Week 37 Blocks 109-111 Wear Sunscreen

Elaine from Crazy Quilter on a Bike, reminded me last week about the song Wear Sunscreen that came out in 1999. Yes a long time ago based on years, or as it really is, a very short time ago because time has flown. To this day the message still applies. For all the young'uns take heed. For all you old'uns think back and smile. It is so true.

Since Friday it's been wear sunscreen and breathe non smoke air. The winds have shifted away from Calgary. It was great to go out and smell the roses.

Week 37 brings women that defended Canada, that painted about the war and that survived the war to use genetics to learn a person's problems and help them.

Blocks 106-108 Smoke and Fire

Fire and smoke. Smoke and fire. British Columbia and now Alberta forests are on fire. The smoke is thick in Calgary. Fine pieces of ash can be found on outdoor objects. Not a great way to get back to reality after the Stampede. Went to hike at Grassi Lakes in Canmore AB this morning, smoke not as thick, but I went shopping instead at The Sugar Pine quilt shop in Canmore so all was not lost.



I was so surprised, I'm sure you will be as well, to find out that an all time favourite cartoon of mine is Canadian.  
Unfortunately, I wasn't surprised to learn about the situation that a young Canadian had to go thru to get an education. The fact is that these situations are still happening in Canada.
