Well what a busy day around Vancouver. The Olympic torch was carried across the border at the Peace Arch at Blaine Washington by an American around the American border gates and back into Canada. What a wonderful "Hands Across the Border" event this was. It warms my heart.
Holland House has sent abroad a notice that they are no longer taking resumes.it says, " We are no longer taking resumes, we have enough beer tasters". :>))
The ice is melting on the downtown open air skating rink causing it to be shut down to skaters.Huge crowds in city centre and Canadian flags are everywhere even on my little car!! I am a proud Canadian and have always been one, but this is the first time I have flown the flag. But the best story I heard today was one the was phoned in to the local radio talk show by a father in response to the question, "What does the Olympic torch mean to you"....He said that his 8 year old son was practicing his skating in the local rink when suddenly there appeared 2 burly military security guards right beside him. Of course the little guy wondered what he had done wrong . Would't we all LOL?
Then from behind the guards came an Olympic torch runner and handed the torch to the young boy saying, "Can you hold this for me,Ii have to go to the bathroom?" Can you imagine the joy of that child. He was beside himself and has a great Olympic memory for his lifetime. The kind , thoughtful gesture of the torch runner was so much in the spirit of the Olympics. Oh Canada!
