Well, thank you all very much!
I’m just glad the girls liked their ‘bomb’.
Since I feel like the only girl in the Fort, with the exception of MarieCrow’s flybys, it seemed appropriate to encourage the young ladies.
I actually found out about them and their collections way back in the early spring. Phil mentioned them over on the Diner.
I thought a couple of little Richards Mounties might make a good start. It’s my brand and of course the Mountie is such an iconic symbol up here. Then I acquired a Canada multi knife and a Vancouver. In those went. I got the two teddies around Canada day when the stores were souvenir crazy. Last was the postcards - a polar bear cub and twin black bear cubs, to match the stuffies, and a pair of Vancouver cards.
Off went the Great Northern Missile!
Of course, it’s the incredible kindness I’ve been shown here that got me started. Hopefully, one day the girls will be happily filling little boxes of their own and sending them all over the country and the world. It’s a good feeling!
Guess what colour I just turned! 
Yeah. That richard is a nice one! the blades are like new.
