Made a new friend today :-)
As I was taking a picture of the front of
Nola's house I heard a meow and there was this friendly cat who followed
me around for a wee while :-)
Home featured in Family Classified in 1981
So will my new assistant in town here are some
pictures of the front view of Nola's home and their old barn at the back
of the property
And the back porch is a great place to read
the paper
And a great place to get a sun tan
And the above four pictures are of the home of
just one of the family
And Nola with some of the Scottish Studies
Foundation Board
And on the way out for a night out we got a
picture of another family members home and then we met our friends for a
night of excellent conversation :-)
In actual fact we did have a grand chat and I
learned all kinds of things about Canada. For example, Canada
exports more goods to the USA than any other country. It designed
the guidance system for the cruise missiles. Dodge, the all American car,
was actually manufactured in Canada. Canada has a very tolerant
population and has a high number of ethnic groups. It has more oil
in its tar sands that Saudi Arabia has oil. Canada is a major producer of
gold and diamonds. Toronto is expected to grow by 2 million in the next
few years. Most of Canada's exporting manufacturers live near the
border with the USA. It's also interesting to learn that more of the USA's
population is now moving to the south of the country. Loads of other
wee snippets were learnt but that will do for now... and all this is due
to Harolds's fantastic memory for facts! |
