Canuk Greg from Ottawa, Canada

Hello Greg - to you and your family. I hope it is one that is filled with many blessings, joy and laughter!

We have a very cold morning here today. 2 deg (F). Brrrrrr. Right now, we have about 14 inches of snow on the ground.

Thank you for your kind words about Jenny. She was overwhelmed with everyones kindness on this site.

Have a great day!

Thank you for your visit, and thank you for your kind words.
Have a great day.

Hi Greg - his dad/my dearest husband is from Edmonton. The babe is now 16 months old, walking, climbing and generally exploring his world. His name is Mike. My page is boring because I spend most of my time with my two boys. The older brother is just as cute (not that I'm biased) - his name is Nick. Thanks for your interest.

G'day Greg. I posted this on Easy this morning but I have my doubts that you'll see it. Just repeating it here for you as I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it, that is, if you don't already know it.

~~~ Are you there Canuk Greg? The "Sydney Morning Herald" is an esteemed newspaper in Sydney, Australia (not the Nova Scotia one) which has a feature called Column 8. It's a daily compulsory read for me, after Sudoku. Right now there's a lot of stuff going on about Canada and I've found out
that one of the names once proposed for Canada was...Hochelaga !! Mmmm. Can you imagine singing your national anthem as "O Hochelaga, O Hochelaga" ? Sense prevailed, thank goodness. ~~~

Me again.. I should have given you the link.

This is just today's but there is an archive link on the top right of the page. A good sense of humour and the ridiculous is compulsory.

Thank you Greg, hubby and I most certainly did enjoy our getaway, however brief. He is my best friend and we love being in each others company.
This year is full of milestones for us, so hopefully later in the year, we may be able to get away for longer, possibly even a cruise. Can't wait.
BTW Did you know it will be Rolanda's 25th next Tuesday 15th?

Hi, Greg! That was a great poem you wrote for the return of the site! Thank you for rising to the occasion! It seems this site is not at a loss for poets!

for the "Welcome"! Love pasties, but never had one like that! Always a first time, I say!

Greg, I am truly touched by your little poem, thank you. The philosophy you suggest is very appropriate and it has helped me to remember the good times we shared together and not to dwell on what has been lost. Many thanks.

thanks for the b-day wishes. haven't commented in a very long time. New job taking up most of my time. I still play every morning. Except Sunday, my b-day. what a bummer! Hope this message finds you well. thanks again for your friendly comments. check out new pics on my page
bye for now.

Found your poem. Nice! Saved it to my doc.s. hope you don't mind. You should give it a title.
Have a good day.

Greg for birthday wishes yesterday 13th Jan. Finished a wonderful day with a dinner with family.

Good morning to you, Wanted to drop by and thank you for your thoughts and prayers, I love this site and it lifts my spirits to visit here in the mornings before I start my day. Thanks again and enjoy your day, Mary I thought of you this morning - my husband picked up an apple fritter for me - and one yesterday too. Have to tell him, He needs to take me for a walk !

Thanks Greg for the birthday wishes. I am making a week of it. Sunday was with daughters and Laura (at Belinda's so Laura could go horse riding). Yesterday with my sister. Today (15th) I will play bowls with friends and we will go to Melbourne on Thursday to catch up with my son and our grandsons.

Hey CG, Thanks for lovely message and new cereal. Definitely feeling stressed at the moment, and having a particularly bad 24 hours since yesterday. Your message was a great boost to my spirits, thanks again.

Hello C.G. Don't worry to much about missing sending b/day wishes. I forgive you. No hard feelings, my heart's not broken, no tears streaming down my face.[feeling bad yet]. SORRY! I can be a little stinker at times. We have had a couple of trips to Sandy Cape. have loaded pics into my gallery but will have to resubmit them, when the site settles down. Thanks for the better late than never b/day wishes. Cheers.

CGreg, great new poem for Sudokuland!

CGreg,
Your poems are great with very original 'scan' and rhyming pattern. I enjoy them. Make sure you store them somewhere safe and I think you will find you will come back to them, edit and improve them from time to time. yes. I share cooking with neighbouring friends. I do dinner three days, and they do it four days, each week. It works well.

Loved your poem on Gath's page Greg....

Many thanks for the nice message about my house. I am so relieved that it has sold, as I was starting to get rather worried. Interest rates are increasing almost weekly here making a big mortgage even harder to afford, so I think I've been very lucky.

Hi Greg,
Thank you so much for your birthday wishes to me on the 16th. My apologies for being so late in replying. I had a lovely day, made even better by the greetings from my new friends on this site. Thank you so much!

Ah! Thanks CG for the msg and turning the page..I was just waiting for someone to do it(for some obvious reason!)..ok first apologies for not returning the newyear greetings, was too busy and when I was around the site was down..
Lifes good right now, with lovely climate here and as such no complaints..plz do make a visit to my page when you feel like...
