OT! Oh Canada, yippee!!!!!

Another BTW. Do you get Iams Minichunks dogfood in your part of Canada. Max
and Gretel wanted me to ask!!

For the past week or so the Canadian government has banned the import of all
products containing ruminants (beef, lamb, goat), pork, and chicken from the
U.S. This does include pet food (and I'm in big trouble if it ban continues
past the end of March). Hopefully it will all be over by the time you come.

Where will you be going in Newfoundland?

That wouldn't worry me a bit, Fred..............I lived in Scotland for
threee years, and like haggis!!

Gillian,
You have approx. 6 months to learn 5 different dialects of Acadian/English
or whatever - best of luck! LOL.
I'm told the menus in most restaurants are printed in some form of English
so you shouldn't starve, unless the restaurant is run by some displaced
Scot
then you are in big trouble - watching some waiter slaughtering a Haggis
with a machete always gave me the willys.(G)

How true. :-) I'm just not a seafood lover at all - only 'black sheep' in
the family when it comes to that stuff.

Noooooooo I didn't know about the Needlearts show - wonderful - I will not
miss that. Will you be coming up for that?

Sharon that reminds me of the good old days when we used to trade our
lobster sandwiches with the 'rich' kids for their peanut butter
sandwiches!
My how the times change! BTW did you know that the Canadian Needlearts
and Sewing Show was coming to Moncton July 16-18th? You can read more

it he

Well, Sheena, Ruby, and the rest of you Maritimers. I have just got
off
the
phone from reserving our trip to Canada this summer. We leave Bangor
on
June
23, and return there on Aug 6th, give or take a day. Day 16-19 will
be
in
the Halifax-Dartmouth area.. they have things planned for us, but
there
is
time on your own.............so I plan on taking you up on that
glass
of
wine. I am so excited that we have actually made the initial step!!

There were three different times for this 47 day caravan, but the
last
two
dates were booked, and there was ONE place left on the first one, so
we
grabbed it. I know there will be several cancellations, since most
RVers
aren't as young as we once were, and health and family crises come
up.
The
trip covers NB, NS, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador, all places I had
read
of, but never seen!! What a way to celebrate my 68th birthday.

Haven't heard from Pat, I do hope John is doing OK with his tests.

Sheena can bring her wine over here and we can murder some lobster
for
you.
Cheers,
ruby


Yes, poor little buggers - we shall have to show her what a nice
ritual death they can have!! Trust you are reading this Mavia ?
By the way, if you are not stopping Moncton way, then Sharon will have
to come down here, she is promising a spring trip anyway.

Sheena

We will manage something a little nicer than a pb sandwich - my little
martyr! I'll fix a lasagna ahead of time for you, how's that? Far
be it from us to force you to eat a lobbie!

There isn't too much information up yet on their website as to what is
schedualed. There are workshops with Doug Kreinik which I've hear are good.
Yes, I probably will be attending if other classes are offered.

Um!!! what kind of wine do you drink with peanut butter??? White, red,
fizzy???

Now that made me snort! LOL

Did you know that haggises have two legs which are different lengths so that
they can run up and down the mountains so the best way to catch them is in
the glens where they can't run so fast ?

Did you do the great haggis hunt or eat domesticated haggis???
The first time I ever had haggis, I was told about the great haggis
hunt. At the time I had no idea what a haggis was.

Okayyyyyyyyyy - a blind fold - and lasagna - a big lasagna - lots of red
wine - should be a lot of fun. Hey and I can't do stitching with lasagna
all over my face and fingers. G

A blind fold it will have to be since they, needlework shops, are
both up your way. LOL!

Red wine is great with peanut butter sandwiches - geesh, Ruby haven't you
tried good stuff like that? ;-)
