Well, it was a great visit to Ottawa for President Barack Obama today and we followed it from our Lufkin home on Twitter and TV.Back when we were entertaining visitors in Toronto, I was always fascinated that they really did want souvenirs to take back home. Once we toured the CN Tower with a well-known purebred dog person as he closed down one kiosk with an enormous bill and we moved on to another that was still open where he bought several more items to take back to Bogota, Columbia.
So it was no surprise to watch President Obama looking for maple sugar (cookies) and a snowglobe among other souvenirs in the ByWard Market in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada this afternoon.
What was a surprise was that friend, Winn from Ottawa (who we know from widownet and that's twelve years ago) was there and shook hands with the President!
Now, how did I know that and know it 13 minutes after she got home? Well, that would be because when I joined Facebook a few weeks ago, Winn found me there stat! Heck, Winn has even read my book, Bumpy Road To Texas!
Don't you just love it! The world is really delightfully small these days!
By the way, Winn had already read my blog this morning!
