Wow yesterday was a great day for Canada with 4 medals, Gold and Silver in the Women's Bobsleigh, always want to call it Bobsled for some strange reason. Clara Hughes gained a Bronze for the 5000m speed skating race and we scored a Silver in the 3000m speed skaters relay. Good news!! We now have 7 Gold medals like the USA and Germany but not the same number of total medals. We also won the hockey game against the Russians who like Elvis have left the building/country.
Red Mittens on Inukshuk, they are on every statue, I am just collecting stories.
There is a woman from Winnipeg who looks a lot like Shaun White and is being tagged for photo ops and free drinks, she says she would like to meet Shaun. Who wouldn't, he is my hero even though he isn't Canadian.
Norway's King Harald V arrived at the bonspiel rink to watch his countrymen beat out Great Britain 9 t0 5. That only means that the team will progress to another never ending qualifying game in curling sigh ! Did you know that a curling rock is made of 100% Scottish granite and weighs 40 pounds. I didn't either..
Wveryone knows that you need to watch your wallet when you are in such great crowds as are at these games and in the town. One person's wallet was gracefully taken from his pocket, the money and cards removed and the wallet returned to the man's pocket by a very clever thief. Fortunately he discovered the theft early and was able to cancel his cards. Now what will he do with no money and no credit cards. Poor guy!! Hope his wife had hers :>))
I like this one, the visiting Swedes came to Ikea for some home cooking and left without buying anything. But they ate what their stomachs wanted :>))
We are watching the women's Team USA playing hockey against Team Canada. These women's games are really fast and good to watch. Try it some time.
It is too early to say good night so I'll say good evening :>)
