O Canada!

Well Hello There Canadians!

So basically I went for the longest walk ever today

After my run I just walked and walked and walked!

Then I decided to look for  CANADA FLAG patches for 

my 30 L and 60 L (yet to buy THE 60L ) hiking packs!

I went to Zellars, Walmart, Dollarama, CAA

&  Canadian Tire was the only one to have ONE PACK!

They only had ONE pack in stock of three patches!

The biggest one being the one in the picture above the other two are tiny

SAD DAY RIGHT?

anyways, so I decided tonight to sew one of them on.

Because I'm super excited and discovered

SEWING IS HARD!

I poked myself a billion times!

even though I know a bunch of people who could have done it for me

(& could do a WAY better job then me)

Once I started I felt proud of our wonderful country!

We are so darn lucky to be Canadians and I am very proud of my heritage!

(Obviously otherwise why would I want to sew a Canadian Flag on my pack)

As I was brutally sewing on this patch I thought

to myself how I want to tell everyone 

I AM CANADIAN

When I travel I want everyone to know because 

I LOVE CANADA!!

AND I AM PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!!

I love my timmies coffee, the rocky mountains, our changing seasons, freedom, poutine, 100% maple syrup, canoeing, hockey,

AND MOST OF ALL...

The Canadian 

LOONIE AND TOONIE!

Money just isn't right without them!

So I felt inclined to service my country by sewing on my patch,

ALL BY MYSELF!

Just so everyone knows I love my country enough

 to stab my fingers a hand full of times.

I mean come on, it's the least I can do!

Canada, I love you!

Love,

Holly Dolly So Smally
