Your ties to Canada are obviously strong, Denise, as are mine to the U.S. (one branch of our family tree lives in Michigan and New York states, others in California). I've never actually been further west than Winnipeg or further east than Quebec City; something we hope to remedy in the near future. You sure looked like you were enjoying that pastry. ☺ Happy July 4th to you and your family.Debbie D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153118405565035071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-177359912172677492017-07-03T19:28:30.616-04:002017-07-03T19:28:30.616-04:00You have traveled a lot as I noticed on your blog....You have traveled a lot as I noticed on your blog.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-57712201586566555762017-07-03T19:27:37.253-04:002017-07-03T19:27:37.253-04:00Well, I will take a wild guess and say you did not...Well, I will take a wild guess and say you did not read Anne of Green Gables growing up.

Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, but I haven't been to either Detroit or Windsor. However, I spent many happy hours, growing up in New York City, listening to CKLW. We could get it easily at night.

Montreal was too much a mix of old and new architecture for me. Been to Nova Scotia twice now. Love that!!!
