Happy Birthday Canada

I just wanted to wish you a very happy Canada day...even if you are not Canadian it is always fun to celebrate a birthday even if it is not yours! :-)

It is also a special day around here. 10 years ago today we arrived in Southern California from Canada to our first home...an apartment in a complex everyone called the birdhouses because of the large round windows that looked like bird doors on bird houses.

We left Canada 3 weeks to the day after our wedding, our honeymoon was a slow drive down here after a long weekend at a cottage immediately following our wedding. And in that time the Lord has truly cared for us in a sun scorched land.

And because we will be starting a nice 4 day weekend tonight, Happy 4th of July to my American readers! Yes, we do celebrate both...we also celebrate both thanksgivings.
