We had our Citizenship ceremony today ... I took the event very seriously & wore my best hat!! 75 people from 24 different countries were there, the judge said we should have had our own world cup

Nice hat but i think wearing the rest of the Mountie uniform was a little over the top.

I love the look on the judge's face
Congratulations to you. I hope we are not far behind.
I might have to start looking for my own 'event' hat!
And I'm with Fled - do you get to keep the Mountie?

Congrats again.

Is it me or does the Judge look like Uncle Fester from the Addams family?
