Three most memorable moments......
 

since moving to Canada........

For me, in no particular order really.........

1. Watching Mama Mia then having a few glasses of wine on the balcony of the Park Hyatt In Toronto looking south over the city one warm summers night

2. First visit to Cobourg beach

3. Build my first thing, namely a deck. Never been particularly DIY oriented but kind of proud of it.

I find it nice that an hour west there is the 'big city' and hour east a gorgeous beach. Would be nice to have the Rockies nearby, but guess you can' have everything!

Anyone else care to share a top three?

In order of experience...

1) First skiing lesson for me, husband and 2 boys and then me moving off the bunny hill to the intermediate hill in lesson 2

2) Finally buying/moving into our farm after 4 years of planning

3) Felling our first tree on said farm this weekend (maybe that's just because it just happened). It did feel good though having a go when we would have just brought someone in to do it for us in England!:thumbsup:

I was in Cobourg on Friday and even put my feet in the water. Bloody cold.

and emmae, a farm in Peterborough? Also not far from me, I'm in Hastings.

Memorable moments.

Graduating from Fleming
Hearing again with my implant
Dog sledding in Haliburton Forest.

Not sure if the third one is a 'most' memorable moment but it is today.

Emmae, are you free to meet for a coffee sometime?

Good question, I will of course be leaving out the obvious meeting my hubby, marrying my hubby replies - but more personal occasion related stuff is :

1) Taking my youngest daughter horseriding through the badlands late afternoon with her riding western :o I have a beautiful photo of it.

2) Fishing at Police Outpost (more or less on the american border) early evening, with eerily calm water, beautiful sunset and a bald eagle flying overhead.

3) riding a sled (skidoo) / quad for the first time.

I sometimes, even when i'm driving down the highway say out loud "holy shit i'm driving on the wrong side of the road, listening to country music, in a car Jeremy Clarkson would have a field day with, IN CANADA - how f****g lucky am I :thumbup:

Re: Three most memorable moments......
 

hot damn that's a nice deck! well done!

Re: Three most memorable moments......
 

I was there on Saturday/Sunday...lots of people by the waterfront at the annual festival...even a booth selling 'deep fried marsbars'

Re: Three most memorable moments......
 

this one?

Like Moo, I shall forgo the obvious answers about family stuff - the younger two of my three kids were born here, so they'd be in there for most memorable moments.

1. moving into our house. Since then, there have been numerous small DIY victories - making a whole wall of built-in bookshelves, sorting all the plumbing and electrics to move the laundry down into the basement, fixing up the deck - but the day we first occupied "our" space was pretty special.

2. watching huge great chunks of ice plummet over Niagara Falls in early spring with my parents when they came visiting.

3. scampering up my favourite local hillclimb in a newly-Canadian-registered Morgan after finally sorting out the import and licensing documentation.

Re: Three most memorable moments......
 

Like others, giving birth to a Canadian is top of the list.
But, 3 for sharing are:
1. Sat on our deck the first evening after moving into our house in Fredericton with my fantastic hubby and enjoying the view, peace and quiet, and a glass of wine. We even got a free firework show that night from the hotel about 10kms away.
2. Visiting Hopewell Rocks and Fundy Park in NB with my mum and sister. Still the best bit of NB as far as I'm concerned.
3. Designing our house in Fall River, NS from scratch, and seeing it being built. I'm really pleased with the job we did, although we will be leaving soon for pastures new.

No, it was a bigger concession stand that had deep fried mars bars on the right and funnel cakes on the left. The stand was green with yellow lettering I think.

That waterfront festival in Cobourg had the full gambit of food that appeals to mouth breathers.

1. Finally skiing Whistler as a 'local'.
2. Seeing our first bear, as it munched flowers next to the Sea to Sky highway.
3. Being called a "giver" by a Canauckian whilst playing hockey (still not sure if that was a compliment!:confused:)

Re: Three most memorable moments......
 

1) The day I hooked a big 20lbs + salmon,
2) When I lost that big salmon
3) When I caught and landed another one ten minutes later.

Given that it's in an iced hockey context - it's probably gay.

1 - Skiing most of the bottom half of the peak to creak run in 2 foot of untracked fresh powder. The ski patrol had roped it off for some reason - even though it was actually open (I asked them).

2 - Taking my mum and dad whale watching.

3 - Ferry rides - any and all of them.
