You compiled a great list of all things Canada. I think Christopher Plummer is my favorite. Captain Von Trapp still makes me a little weak in the knees. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who wanted to swap places with Julie Andrews. I was happy to see him win the Oscar in 2012 and he is still dashing, in sorta geriatric way. Haven't been to Canada since I was a kid but I really should make another visit.

Very lovely Kir Royale and husby and I will have a Molson Canadian later in your wonderful country's honor. I've vowed to visit Canada and that is on my bucket list. <br /><br />Can I confess something ... you've cleared up a big mystery for me. You know how people think they know the words to a song and swear by that but can be really wrong? Well...
