Happy Canada Day!

7/1/2023

 
Today is Canada's 156th birthday!

​I thought I'd celebrate this great nation with a look at some of my favourite photos from my doll's cross-country travels. Starting on the west coast in British Columbia.

​At Pacific Rim National park..

Happy Canada Day!
The photos are wonderful and made me quite emotional about how great a country we are privileged to call home ❤️

Happy Canada Day to you too! We are privileged to call this country home.

Collecting all these photos brought back fond memories of so many great trips. But the Newfoundland ones were a bit emotional for me, since we should have been there right now, but were unable to get a reservation on the ferry. I had been planning some big adventures for Jude & Grace's family, but had to make do with a few days exploring the maritimes instead. In fact I've included three photos from their trip in this montage.

Happy Canada day! I have tried for many years to immigrate but was never able to get either my first or second husband to consider it. My great-grandmother came from Canada and through her I have generations of French Canadian ancestors. The trips I've had to Canada have been wonderful. It is a beautiful place.

Your wonderful photographs are a visual tribute to Canada. As the dolls enjoy the splendid locales you have captured, we can imagine ourselves there.

Happy Canada Day from your friends in the US!
