Post Canada Day---and Norma Bates

I must say that I enjoyed my first Canada Day as a Canadian citizen. You can check out my Canada Day parade experience at:  http://notesfromnd.blogspot.ca/2014/07/canada-day.html

Does anyone else really like the clothes that Norma Bates is wearing on the series Bates Motel?

Happy Canada Day

Hope you have a happy Canada Day. We are off to the festivities in Silverton.

Happy Canada Day

Here's hoping everyone has a safe, fun Canada Day weekend. Bruce and I will probably watch the fireworks at the beach. I'm hoping I won't need the PARKA I needed to wear last year!

I'm the guest artist at Black Star Studio Gallery this Saturday. Drop by and say hi!

Happy Canada Day and Fourth of July!!!

Good Grandpa and grandkids

I am so happy to see the Canadians finally getting into the spirit of things. I used to complain because they weren't patriotic, never flew the flag, never sang the anthem but I'm here to tell you that times have changed! I know they like to stay low-key but I was thrilled to see all the red and white and spirit at the Invermere Canada Day parade.

Whenever I think I may be pushing the edge with my outfits there is always Rolf the woodcarver to show me how to really get eccentric.

This little girl is so cute she may become a painting.

My tricked out for Canada Day summer hat. We went down to the beach June 30th to watch the fireworks at dusk (11 pm) and nearly froze our tails off in the stiff breeze. Smart people were wearing their parkas!!

Happy Canada Day!

Greetings from Ft. Steele. What a beautiful day...lots of people. Notice my blouse fabric please.(it's printed with Maple leaves.)
