    What a wonderful country Canada looks - it must have been a great place to have grown up in.

    I love that you love my country - and I'm wondering if the Cranston you picture might be Creston or Cranbrook - both of which are well known to me and studded with family.

    Great collage, I recognised some of those names from our RV trip many years ago.
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by.

    Beautiful photos. My sister has lived on Vancouver Island most of her adult life, so I have visited her several times. It is a gorgeous place to live and visit. What part of Canada did you grow up in?

    Your childhood pictures are priceless! Looks like 3 girls, right? Love your matching outfits. I was in the car the other day when they said it was Canada's birthday. I started singing, "Oh, Canada, oh, Canada." That's all I could remember. I had neighbors across the street from me that were Canadians. We would invite them to our 4th of July party and they would sing us their Canada song. I really enjoyed it. Happy Birthday Canada! Thanks so much for your concern for our son-in-law.

    Beautiful mosaic. Such a lovely tribute to Canada. We're home and digging out from beach sand and dirty laundry. I'm having fun catching up on all my favorite blogs.
