Stump!
Betcha that wasn’t what you were expecting me to say! (If you actually were, you might have either heard me tell this story before or have incredible mental faculties… And by that I mean you saw the picture. 😋)
Earlier this year (which doesn’t narrow it down at all as that could be any of the other 11 months), my dad, Carrie, and I went kayaking at Weeki Wachee Springs in Northernish Florida. As we rounded a bend, we saw some sunglasses and “poled” over to investigate. (I may have just made the world’s worst pun ever, given the fact that you use paddles, not poles, to steer and propel kayaks. Also, you don’t pull a kayak over like you would a car. So, apologies all around but I’m keeping it there because I can. Also, can you believe how long this parenthetical statement is??)
We made this amazingly true-to-life sculpture of our President-elect using part of an onion we found lying around (I kid you not) and a leaf. Bonus points if you know the Latin name of the plant from whence the leaf came to us on a bonny breeze (OK, we picked it up off the ground, but I will still be impressed).
In light of today’s importance, I thought I’d share this now. 🙂

P.S. Yes, I know the cypress knee we used isn’t a stump. Why do you have to be so critical! We were just making a pun and having fun. (hehe, rhyme) (shoutout to anyone who got that Ultimate Spiderman reference).
Brilliant. Can I vote for you someday?

The hair was what totally made it, lol. It was just a stump (knee) with great sunglasses before, then I saw the onion and was struck with inspiration. Why does his hair look so much like an onion?? Hahaha

Hahahahaha why are you so right?? I am so ashamed of my generation… I didn’t want Hillary to win, I prayed that she wouldn’t, and cheered for Trump, but I wouldn’t have cried if this was a different outcome because God is in control. 🙂 Sadly, this world needs that wonderfully good news in maximum dosages, esp at this holiday season.
What’s the Canadian reaction to Trump’s win?

I think the majority of Canadians hate that he won just because we think it will negatively affect us.

Our economy will suffer. He wants to scrap trade deals and do a bunch of things that won’t benefit us. I’m not a genius so I don’t know the details but that’s the gist of it. “When the US sneezes, Canada catches a cold.”
