Oh Sister. I love your divided loyalties like mine! :) As USA and CANADIAN brothers and sisters we ALL love each other and want the best for each of us!
THIS SUNDAY ... 19 years ago ... I moved to Canada! No regrets.
- Sis :D
(BTW...I am bad in math...so if I said 20 years -ANYWHERE ELSE- I retract...It is 19!)

Paddy...so are you. Don't think for a second that you are NOT! (A B.O.F.A.)

Monnie. Same to YOU and thank you so much! :)!!!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
Mumj! :) ... Of all the people I have been honored to met on BP, YOU are so special to me....And YOU would know the most how much BP as changed my life...OH..SO MUCH FOR THE GOOD!
I am an AMERICAN living in CANADA.
I love BOTH Countries and understand so much how we are ALL brothers and sisters here. Even MUMZIES and daughters! It's wonderful and delightful.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!! :D
Folks... we KNOW this for a fact.
With BP we can feel ALL THE WAY ROUND THE WORLD like brothers and sisters. As one.
Photography may have brought us all together but we KNOW that there is a special KINSHIP that surpasses this.
FOR THIS MAGICAL THING...I am thankful each day. Not just on Thanksgiving.
