The parade had ended and I was off to enjoy the afternoon just playing in the garden when I heard my name being called..it was Mike and Ann walking down to the Legion and before you knew it, off I went as well...

Watching all the soldier doing their official leave got me joking with them as they were getting ready to enjoy the festivities..told them I'd be at Petawawa Monday morning for training, with a bunch of good looking men like they, well, that was my next journey to a new career!

As we sat and enjoyed FREE hot dogs/hamburgers, pop, prizes were being given out for best in parade..think in total 4 bikes were given out and many more prizes...

At my table were many of the young soldiers..a few barely able to speak english...some stationed at Petawawa were from Quebec..one young soldier went on to tell me the many from Quebec treat soldiers terribly, don't support their endeavors in the war..lordy, it's not of their choosing..after all they are keeping us safe and a free nation...

They told me to forget the 7:00am visit on Monday, said push-ups were at 5:30 and I'd best be there...

They were all too cute..I re-enforced just how lucky we were to have young men such as they...
