The Mark of Canada

I went on a journey that took me over miles of the northern part of our great country. Then after a few fierce questions from a stern faced border guard I was across the bolder in another land. Perhaps it didn't look any different at first then my homeland, but the culture would leave a bigger imprint on my life then I ever could have imagined. Not a day goes by where Canada doesn't drift across my brain. Sweeping my mind back to a time that was quite all bliss, but very extraordinary just the same. I think it was the team too that left a mark upon my life never to be removed. Let me tell you why.

Every other sentence has to have the word "eh" in it and when I'm not saying "eh" I'm thinking it. I must confess that I desperately try to talk in a Northern accent, but it just won't come out. Instead I find myself talking as if I wondered over from England and lost my way back home. Ahem.

I chop up salad and remember chopping up salad so many times for our meals while in Canada. We were a bit over ambitious in the vegetable shopping and so the veggies were plentiful at each meal. Interestingly enough the chocolate chip cookies ran out before the veggies did.

Whenever I crave a spot of tea I remember late night tea parties and how we managed to solve the worlds problems while sipping tea out of disgraceful paper cups. Well maybe we just solved a few of the world's problems or maybe more our own personal pet peeves about certain situations. Cough. Cough.

Carrots. You simply would not believe how amusing carrots can be. How they ever made you dissolve into gales of laughter? Have you only stopped laughing because your sides hurt? Really I'm being honest carrots are simply the most hilarious things ever. Yes, I did come back in my right mind from Canada.

Libraries are great place for parties you know and the more rumbustious and annoying you are the better.  Whoever said libraries were only for quietness, so you could whisper sweet nothings was quite wrong.

There are so many more moments of amusement we enjoyed on our trip, but I'm afraid if I shared them all on here, I really would appear to have lost my mind in its entirety. I think I would bore you to tears if I went on a long exposition about re fried beans and Black Widows.  Let's just say we had a good time, a very good time.
