AFTER MY SOURDOUGH ‘FAIL’ LAST MONTH I FINALLY FOUND THE COURAGE TO TRY MY HAND AT A COUPLE OF LOAVES OF WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.

SO WE WERE JUST HEADING BACK HOME WHEN WHEN ALL THE CARS AND TRUCKS JUST CAME TO A DEAD STOP….

“OH, IF ONLY I HAD MY GOOD CAMERA!”   IF I SAID THAT PHRASE ONCE….

THE RAIN CHANGED FROM A TORRENT TO A SOFT MIST SO AFTER BREAKFAST WE DECIDED TO VENTURE OUT OF OUR COZY CABIN AND ENDED UP AT MALIGNE CANYON.

WHEN I HEARD THAT ACCOMMODATIONS IN JASPER, ALBERTA, WERE ONLY 40% CAPACITY BECAUSE OF BORDER RESTRICTIONS DUE TO COVID I ASKED TERRY IF HE THOUGHT WE MIGHT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND HAVE A WEE CHANGE OF SCENERY FOR A FEW DAYS

WHAT FORMS US?

OUR PARENTS? OUR FRIENDS? ENVIRONMENT? ALL OF THE FORMER FOR SURE.

WHEN WE HAD TO CUT OUR TOUR SHORT THIS PAST MARCH DUE TO COVID WE STILL HAD THE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE OF PERFORMING IN EVERY SINGLE PROVINCE IN OUR CANADA.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR WEEKS AND WEEKS ON MY LATEST PAINTING.

FOR FATHER’S DAY THIS YEAR TERRY DECIDED TO WRITE A SONG. 

HAPPY SUNDAY! LET’S SPREAD SOME LOVE TODAY! 

THIS MORNING I READ ABOUT LIGHTENING STRIKES KILLING OVER 100 IN NORTHERN INDIA.

HAVE YOU EVER WALKED THROUGH THE ALLEYS?  I ENJOY THIS AS A DIVERSION FROM WALKING ALONG THE BUSY STREETS. 

WHILE OUT OF MY WALK YESTERDAY I WAS THINKING ABOUT GARBAGE.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN A FAN OF GARDEN GNOMES. I AM STILL QUITE AMAZED AT HOW MANY OF THESE WEE FELLOWS I STILL SEE DECORATING THE FRONT LAWNS (AND WINDOWS!) AROUND MY NEIGHBOURHOOD.

A LOT OF FUN THINGS GOING ON LATELY IN AND AROUND FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND.

SENDING MY LOVE OUT TO ALL THE GOOD FATHERS OUT THERE WHO MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OUR FAMILIES.

Me: Hello God.

God: Hello…

Me: I’m falling apart. Can you put me back together?

AS EDMONTON’S COVID NUMBERS START TO RISE AGAIN IT BECOMES IMPERATIVE THAT WE REMAIN DILIGENT IN OUR ANTI-PANDEMIC PROCEDURES. 

WHAT SPILLS OUT WHEN LIFE GETS TOUGH? 

UNLIKE YESTERDAY , IT’S A RAINY, COLD DAY.  ON DAYS LIKE THIS IT’S ALL ABOUT THE COMFORT FOOD!
