When your Gram isBrenda and I both tried hard to teach Grace to say
Canadian, it is important to celebrate your heritage on important days, like
Canada Day. This is especially true when Gram goes to Canada and brings
you back a present, like a red t-shirt celebrating the Canadian Olympics in

"Happy Canada Day Gram" on Tuesday morning before I dropped her off at
Gram's for the day. She has the "Happy" part down, and I think she has the

At this point, I should probably take a moment to thank the sponsors of this particular blog entry, Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Gramma's Strawberry Preserves. Gramma's Strawberry Preserves and Peach Butter is only available at a small pantry in Tyler, TX. She doesn't advertise, she doesn't sell her products online, heck, she doesn't even sell her products period... But those in the know, know where to go to get their jelly fix. Since I am down to my last jar of Strawberry Preserves, and I am completely out of Peach Butter, it must be about time for another journey to East Texas. Since Gramm...
