Thumbs up to the Barillas and their flower garden. Had a couple from Winnipeg stop in Kerreen’s and ask about it and ask who tended it, plus I know numerous grad pictures were taken thereI so think they need a thumbs up.

A second one to the Rotary for bringing the RCMP Musical Ride. What a great show they put on and well done by Rotary.

The other day, I got out of bed a little after four o’clock in the morning and wandered into the kitchen. There was a beam of light showing at the horizon and suddenly I heard a robin announcing a new day. This was certainly an early bird singing in a new morning. Even though it had been a rough night with rain and wind, it did not keep the bird from starting the day with a song in it’s heart.

Homebodies - Not a goodbye, but a thank you

The old saying goes like this: “There are three sides to every story—your side, my side and the truth.” In view of some of the things that happened this past week, I’d like to reword that saying to read: “There are three sides to every tragedy—the facts we hear, see or read; the speculation created by those who think they know why the events took place; and then the truth.”

My Perspective - From the comfort of your couch

Thanks to modern technology, from the comfort of my couch, I can take a drive down the Champs-Élysées, through Times Square or past Stonehenge. This is all because of Google’s Street View images, which work with Google Maps to provide 360° images of locations around the world.
