Canada Day - in Ghana
Thanks to our daughter Carolyn, we flooded the MTC with Canadian Memorabilia - flags, and napkins and stickers some of which are in evidence here. This actual situation is everyone singing happy birthday to the Elder waving the flag as his birthday fell on the same day as Canada Day - following this presentation Sister Nielson insisted that she and her husband, sing a duet of "Oh Canada" - which prompted a rendition of the national anthem of all the countries present (who had the availability of more than just 1 representative) to sing their own national anthem. Since it was Sunday, we tried to keep it to a minimal "roar". Also since it was Sunday we didn't reflect much on Raymond Days, but I think we'd both be dishonest if about 4 PM on Monday (10 AM Alberta time) we didn't think for a moment about the Raymond parade and the Tollestrup get together - some traditions are pretty firmly engrained in us.
