Canada Day 2011 includes...

I have family visiting

for the long weekend this weekend

and so I found out via my cousin

that Prince William and his Bride Kate

are coming to Ottawa

for Canada Day.

Two thoughts about this:

1. It is kind of cool, royalty and all

2. Did I mention that I live downtown Ottawa?

The crowds, my friends, the crowds.

Cleo thinks I should be focused on the important things

of life,

like the fact that she is a princess and is waiting for her milk.

Happy Canada Day

The Queen will be here in Ottawa tomorrow.

Though I like the Queen,

I really don't like crowds.

So I will be happy that she is here,

but I will stay home with Cleo and study.

A dear friend learned of an illness of a family member.

This is always hard.

*

I am studying French but have to keep working at it.

Need much mercy from God.

*

I may have the test in just over two weeks.

*

Wishing everyone in North America either a

happy and safe Canada day

or a happy and safe 4th.

*

Christ is in our midst!

Sundays...the best days...

I have various social events after

Thursday's interview...

Many more flower pictures to put here!

This picture was on a walk

with some of my really good friends...

Fountains in a small park by City Hall...

This week is going to be about...

*French test studying

*Cooking and Eating more vegetables (kinda failed at that today)

*Social times

(I have to be sure to balance myself as if I have too many days with

little interaction, I don't do as well).

*A, I hope it works as planned, trip to the Greek monastery this

Friday

*

I am really going to have to plan carefully to be doing as much French

studying as possible...

It is not easy for me to do,

so I will really have to work on being disciplined about it...

This week Thursday (the 1st) is Canada Day;

I hope to be picnicking with some friends

and maybe seeing fireworks from somewhere...

Tons of people come to Ottawa for Canada Day since

Ottawa is the Capital;

so seeing fireworks is not something easy to do

with all the crowds...

What do you have planned for this week?
