Watching the game this evening (Rays at Jays} brought back memories of many trips to Canada when I was in my teens. My Mom and Dad loved going to Canada on vacation every summer. We would always take my friend Margaret along for company for me. We especially enjoyed the Falls. Standing looking at the Falls our hair would stand up with the electricity in the air. Â
After going the same place for several years we got so we had special areas we enjoyed and wanted to go back to each year. Every year I would buy a pair of fur lined Indian Moccasins. I just loved them.Â
One year my Mom bought some fruit and we had it in the trunk of the car.  When we went through customs the Inspector opened the trunk and it was loaded with ants - he just closed the trunk and motioned for us to get going.Â
Another time we stopped for the night at a cabin.  When I got into my bed I found it full of bed bugs. My Dad tried killing all we could find and then we went to bed.  Just to be safe I put cotton in my ears so these pests could not get into my head. It was a long night and ever after that my Mom and Dad would check everything out before we would make that our stop for the night.
In closing I am sorry to say the Rays lost to the Jays tonight 6-2. If we had 4 more innings to play we might have won. We scored the two runs in the 9th inning with two men out.

Love and prayers from here to there
