Gone Fishing!
…not really
I’ll be at the cottage for a few days so you won’t see any new posts after tomorrow until Saturday or Sunday. As many of you know I have no internet or electricity. Hopefully we’ll have some nice days but regardless it always nice to get away.
Here is a recent photo of our granddaughter catching her first fish. The photo was taken by her Mom. Boy do I miss these guys.

The Evolution of the Birthday Cake
…thanks to Becky B. for hosting Square Perspective
On Day 27 I decided to show how the birthday cake (daughter-in-law’s birthday) evolved from candles to plate.
Lens Artist Photo Challenge – Summer
….thanks to Amy for hosting this week’s Lens Artist Photo Challenge
Summer is different this year. So far I’ve spent all of it in the city. I miss the Island and hope to get up there soon.
Even lawn bowling looks different this year.

Friendly Friday – Nostalgia
…thanks to Amanda for hosting this week’s Friendly Friday
Everyone once in awhile Facebook or my Photo Stream appear on my phone and remind me of events that took place in the past. It seems that I have done a most of my travelling in July which isn’t really unusual because the summer was the only time I could get away as a teacher.
Here are a few of my favourite moments from the past.
My husband when I first met him in 1972.

Cee’s Friday Funny Finds – June 26, 2020
…thanks to Cee for hosting Friday Funny Finds
My 4 1/2 year old granddaughter is writing a book about pirates. When I asked her who the main characters were she told me Captain Raw Salmon and Captain Wasabi. Have you guessed that she loves sushi.
I told her I would try to come up with some sketches of these two characters. Here is my first attempt.
When I inquired further about the story line I was told it included Purple Palm trees, jungles, swimming snakes, a jaguar and a treasure chest. Oh I almost forgot….biting crabs.
When she saw the drawings I asked her if there was anything else I should add. She told me to send them to her and she would add more detail. Not sure if that is a compliment or a not. I love four year olds.
Friendly Friday – Summer Traditions
,,,thanks to Sandy for hosting this week’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge
Summer traditions may be on hold this year as we’re still not allowed to go to the cottage. Hopefully we’ll hear in the next few days when Christian Island opens up to lessee holders. When it does there will be quite a few restrictions, like no friends and only immediate family will be allowed on the ferry.
Having said that we’re still able to barbeque in the backyard and go for walks through the parks. Some of these photos are from years past.
