It was all so new to us.

I'm in public service and Ali in education so we both get the holiday. We are fortunate like that.<br /><br />Kimberlee, I know it varies from place to place, and maybe the States is different from Canada, but here Remembrance Day is always the 11th, and either that or the next business day is a holiday.<br /><br />Alex, that was indeed cool. I love that people here are so laid back and friendly like that.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-22694202014147882622012-11-13T15:31:13.409-08:002012-11-13T15:31:13.409-08:00Very cool your kids got to see the bridge.

We slubs don't get to rest and honor the Vets.<br /><br />And I've never been to Canada, but I've heard of Tim Hortons. I must say I'm intrigued by rumors of their donuts. Mmmmmm!<br /><br />You have such a beautiful family, Ian. You're very blessed.
