Our love shines.

The Stanley Cup has returned to Whitehorse YT for this year's Hockey Day in Canada.


I've been watching the festivities and highlights have included:
- A special feature about two girls from Haines Junction YT, the little town I lived near when I was up north. There were shots of the place I had soup each Friday, the place where we took hot showers, the junction where the Alaska Highway splits. Good memories.
- A story about an annual backyard hockey tournament in Cornwall ON. It looked like it was colder there than it was in Whitehorse today and I am not surprised.
- Ron McLean, sporting a Hudson's Bay Company wool coat with yellow, red, green, and blue stripes, and quoting Charles Schultz, "three things everyone loves to watch: a babbling brook, a crackling fire, and a Zamboni going round and round."
- Blue Rodeo!

I'm really glad I've got a lot of skating days scheduled for the next few weeks!

One more thing today.

I just came across a link to a British Knitted Village. This incredible model was made by an Afternoon Club. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but I'm guessing it's a lot of older ladies getting together and knitting crazy cool things.



The entire project took over 23 years to complete by the 40 members of the club. Each of the buildings in their town of Mersham, near Ashford, is included and the details they included are absolutely countless. Now that they're all finished, the pieces will be auctioned off and all proceeds will go towards their local town hall.
