Yoon Ho Um

Happy Canada Day to my Canadian Peeps!

Had a mysterious text message wishing me a “Happy Canada Day”. Didn’t recognize the number so I just called the person to say “Happy Canada Day”…

She said “Thanks” followed by “Do you know who this is…?”

Haha! Um, nope but I wasn’t about to tell her that…

Found out that she was someone who had taken #’s from her old cellphone & added them to her new one… so when I called her back she saw my name pop up… talk about no fun… no guessing games there…

I must say that I do like this girl’s voice…

And thanks to @TraciToguchi over in Hawaii for her Canada Day Tweet…

And thanks to my fellow Canuck WAY over in the Maritimes/Atlantic @4u2wear2

Read what I wrote for Thanksgiving last year and how it relates to Canada Day…
