Edmontonian, wifey, grandma, former Winnipegger, ebike owner, winter acoustic fat-tire bike rider & known cookie pusher. Retired & living the dream. I’m nice, not sweet. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. ESTJ🇨🇦
I’m still pissed off that he mused about making 🇨🇦 the 51st state.
Wellington bridge (re) construction over the Ramsay Ravine this afternoon.
Newsom isn't at a loss of insults when it comes to Trump
If you need someone to foster one of these at my home, I’d be willing to because we’re friends.😬
I’m working on another “Buddies” canoe. It’s a series very close to my heart. It will be available🛶
Tulips on the table = spring is near.
Also saw two canada geese heading north this morning! No pic of them, you’ll have to take my word for it.
My pop’s birthday today, helluva guy, even went to Europe in WWll! Even though he’s been gone almost 33 years, I still think of him most days.
He’d be shocked at what’s happening in the states and even here in Alberta for that matter with threats of separation & our premier pontificating about it.
From scratch, gluten free confetti angel food cake. Holy moly it did some major puffing up in the oven!
It has leveled off since being removed from the pan. Whew.
Patio cushions, rugs, shingles, flashing, siding, a kazillion twigs & a few branches.
Things I saw on my walk this am after the big wind storm yesterday.
Local magpies have been carefully dismantling a large nest in the hood the last few weeks. The wind took down the last of it! Curious if they’ll salvage the sticks for their new build.
Even on Friday when we did the BIG WALK, my glasses (and I’m sure the rest of me) was a speckled mess!
We drove over it yesterday. It was especially splashy. We tend to avoid crossing it on foot on windy days!
How windy is it in Edmonton right now?
Well, there’s whitecaps on the puddles.
Colin Jost is excellent as Pete Hegseth. Well done SNL.
Wow they look awesome!
Well, you’ll have practice!
Haha love it! I was lucky that I didn’t need “computer glasses” while I was still working.
No wonder I hate using the ‘puter at home now.
When you pull off your glasses to do something that needs “up close” attention & you walk away and end up wandering around the house looking for your glasses afterward.
That.👵🏻
This right here.⬇️
Big walk of over 20kms to run an errand south to 33Av. Dodged puddles & splashing cars. Stopped at Shiddy’s for late lunch.
I’m tired.
20 degrees warmer than it was last Friday @coffeeoutside.bsky.social
Aww thanks M.❤️
How it started. How it finished.
50 St Patty’s Day bags gussied up with acrylic paint, felt & stickers for a few Meals on Wheels recipients!
Riding the LRT South in Edmonton I can’t help thinking of tourists who arrive at Fort Edmonton Park station expecting a park. Disappointed, they board a train back that says “Blatchford Market” for some retail therapy.
Great cities are built on great transportation systems. We should do better.
Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat
All caught up on ALL my vaccines including ‘vid, flu, hepatitis A & B and most recently, MMR.
Thank you, science.
FWIW, I still hate needles.👵🏻
Jon Stewart on Congress.💀
The husband and I were forced onto a roadway this am to go around a large hydro vac truck blocking our way…
Me: sheesh, maybe we shouldn’t have walked through his construction zone..
Mr Uptown: maybe he shouldn’t be constructing in our walking zone.
Haha don’t hold back. Tell us what you really think!😜
