30 years ago today. Never forgotten, forever missed....

RIP dearest Patsy...

Friday, I installed new phone and sunglasses holders in the car that I had ordered from Amazon.

Yesterday, Canada lost 3-0 to Morocco so their Cinderella run at the World Cup has ended. They had played well enough to win, but, as normal, had zero finish.... I suggest they practice in a farmer's field to learn how to hit the broad side of a barn!!! Sheesh!!!

I went to my cousin Jeanne's to celebrate her friend Meng's 57th Birthday. It was a fun evening and one of his podiatrist office patients who lived nearby joined us with his wife. We told many stories and the time went by very quickly.

Happy Birthday Meng!!!

I got home at 11pm and started work on a couple of old family photos that Jeanne wanted me to work on... They were old and faded and I was sure that my new programs and PhotoShop would restore them.

Today, I finished the work on those photos and I am sure she will be very happy.

Now, back to watching World Cup....

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.

Thursday July 2, 2026

Last evening I was taking a look out my window, taking a few bird shots with the P1100 and spotted the jackrabbit again in the parking lot.

Later, I looked out and saw this tiny bundle of fur zipping along and hiding in the foliage near the cars. This little cutie seemed so tiny and vulnerable that I just wanted to pick him up and cuddle him. I hope his Dad looks out for him well. His Dad has been around here for at least 3 years.

The prior rain and cool weather at 11pm did not make me feel like shooting 15 minutes of fireworks outside... Sorry.

Today, I made a trip to Dollarama, stopping by Vinnie's Treasure Shoppe as is my custom when I know they are open. While there, I got 2 phone calls, both from nieces...

At Dollarama, I stocked up on snacks, mostly peanuts, and other sundries.

I unpacked my groceries and went over to The Common again for their Thursday special, $12.99 Fish'n'Chips. This could easily become a ritual because it is a more filling and gratifying meal than Wednesday Wings which have become puny and costly...

I halted in front of the liquor store next door and decided to check for their specials.. I came out with 2 bottles of wine to use for company or for gifts. Bottles of booze have birthdays in my fridge.

The World Cup has its crazy moments, mostly due to odd refereeing, which change the odds of the game. I must admit that Spain looked particularly skilled and strong today, exactly the way I would coach them to attack. They won easily 3-0.

A late game tomorrow for Colombia....

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
