Happy CANADA DAY everyone.

After advising my sister to switch website providers I thought that I should do the same to the unwieldy Tripod site that I have had for years. So I spent most of the morning, after chores, switching my Personal site over to Neocities.org as well. The new (old) website is https://albourassa.neocities.org/ This website was started a very long time ago and been updated annually if it was lucky. One look at the Tripod site and I could see that it needed a ton of updates. Some of the information in the source html was really dated. I got all 4 pages switched over but then was having fun with the links between pages, and a couple of other issues. Every time I updated something I would notice another thing I had missed.

I got a request from David to meet for lunch so we made an appointment for 1pm. Cristina then decided that we had to rush in earlier with the mama Grigi and her 2 pups because all 3 might get adopted. We get to Adiela's place and they decide the dogs need a wash. I napped on the divan. At 12:45 I went alone to meet David at La Herradura where we had a nice hour-long chat. I ordered a lasagna dish, which was excellent, and a Coke for $4.25.

Then I went back to Adiela's and one couple was there inspecting one of the pups and did in fact take it home. After a bit we headed out with Grigi and the last pup to another couple that also was happy to accept these well-behaved furballs. Sadly nobody offered to take mama Grigi as well.

Grigi is such a lovable dog and I fear that she will show real separation anxiety at the loss of her puppies. She has been a very attentive Mommy up to now.

So now we have 11 dogs in the house but 2, Samantha and Bruna, are to go with their adoptive parents tomorrow.

So, after a pitstop at the cemetery I got brave and tackled the website issues again. I think I have everything nailed for now, knock on wood. That website was started probably around 2006....

Around suppertime (salad time) a ton of acrid smoke blanketed the whole town. It didn't have the usual sweet smell of a sugar cane fire. About 1.5 hours later and it is still lingering a bit. People with respiratory problems would have struggled mightily with this stench. It was enough to drive people out of town.

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