Happy Canada Day!

It was a Classy Wednesday on Canada Day, and you know what that means: red shirt with a white tie! I suppose I could have worn a white shirt with a red tie, but I wear white shirts quite often. Anyway, it was fun to wear Canada colors, share Canadian candy with friends, and sing all the words I know from the Canadian national anthem: "Oh Canada, the land I call my home..." That's actually all I know off the top of my head, but I suppose it's more than many Americans. :)

Today, as I did last year, I express my gratitude for Canada; our northern neighbor, the country that England decided to let go without conflict, where $1 and $2 coins exist, the birthplace of penicillin and Celine Dion and mounties (and probably hockey), land where (some of) my fathers died, and the country with one of the most bold and dynamic national flags:

Happy Canada Day!

P.S.--This is less significant than Canada Day, but I think it's cool that this is my 700th post in this blog. :)

    True patriot love in all thy sons command.
    With glowing hearts, we see thee rise,, the true north strong and free.
    From far and wide, oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
    God keep our land glorious and free!
    Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
    Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
