Thank you Theresa!! and I hope your holiday weather is cooler than ours!!! The closest I have gotten to Canada was through EPCOT lol and I love the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I hope to one day see them in person.

While I am so glad we have reason to celebrate our Independence, the heat and humidity makes it my least celebrated holiday! We run outside to put up flags - and run back inside.

When my children were smaller I would fight the traffic to take them so see fireworks - sometimes getting home after midnight and getting up early the next day for work.

Now it is a peaceful, home in the AC celebration lol!

Happy Canada Day; However, I think my Aloe FAQ was pooched
Q
Comments (8)
Dear Tamara, It was false pride displayed and false slight was felt - it just gives some bad information in it (the use of sand), which strikes me as strange as having that information 10 years back, when we Aloe aficionados knew even then of its deleterious effects as a recommended ingredient for a generic Aloe soil mix, one that had to be simple to acquire the parts for and make. Whether you know that I wrote most of it, or don't, is of little matter. I'm happy to update it, but it's got some information wrong that would likely be deleterious to Aloe growing. I approve the adds of the bells and whistles (you got to put the butts in the seats), but the sand suggestion leads me to believe that we Aloe were folk not involved. I could, of course, not be remembering correctly and have written the blasphemous words myself. I of course, as contributor to the first Aloe FAQ, feel a nurturing sense to correct and polish our current version so that it's unequivocal, as written and used, that even an Aloe at the precipice of death can likely be brought back, provided you use a sandless recipe that the community is happy to provide IVillage again, in an effort to make the Aloe FAQ is usable to one and all, particularly those with Aloe vera (the real one, but mainly the non-real ones).

Thank you! I hope the weather is better elsewhere in this vast country, than it is here. Today it is cool and raining. And Mary's husband wanted to go to the beach. Not so far from here so I doubt it was beach weather for them. We have had rain almost every day for what seems like ages. At Sat. night's church service, the youth choir sang as a closing hymn "Rain Down". So we will blame today on them. Hope it warms up for the 4th for y'all. Theresa

We're having a rainy dreary day and still trying to decide what to do. We have fireworks and smores that were planned for tonight but I think it will be a task for this weekend. We might be staying in this Canada day. It's a day of mixed feelings since my grandfather died 5 years ago today. It's still a celebratory day though, but he's always in my thoughts. I think he just wanted to go out with a bang. ;)

Best wishes to all of you fellow Canadians on this our hundred and fifty second birthday. As I was sitting here doing some brain activity while feeding my body with lunch ... ... it occurred to me that my grandmother (Dad's side) was born in '62 - so she was five when our nation was born! I think grandpa a couple of years older ... and Mom, being a couple of years younger than Dad, her parents of similar vintage: likely all four under 10 in 1867. Thanks to you neighbours for your good wishes on our birthday. olr joyfuelled

Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian forum members. Yours is a beautiful country. We visited Banff several years ago, and it was spectacular. We visited friends in Nakusp, BC, too. What a lovely spot. And I've been fishing up at Reindeer Lake. It's a pleasure sharing a border with you. Lois from Minnesota

Being an American citizen and a landed immigrant in Canada I enjoy celebrating both holidays! Here in Ontario, we are also experiencing a heatwave but it nicer today with lower humidity. We usually go to the fireworks display but our daughter is not home this summer and our son always went but never really enjoyed it so DH and I are trying to decide if we will even go this year. He has the week off and I don't have to work until 10am so the time isn't really a deciding factor. I think I would just like to watch the televised version from Ottawa! Happy Canada and Independence Days!!