take care.
cheers
anu.

Loved the youtube, took me back... Hope all is well in Gregs world, keep up with the poetry.

Hi Greg, dropped in on Gath and saw your latest ode to sudoku that you left on his page. VERY GOOD. I love to write but don't share the flare that you, Rayray and jane have. I admire you all so much. Keep them coming.

Hi Greg,

Hope you are well, long time since I've posted anywhere here. Happy new year (it's a bit late, I know!). With a bit of luck, I'm back online regularly.

You must have the most popular page on Sudoku!

Hello Greg
Well , it is always a big pleasure to hear from you , we had cold too but not your cold , it reached here till 4C which is not normal in Beirut , and there is snow on the mountains . My niece who is in Toronto , also told me about the weather , every thing else is ok , keep warm and take care ,

Just dropped in to say ello Greg, and checked out the youtube, and I'm turning turning turning.

Hi Greg, It's nice to know you visited. I just love the song on my tube by Peter Allen. I have taught it to many children in my years of teaching and it always makes me feel very patriotic.

(sorry lost the latest in the crash)
Normie Rowe is another Australian Artist, and as you can see, it was a very very very long time ago that he performed it.
Thanks for the push, and your comments, you had me

Thanks, CG. Sad thing is, Ian will probably never return to enjoy the fallout of his little jape.

Greg!

Yes, CG! I was going to buy a chanter from this Scottish company but Jeb suggested another source. I'm going by what he says. I already play a recorder and a little clarinet, so I suppose this won't be too hard to learn. But if I appear blue in the face you'll let me know, right? I did that trying out my son's sax. Ugh!

Hello Canuk Greg.....thx for the welcome and compliments. I'm a dropout from this site. My first posting was on 12/30/05. I got so wrapped up in it, found myself leaving for work later and later each morning. Coming home a checking, reading and reading and reading...and reading. I'm guessing I dropped off the site about a year later. Addicted.....hummm yup! I have kept contact with Jim from Jupiter(jj) and CeeCee over the time away. jj got me back into it when he invited me to take a look at his page. I was fortunate to meet the two of them last year when my mom and I took a cruise through the Panama Canal that debarked from Fort Lauderdale. They are both terrific people. Linda (LK) from Minnesota was the first to greet me in 2005. We have very close family friends that live in B.C., daughter in Richmond and her mom on Salt Springs Island. My father was suppose to have been a Canuk...but he surprised his parents by arriving early during a winter visit to North Dakota. Saskatchewan was his families home but his father died at 52 and mom brought him to Fargo, ND. My parents, brother and I traveled to Montreal in 1964 for the Expo.....we camped all the way there and back. OMG all I rememebr was our tent filled with rain water. I was 13 and didn't want to camp but I do remember the sights. Ok TMI as the kids say. Thanks again for the welcome.

Gidday Greg, You have about as many pages of comments as I have comments... Popular man!! Just thought I'd drop by to say hi. I was looking at that fantastic toboggan run glacier... Now wouldn't that be the last thrill of a lifetime. Seriously, You take some wonderful photos. Canada (from what I remember from my 3 week visit to BC in 1983) is just an amazing exhilaratingly beautiful place. I remember my cousin taking me up to visit a glacier about half an hour - or perhaps a bit more - north of Vancouver. I don't think that it was the one that you have photographed- I don't remember it being quite as big. Another beautiful place that I was priviliged to be taken to was Lake Quesnel in the Caribu. We stayed in a little log cabin that was only accessible by boat. Another spectacularly beautiful place.
Keep the Canuks in check fi

Hi Greg! You'll be happy to know I got the same answer as you (1584) on my first try. I mistakenly calculated 49 big cats instead of 343 because I figured for each of the 7 girls having only 1 backpack not 7!!! Hope you're keeping warm & well up there in the cold cold north!!!

Hi Greg, Been a long time since I have stopped by. Have not been on site much since... Anyway better now my 3 months for the brace is almost over, will be nice to get back to a normal life, what ever that is. Looking forward to being able to travel again. Stay warm!

I took Angie's design and modified it a bit to include your suggestion of "have fun playing at" & also the text "bringing the world together" (from MizT). It is a simple design - 3 colors.

It is on my page an 8"x10" design. Changes like that can be fairly easily made to any of the designs.

PS - enjoyed listening to your U-tube - I'm currently featuring a Canuck on mine for the next few days.

Greg, thank you so much for the welcome you posted on my page, belated or otherwise, it is appreciated. And thanks for the tips on searching for options. I am hopeful that one day I will make it on my cruise to see icebergs.

Take care,
Aimee :-)

Hey Greg glad you liked the song on my Youtube and I have to tell you I have been a fan of Simeon & Garfunkle for years I have their CD in the car as well as one in the house. Great to have you visit we are both doing fine hope you & yours are as well.
