LaVivre's Journal

Canada Day today. Quiet in town today, save for a few fireworks after dark in some of the neighbors yards.  That is what we enjoy a great deal in this town when it occurs, the quiet, no ATV's or racing cars drag racing down main street, no drunks blasting stereos or screaming loudly for hours over the blasting stereos throwing empty beer bottles around.  Just quiet.  The kind of quiet where you can hear the leaves on the trees rustle and the birds singing.  That is the luxury we enjoy when we can. 

Hubby had some yard work to do today after yesterday's storm.  It tore up some of the trees and he had some clearing to do.  It rained pretty hard here yesterday,the kind of rain that can cause flash flooding, but fortunately for us we only had a little water from one basement window to clean up.  The rain came down so fast it flooded the yard and public sidewalk and street.  I figured for certain we were going to find more water in the basement but thank God we didn't. 

We kept to home today, tending to chores and preparing for another work day tomorrow.  Hubby had phone calls all day today, even tho it was a day off for him, to sort things out as the transition will take awhile to settle in. But that is okay, he has a job, and we are allright for now.  We know we won the birth lottery being born here in Canada.  We both agree that things could be a lot worse for us were we to be living in any number of countries who have far more struggles than we will ever know in two life times.

Thank you God for our country of Canada and all of our blessings, rights and freedoms that we so easily take for granted.
