Thanks for the wishes all. I was disappointed once again to see i was the only person in my street to be flying the Canadian flag this year. We really could do with a healthy dose of American Patriotism in Canada. People take too much for granted here in my opinion but i guess that's easy if you have not been elsewhere and seen just how lucky you are.
Bill I have celebrated 4th July on several occasions but mostly when i am down in the USA. Its not usually celebrated in Canada given we not the 51 state since 1812.
Keep telling Linda we got to go down to Pittsburgh one year for 4th July, one of the best fireworks shows i have ever seen.
