked the 50th anniversary of the end of the ferry boat service and the construction of the interprovincial bridges linking Allumette Island Quebec and the provence of Ontario.

My grandfather, Thomas Morris started as the purser on the SS "Pontiac" and became captain in 1948 until its final voyage on October 14, 1956.

The ferry carried 13 cars and passengers and was powered by wood.

There was a memorial service today at the site of the ferry docking.

SLEEPY CANADIAN

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!

WHAT A PROUD CANADIAN!!!!!

I spent Canada Day weekend at the cottage with my sister Cathy, her friend Janet and her kids. We went to the Canada Day Parade in Sheenboro where we also met my cousin Tara and her little boy Mathieu(our very proud canadian). With the main street of Sheen being only about two blocks long I have never seen a bigger or more enthusiastic Canada Day Parade. My cousin Annemarie, her husband Jim and their son Patrick were also there. Patrick rode on one of the floats. My aunt Janet was also on one of the floats playing with the fiddlers. It was a great day.
