Canada Day

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Especially To Our
Dear Canadian Friends!

July 1, 1867. 
Three colonies became the 
Dominion of Canada, 
and the world became 
a better one. 
Every American should 
appreciate the giant country 
that spans the North American 
continent from the Atlantic to 
the Pacific and from the Rocky 
Mountains to the Arctic. 
She is the world's oldest 
bilingual, pluralistic, 
parliamentary democracy and 
a force for human dignity, 
rights and liberty 
around the world. 
      Steve Schmidt


God Bless 
The Canadian People!

Bonne fête du Canada!




There’s calm in the 
mind of the humble. 
An unmistakable peace 
of not having to prove 
anything to anyone.
   Ron Baratono


Oh Magic 8-Ball,
round and wise, With cryptic gaze
and inky eyes, I shake you up—
my fate to see, You answer:
“Ask again, maybe.”




Do not think I've reached
where I am now by slipping
like a landslide or evaporating
like a cloud. Suman PokhrelI  *

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

Great post, Cloudia. Happy Canada Day! I saw that the group was Washboard Union, so I was expecting that they played a washboard. I was disappointed that there weren't any washboards, but their harmonies were beautiful. Pixie's curious look made me think that she is trying to use her x-ray vision to find their washboard abs...

Thank you for this, Cloudia! We are hurting as much as you are. The impact is awful for so many. Such injustice. We have to remember there are good people in the world, like you!

What a wonderful and heartfelt Canada Day post. It's so true, Canada really is an incredible country, and that quote from Steve Schmidt sums it up beautifully. "A force for human dignity, rights and liberty around the world" – absolutely. And coming from Honolulu, that "Aloha" greeting just makes it extra special.
