Meet da-AL:

Hi there! I’m da-AL, and since I learned to hold a pencil, I’ve been a writer. My journalism awards include an Emmy (click here for more about that and to watch the documentary) and various cable TV ones. An earlier video was nominated for an Emmy.

VICTORIA DAY, A UNIQUE CANADIAN TRADITION!

Happy Victoria Day to my fellow Canadian residents! 🎉

This is our our first long weekend since Easter and Canada’s “unofficial start to summer”. So, what exactly is Victoria Day and why do we celebrate it? Here’s a brief history:

Most people party with BBQs and beer, fireworks and cheer. As a dog mom, I could live without that noise, but we sure love hanging out on the back deck! (More about that below.)

The holiday is colloquially known in parts of Canada as “May Two-Four”, a double entendre that refers both to the date around which the holiday falls (May 24) and the Canadian slang for a case of twenty-four beers (a “two-four”), a drink popular during the long weekend. – WIKIPEDIA

SUMMER VIBES

May is always busy, with spring cleaning, yard work, and setting up our outdoor living space. The back deck is where we hang out most of the summer, so it’s worth the effort!

  1. da-AL is certainly an amazing and generous woman and a successful author. I read the guest post and it was very interesting. As for me, we are leaving for France soon to visit my wife’s sister and their family, and see Paris at the same time.
