Canada Day. 143rd B-day, that's pretty old. I had a great day with my brother and some of his friends at the beach and in our backyard. It was sunny and hot, perfect weather for being outside.
One of the people who came to the BBQ in the backyard was a natural choice for my photo of the day, not just because she has one of the cutest little baby boys, aka "The Newt", but because she might possibly be one of the biggest political gurus of our time. So, this political anniversary of our nation, is dedicated to Ingrid.
I haven't really known Ingrid for long, but in that very short amount of time I have gained a huge amount of respect for her. She is passionate and very loyal to her beliefs. She doesn't take things for granted but puts a lot of effort, creative energy and focus into everything she puts her hand and heart to, whether it be her politics, knitting, art, photography, acting or her family life. She is one of those young women who you just KNOW are going to be key to the leadership and re-development of our town, region and province because of her keen awareness of what is going on around her, her intelligence and her willingness to get involved. I think one of my first recollections of Ingrid was when she decided to start a Facebook fan club for my dad. Weird, but it turned out to be an interesting group for a while. Ingrid is also a talented musician, check her out here.
