And it seems like only yesterday that you were 100. That would be 1967, but so much more has happened since then. Expo 67 is just a happy memory. Remember those bright shiny 1967 pennies in a small glass bottle. Tres trendy back then. The geodesic dome still stands on the Isle of Montreal.
Ahh, fast forward 43 years. We have Royal visitors. They arrived yesterday. Yes! Canada is all a Twitter about Prince William and his mate the Duchess of Cambridge, Katherine. They certainly are the talk of the town (Ottawa) and of the entire nation (Canada) on this 144th Canadian Birthday.
Toronto had to settle for Katy Perry not the Royal Kate. No comparison. The latter made a fashion splash donning Canadian designer duds from the Queent Street West area of our great city, Toronto.
Class and style Mrs. Middleton-Windsor exudes them both. She's a hit with citizens and visitors alike, as is her husband, Prince William. William brought a roar of cheers when he spoke in French and then promised to improve his language skills. We don't mind. We parlez-vous our best and know there is always room to improve. We don't judge our guests. We're se polite up here in the Great White North.
Can't wait for the fireworks tonight. Always a good spectator sport for me.
The best thing about this long weekend? Getting to do it all over again on Monday for the 4th of July!
Happy Canada Day!
