This past December we said goodbye to our cat Molly, aged 15-17yrs. The reason for the discrepancy in the age was because when we got her from the shelter in 1999, the vet estimated that she was be between 1 and 3 yrs old.

For Canada Day this year, I decided to go to the city’s party at Celebration square. When we got there, we hooked up with some friends and went to check out what was happening. The biggest attraction was the concert, but unless you were sitting right at the front, it did not hold your attention because the sound was not that great. Up in the … Continue reading Canada Day 2013
