well as the olympics comes to a close , there are alot of very good memories that i just have to share with you, and that is when we first heard that the olympics were coming to vancouver , we immediatly wanted tio get tickets but then we found out that they will use the lottery system in order to avoid the rush, so we sign up for every thing, but we wre only awarded three ticket to the mans 500meter speed skating, we wre very happy because we know that the richmond oval building was very close to where we live so that means i could take my grandson with me on the scooter and we could share the experiance as a family all three together so we all bundle up in our coats and we jump up on the scotter along the **beep** and christian was so excited about going to the olympics with me that he couldn"t stop talkingit was an experiance that i wouldn"t trade for any thing i am very sad that there are coming to a close as there was always something going on, and always something top see and to do and i think that canada has done an exellent job , in showing to the world a very good olympics all the athletes has put her or him heart and soul to do the very best that was humanly possible, and canada as a country has showed of the beauty of a country , and the diversity that it is nice to win but it is not every thing , most important, i think is that canada has shown us , that people is just people tring to be a good host to the world and well canada i think that you certainly did shine on that one but alas it is soon will be over , and i for one will be sad, but i for one will have alot of good memories of what i was doing during the olympics, and to be able to be togrther and work as a team effort, and so canada i salute you for putting on a n olympics that was put on very well so thank you canada for the great memories , there were alot of tears, alot of disaster but all in all what you showed was a lot of heart and you make ne proud to be a canadian , thank you for the memories oh yes and p.s. alot of gold medals

:You-Rock: Dear Canada..... :congrats: on a wonderful Olympics and being such a wonderful "Hosting" of the games to the world. :music_band: :groupwave: :groupwave: Lenny, you have been such a good Ambassador sharing Canada with the world. Your love for Canada can be felt by your enthusiasm. I have enjoyed learning about your homeland and seeing the beauty. I have honored Canada by drinking Canada Ginger Ale while watching the games. :) Yes, it is hard when such a lively event has ended, however, there is something new just waiting for you. So get your rest cuz there is something around the bend just waiting for you. It is wonderful you got to share all of these moments with your family especially your precious Grandson. Lots of memories have been made and you will revisit them later on ...... Enjoy the closing ceremony.

 

Great Blog. Like Bob Hope always sang, "Thanks for the Memories..."

Lenny, being a semi-desert nation with very little snow even in mid-winter we were not expecting medals so it is good we got two golds from our girls. Better luck next time boys!

 

Thanks for the links you have posted, I have had a look at them and enjoyed that. Glad you got to take your grandson and watched the mens skating together, a happy memory you will long share.

hi lenny, i agree with you canada did a wonderful job in hosting the Olympics this year and i bet they get it again some other year down the road. vancouver is a beautiful city and had alot to offer. the beauty and magnitude of the city was breath taking. i have always thought british columbia was beautiful. i am glad you and your family were able to go to the games and thank you for explaining the ticketing system. i wondered how they did that.

the pictures you sent me were great i saved them on my computer to show other friends and family. canada did very well in the medal count and showed us how hockey is played, congrats on the win. now you have alot of great memories to last you forever. you did well in keeping us updated on the games with your links. i was sad too when they ended, i watched everyday for 2 weeks and enjoyed them very much. now they are over and the athletes can go home proud for a job well done with their medals. on a sad note a Olympian from 1972/swimming events lives here in phoenix, i forget her name, just had her home broken into and her medals were stolen and she is heart broken. normally she kept them in a safe deposit box but hadn't taken them back before she went out of town. i feel so bad for her. anyway thank you for your blog. it was well written by a true Olympic and vancouver fan.
