Happy belated Canada Day to all my friends & family a few miles to my West! I hope my American friends & family all have a SAFE & relaxing Fourth of July holiday! :) Last year I literally spent the entire holiday in a hospital bed, preparing for emergency surgery, so I'm just happy to be home this year with nothing but a few DVDs from the library, some Lean Cuisine & my kitty, who is not a fan of the big booms outside lol. So be safe, watch out for each other, thank a service man or woman for your freedom & have a blast celebrating this crazy, complicated, imperfect, frustrating, independent & amazing country that, at the end of the day, we're all VERY lucky to live in! :)
