Last Tuesday, July 1st, we celebrated Canada Day by attending an outdoor concert, followed by some fantastic fireworks! The band playing that night was April Wine, a very popular Canadian band from the 70s, lol. The show started off slowly, but picked up speed to a great ending! Way to go guys!
Happy July 4th to my American friends and Happy Birthday to Asterisk! Nice Summer gift for a lady who just got her Phd. woo hoo!! Have a beautiful day, sweet lady!
Thanks very much for your well-wishes, Jessy. I like the smiley person. :) It was sometimes quite stressful, but now Matt has moved on to a new stage in life.
We are also pleased that he completed 10 courses in French during High School, so he received an official Bilingual Certificate for French and English. His knowledge of French will really help him if he wishes to stay in this part of Canada. We border on Québec and there is a requirement for two languages for roughly 80% of the job openings in Ottawa. When I hear my sons speak French, their accent is remarkable. ;) Even though Adam dropped out of Immersion in Grade 8, his accent is still quite good, since he was also in Early Immersion from age 5.
