you should dedicate this one to kim
mounties are woowoo. and the mountie in winnepeg always helped us find our way when we got lost (which was very often)
Wow. On so many levels...
i used to watch a show about a mountie
dudley do-right?
no, i don't remember what it was called but it had a good-looking mountie on it, & of course he was such a gentleman too :)
kay, I get the whole Mountie thing- but it so doesn't work for me- Josh's dad is one!
And what Mountie statue did you guys see? I can't think of any Mountie statue around here, but probably I'm just blind!
there's a mountie statue in the center of downtown winnepeg, where a bunch of streets come together. every time we got lost, we somehow ended up back at the mountie.
speaking of mounties, have you read either "when calls the heart", by janette oke, or "mrs. mike" (an old book, i think the author is somebod freedman)? they're both great mountie stories
Okay, I have looked and looked, and asked people and we can't figure out where this Mountie statue is! Is he on a horse, or just standing? Was he on a building or beside or on a boulevard? I realize this was almost 5 years ago- but I'm sure you must remember :)
and yup, I've read and loved all those books. I think I read them in jr. high when I lived in Thompson so I really understood what they were talking about and it was nice to read about how the fort system worked and such. I should read them again!
maybe you've just never been lost in winnipeg ;)
ok, i'm pretty sure he's on a horse. he's out in front of a building - perhaps a government building of some sort.
but now i've googled just about everything i can think of and can find no trace of our mountie.
maybe we imagined it...
working on it! Going to the mattresses (aka Facebook!)
Ok, high school friend says there is a Mountie by the RCMP headquarters (obvious place) but that he's standing with no horse. There arn't a lot of streets converging there so I don't think he's your guy. Still looking!
facebook is aka the mattresses?
(on an unrelated note: isn't "mattresses" a funny-looking word?;)
maybe your friend is right. it's been a few years, so my memory might be a bit foggy.
let me guess, chel - you haven't seen 'the godfather'
you and i have, didder!
and mattresses does look funny, now that you mention it. :)
oh -- no, i guess i haven't...
the funny thing is, chel, that you have so many dvds (at least at your mom's - maybe they're not yours). i guess we just haven't seen the same ones.
Yup, from "The Godfather" but I haven't actually seen that movie at all. This reference is more specifically from "You've got mail" where guy tells girl to "go to the mattresses" to save her business... and I know you all have seen that one!
oh, and i meant to say this a week ago - thank you, kim. i don't think anyone has ever gone to the mattresses for me before.
and you gave mel and me a chance to say that we've seen 'the godfather', because we like being able to mention that in conversations :)
i'm still confused, so i think i need to watch both movies -- i've seen you've got mail but it was only once & a long time ago...
