Dog days of Summer

 Hello my dear friends. I believe we needed a new post. 😊 It's a very simple one, Duncan is a part of it of course, and I wanted to introduce my granddog Abel to you. He is a sweet boy and also a bit of a stinker! Duncan has patience and gets along well with him. 















                                                                    Enjoy your summer!

Independence Day

Happy 4th of July 2021!












Celebrations seem so strange after the covid months. My neighborhood is full of fireworks tonight. Duncan is not happy about it at all. It is a return to normal I suppose, which is good, but I kind of miss the quiet.




Have a good week everyone!

Canada Day 2021

This year Canada Day is a day of reflection and grief. It is not a day to celebrate. Canadians love their country and we have many blessings- but we must be willing to look at our history and acknowledge the wrongs that were done.  

"It's possible to love something very much and also want it to be better than it was, and is." Chris Jones




1500 graves discovered over the last month or so. Many more will be uncovered. 
 As many as 25,000 children may have died. 



Niagara Falls will be illuminated in Red & White to celebrate Canada and rotate to Orange to honour and support our Indigenous community.




 Throughout Canada Day, the CN Tower will light up in orange in solidarity with and in support of Indigenous communities across Canada; there will be no light show




My heart breaks for our country, for the mothers and fathers whose children never returned, and most of all for the children who endured this hell. And I shed tears at my ignorance. This is what happens when we whitewash our history.




WE. MUST. DO. BETTER.

Let's continue the celebration

 Today is Q's Birthday! Someone who is very special to all of us. So many memories shared over the years. I must say she helped me cope during the covid months. 😉 I think we may have had plenty of sweets during Regina's celebration, so let's enjoy some different treats now. 













The lobster roll is the best part! 


Happy Birthday Q!

We always need chocolate!
