And I grew up crossing the boarder. It's gorgeous up there.<br /><br />I did enjoy the rocous Canadian Crowd while watching curling.

It dribbles off--bluh bluh bluh duh.<br /><br />And I'm crazy about all things Canadian.Louise Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305804499876081623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-13625621295370311922010-02-20T21:59:59.627-07:002010-02-20T21:59:59.627-07:00hmmmm, no. but it always kind of chokes me up. &...hmmmm, no. but it always kind of chokes me up.
