‘being a good neighbor is an art which makes life richer.’ -gladys saber

Standard

happy belated Canada Day

to my friendly neighbors upstairs in the north

sorry I missed it

but as you might have heard

we’ve had a lot going on

 downstairs here in the south

I  decided to paddle over

right across the detroit river

from michigan to canada

rather than drive through our border

to say thanks for everything, eh?

‘the happiest people i know are people who don’t even think about being happy.

they just think about being good neighbors,

good people.

and then happiness sort of sneaks in the back window while they are busy being good.’
