'She Shoots She Scores' for an Olympian!

One of my favourite things about having a booth at The Cobourg Waterfront Festival on Canada Day weekend
is meeting a variety of interesting Canadians.

At this year's festival, I sold my new t-shirt to a lovely woman named Jean who told me she was going to use the image in her hand-made quilt for her friend's daughter.

Well, it turns out her friend's daughter's name is Natalie Spooner, and she wore #24 when she played on the... Gold-Winning Canadian Olympic Women's Hockey team!!

Natalie loved it and thought that the hockey player looked like her.

Natalie is hoping to keep her gold streak going and is currently competing in the
Amazing Race Canada with her teammate Meaghan Mikkelson.

Go Natalie and Meaghan!

Off to Algonquin

Well, I'm excited to say that tomorrow I take off on my annual canoeing trip!

Yay!

Last year at this time we got caught in the tornado-like weather in Algonquin

and had to take refuge at The Tom Thomson memorial on Canoe Lake.

For that reason alone it was worth the agro.

Poppy wanted to go but I had to (sadly) tell her no. She'll have to make do in the city.

She'll get more than her share of treats while staring at the front door waiting... waiting...

When I get home I'll tell her all about the chipmunks!

Loons are kind of special. Nothing is better than hearing one. Especially in Algonquin.

Bears scare me. Big time. Especially after I read Bear Attacks.

Not a good idea. Don't read it. No.

I'll have more great news about what's to come in early August!

Until then...

have a wonderful summer, full of sunshine, nature, music, and...

butter tarts! (runny with raisins!)
