So it rained…I think quite a bit at first. I was inside all nice and dry with my Technique Class, but when Eric came in to pull the door prize tickets, he was pretty soaked. But it did clear up eventually. Someone had brought tent thingies, so at least people could get out of the rain.
There were quite a few more people this time, since we made up an "official" flyer…ha! Debbie and Steve even came back so that she could come to one more class, and so that he could play in the game, since he missed the other one. They live up by my BFF Tracy in Pennsylvania, and it was so nice to see them again before they head back home. It was Debbie's birthday too! I hope it was a good one honey!
So wanna see who won those awesome trophy's that Jeff and Jim made?
Well it's Darryl and his other brother Darryl. Actually it's my sweetie Jeff and his little brother Tim. What are the odds that they even got to play together. Every one draws a number and you get matched up this way, so it was pretty ironic that they were even partners. But anyway, they each got the trophy, and were pretty proud of themselves. They should be cause there are some great players that show up. Oh and yeah in case you can't read Jeff's t-shirt…he got it from Tracy it says:
This is not a Beer Gut, it's a protective covering for my rock hard abs. Yup! Nuff said.
So today at class, I got to meet another Canadian Demonstrator. Ruth Earle and her hubby are here in Arizona for a while and she was able to take a class.
Isn't she cute? And she even brought me Smarties and some Canadian gum, she said next time "Ketchup Chips"…gotta love her eh? I love meeting other Demonstrators, and if they are Canadian that is all the better, cause then I feel a little bit closer to home.
In fact, check this out…
This was pretty interesting. I need to look up that one thing he said. Does California have more people living in it then the whole Country of Canada? Can that be right?
Well one of the reasons I love America, is my MAMMa, and look what she made me (and all the other peeps that went to her house before Leadership).
Isn't that cool? I might have to make one in an upcoming class. I updated my classes last night.
Well I better get off here, I have my last Technique Class in the morning, then I gotta put some new batteries in my camera so I can tape my tute…ha!
Have a blessed Sunday, and thanks so much for stopping in.
If you would like to place a Stampin' Up! order, my online store is open 24/7 ~ Thank You So Much!
I really enjoyed that little Canadian snippet, and was really moved to see all those Canadians sheltering and feeding those Americans who were diverted after 9-11. I just don't think that I will ever get Ketchup chips. Maybe another trip to Vancouver is in order.

Thanks for the Canadian video…..wow there were things I never knew about Canada and I so want to visit now….Can you tell me where I should start (well I mean we, my husband and I)….
TFS this, love it!
Diana
I just have to say this clip brought tears to my eyes…I did not know that Canada took in all those Americans after Sept 11th! What a gracious thing to do….KUDOS TO CANADA. I have a better sense of what you guys are all about…! I too would be curious to know about CA having more people than all of Canada so please let us know what you find out..
Di, thanks for this great video! Go Canada! Now, I appreciate my neighbors even more.
The province I live in has about the same square miles as Texas and we just passed one million residents, so yah, there are more people in California than all of Canada. We are kind and curious folk.
{I love your blog, thanks for sharing your ideas with us}
WOW! Thanks for sharing that beautiful clip on Canada, it was truly beautiful. FYI, I think I'm going to share that video on my blog (if you don't mind).
Yup, believe it or not California has MORE people in their state than Canada has as a whole (approx. 34 million).
I live in St.John's, Newfoundland, the most easterly place in North America. And, on Sept 11, 2001, 39 planes (approx. 6,600 travellers) ere diverted to our central airport in Gander (pop. approx. 9500). Travellers stayed at schools, churches, in peoples homes (in and outside of Gander). So, ya…so sad, but Canadian's opened their homes to stranded 9/11 passengers.
Oh, and Terry…you should start your Canadian trip here in Newfoundland…you'll be glad you did (even though I'm a little biased!!!).
Thanks, again!

Hi Diana, I had so much fun at your class last Saturday! Meeting you and Mama was wonderful – that's the great thing about stamping and the internet; we may never have met in person, but I would still have considered you a friend. Now you have no choice – we are friends!!! Thanks for a fun day and if I'm by this way again, I'll definitely bring you those Ketchup Chips. Personally I'd rather eat raw meat, but whatever makes you happy! Love ya.
