KELLY HAS GONE TO CANADA

A couple of weeks ago our younger daughter Kellyanne flew off to Canada for a year or two. Although she will be greatly missed, I am just so happy for her and look forward to hearing about her adventures as she explores Canada and other places. Within a week of arriving in Vancouver where she is making her base, she attended the Calgary Stampede in Alberta. She even met a cowboy named Chuck!

LYRICS:

Kelly has gone to Canada
Oh, Canada.
We wish her well
She’s in our hearts
In Canada.

Our little girl
A woman grown and flown
To Canada.

And though she’s far away from home
We’re happy for her as she roams
In Canada.

Waltz your matilda
Across the seas
To Canada.
Visit the places
You’ve dreamed about
Near Canada.

Kelly has gone to Canada
Oh, Canada.
She’s in our hearts
She goes with our love
To Canada.

The Moose, the Gargoyle and the Ogopogo

Look what arrived today from Canada to join Kelly’s menagerie. Here they are introducing themselves to her “gargoyle” which is ageing gracefully under the maple in the garden. The moose is one of a pair and the Ogopogo is a miniature interpretation of the creature from Lake Okanagan in British Columbia. The Gargoyle has been awaiting Kelly’s return for just on 2 years and he looks pleased to have company. (2010)

Wow, that Gargoyle is looking great! Lots of good patina since I last saw him! You are doing a top job looking after him Dad!
Glad to see the new members of the gang arrived safe and sound!
Love you XXXX
