Canada Day 2010

The time is just flying by and on 1 July we celebrated our second Canada Day since our arrival. Again it was spent with our lovely friends and this year it was our opportunity to have our friends at our place for the event. In the spirit of the day Murphy dressed for the occasion as you can see from her neck scarf. She was so anxious to get the party started she only had eyes for the door and was so excited to see everyone arrive.




Fortunately it was a sunny day so we enjoyed our time together sitting in the sun room. Looking from the left of the photo below is Doug and Cathy Pyne, Suzanne Cooper, George and Debbie Proctor and Ross.



Bev and Murphy feature in the photo below. We decided to have a very easy lunch so we tried a new burger recipe known as Argentinean burgers with Chimichurri sauce. These burgers are served with sliced avocado, red onion and tomatoes. Yes, they were both tasty and spicy and we all enjoyed a different burger. We also had sausages and hot dogs. This was followed by a fruit platter with a cinnamon/maple dip. This is Bev's cousin Jill's recipe and was accompanied by a carrot and walnut cake.

We flew the Canadian flag from the back deck and before our friends left for their homes we took the opportunity to capture a moment in the day. As you will see from the following 2 photos below we are still all smiling.

Canada is now in its 143 rd year and we feel very privileged to be in this lovely country and to have such nice friends who have made us feel so welcome.

Best wishes to all and come for a visit if you get the opportunity as our time is Canada is going so quickly.

Love Bev and Ross
