While Squeegee was enjoying time in his paddock, his 'person' Judy was hard at work. She was asked to arrange some of the flowers at Delta Grandview, for the arrival of Governor General Michaelle Jean.
The Governor General was in town to attend the National Youth Caucus, held concurrent to the G8 at Deerhurst. She also met with seven leaders of African nations and the President of Haiti during a working luncheon. 
They got to watch the American helicopter arrive with President Obama -- out here, we got Canadian helicopters only. Which was all well and good, but we would have enjoyed the buzz of seeing Marine One overhead.Asked to produce something "Muskoka and Natural", Judy found herself and her two grand-daughters combing through the woods near Grandview, 
seeking out birchbark and wildflowers. (The Muskoka and Natural theme seemed to prevail throughout: Russian President Medvedev ordered venison at Randy Spencer's Tall Trees restaurant. No shortage of that around here! But rest easy, fans of the local fauna -- it wouldn't be one of our deer that turned up on the President's dinner plate) (This one was working for the G8 Security team, as a radar installation)

It wouldn't surprise us if a few of Squeegee's hairs found their way out of Judy's car and into the birchbark at Delta Grandview... a little souvenir of her brush with the pony.
