07.01 Canada day

Canada Day, one of Canada's most important holidays, it is celebrated on July 1st each year. It honors the day that the British colonies of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the Province of Canada became united as one country, called the Dominion of Canada.

Canada Day is very much a Family Day with outings, picnics and celebrations of the birth of the nation. Lots of flags waving, fireworks, parades, patriotic singing, and especially family picnics.

Happy 136th Birthday Canada!!!!

I am proud to sew a maple leaf on my backpack and have Canada as my homeland. This is VERY unpopular to say when you live in Quebec though. People here are more patriotic about their province than the country. I think english speaking people from this country are really proud to be Canadians though. :)

So I frogged the whole heel on dh's sock last night! UGH! It just wasn't going well. Man, I have the fact that just a simple project like a sock is taking so much time to complete. I just want it DONE!

Oh and Zoe's "belly top" swatch is telling me I need to up the size of the needles. I think I might work on that today, the yarn so soooo soooooft! :)

Have a great day and why not wear something red today, I love red! ;)
