Well...I do read a lot....I've read all the PEI books you know...and there was this wonderful show on tv for awhile called Wind At My Back or something like that..about Canada in the depression era...I love reading about Canada...
I would love for you to be able to spend some time way off down here...it would be soooooo entertaining for you.... :rolleyes:
CanChik - August 27, 2006 01:55 PM (GMT)
It would be very entertaining, Ms Patti...the first time I went as far as Nashville I thought I was on another planet...and Arkansas...wow.
I've been as far down as Alabama, which was pretty redneck for this northerner, lol, but I'd love to see Texas, and Mississippi...
pattipagewhite - August 27, 2006 04:02 PM (GMT)
Arkansas...wow..... :rollinglaughing: ...Don't worry...you'll be okay everywhere else...trust me....

I wonder if there isn't any Canadian blood down this way. I drive on a Highway and drink pop (sometimes even the same time. ;))
CanChik - September 7, 2006 10:35 AM (GMT)
Wow, Qman...so all is not lost, there is hope for America yet...hehehe.... :P

It must be the influence of people who found out America is better than Canada. (Pamela Anderson, Shania Twain, Michael J. Fox, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers etc. :)
