Happy Birthday Canada!
You are 143 years old today. Thank you for being a safe home for our family.
I'm sorry we are not the patriotic type that will be running around the city in red shirts with our faces painted. We're just not like that.
We do like the fireworks, though I'll be sitting them out this year. The kids are too little to be up so late, so I'll stay home while Husband takes his mother to see them on the boat - or so he hopes. I'm worried that he'll capsize the boat and sink to the bottom of the Gorge in the pitch black of the night. I'm worried that he might get in trouble for being in the harbour, which is so stupidly ridiculous I would never even say it out loud. I don't know if it will rain. I think the rain is done for the day, but you never know. We do live on the coast!
I know that there are many years of fireworks ahead of us, so I don't mind sitting this one out. Hopefully I'll be able to see some of them from the sunroom window. We did last year. Besides, I can continue my love affair with Wii while my husband is away.
