As a country we owe much to Canadian Soldiers as they invested so much to set our country free during WW 2. It makes me so grateful! My grandparents hosted two Canadian Soldiers (my mom was a little girl by that time and she considered them as two big brothers) so I will hold a special place in my heart for Canada and their veterans!<br /><br />Have a wonderful day and stay blessed!<br /><br />EstherEstherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03690998862883671493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-57469557002496064962015-12-30T21:21:08.532-04:002015-12-30T21:21:08.532-04:00Have a blessed New Year.Have a blessed New Year.Feminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759250312023961118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-1443541289492829252015-12-30T15:15:56.296-04:002015-12-30T15:15:56.296-04:00Carolyn, everything you do is so beautiful and ele...Carolyn, everything you do is so beautiful and elegant.

I am in NZ and it is hot and sunny, it has never quite felt like Christmas here (originally from UK). Most people in NZ goes away to their beach homes or camping in summer so I am enjoying a very quiet city walking my little dog along our beach.<br /><br />LeeLee Caroline - A World of Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775174736286159146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-31529398593057483692015-12-28T15:39:14.618-04:002015-12-28T15:39:14.618-04:00Perfectly lovely!
