A picture of June, my Mother-In-Law of 40 years. She was in care, as she couldn't look after herself, due to #Alzheimers and #dementia. In the photo, she is holding one of the lovely cats who roamed the hallways of Zion Park Manor, in #SurreyBC, where June was lovingly cared for. She was a lovely lady, who, right to the end, looked upon me as the son she never had... and we all miss her dearly. #AlzheimersSucks
The Imagine Surrey team was out in force at the Cloverdale Rodeo parade, this morning! We handed out candy to kids of all ages... and dog treats to all the dogs, and one library... gopher?!? It was a hoot, a holler, and a half!
Seth Meyers wearing a wig, on Late Night with Seth Meyers, looking, in my opinion, as a Bob Ross doppelganger.
A new barbeque, freshly assembled, and (other than a propane tank being connected) is ready to go!

Out for a night of fun, with Myria LeNoir, at Drag Queen Bingo, in support of #SurreyPride.
Imagine Surrey is the team to take #SurreyBC into the future! Other contenders want to stick with the status quo, or dwell in the past. Mike Starchuk and his diverse, qualified, and dynamic team are set to address what Surrey needs to move into the future. In October, please vote #ImagineSurrey! In the video are images from the Imagine Surrey launch party... showing the energy, and vision, these Candidates have for their city.
Margie and Violet... two black cat sisters... basking in the March sunshine, in woven wicker baskets. Outside the second story window, is a bird feeder, hanging in the upper branches of an ornamental cherry tree.
In Surrey, BC, Mayoral candidate Mike Starchuk and his Imagine Surrey Team, have a comprehensive plan to address and deal with the ongoing Extortion Crisis, gripping the City. The image is a Surrey Police Service vehicle, and the words: "News Release: Imagine Surrey lays out plan to crush extortion" Along side this is the Imagine Surrey logo. Imagine Surrey in a new civic slate, for the 2026 Surrey, BC municipal election, in October.
Bailey the cat, being helpful while installing built in speakers. The black and white tuxedo cat is perched on the second to top step of a rickety wooden ladder... and is completely ready and willing to do electrical wiring.
A tweet to another user, responding to the President of the United State's assertion, that the US did not bomb the Iranian Children's school, killing around 150 kids. The actual text is based on the playground chant, "Liar, liar... pants on fire."

An orange sunset, because of the forest fire smoke, but we are here in Pitt Meadows, in Spirit Square, enjoying the fantastic musicians of Double Overtime Band. Thank you, Pitt Meadows Council for putting on the Summer Serenade Concert Series, now in its 15th year!
The Summer Serenade Concert series, in Pitt Meadows, at Spirit Square, every Wednesday at 7pm... all summer long!
An outdoor chandelier, made of tin tea and coffee pots, hangs in a cherry tree, with blue sky showing in the background.
The Summer Serenade Concert series, presents different musical groups, in various genres, every Wednesday (weather permitting) in July and August. Held at beautiful Spirit Square, in Pitt Meadows

Bob wearing a green shirt, on Green Shirt Day, when we remember the Humboldt Broncos bus crash, and how Broncos player, Logan Boulet, was able to help so many organ recipients, because he was an organ donor.

Picture of Bailey, a black and white, domestic short-haired cat, resting on a stack of towels.
The Canadian flag hanging out in front of my house. In the background, it shows a snowy neighbourhood in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. It is unusual for this area to get snow, let alone, for that snow to stay for an extended period... but climate change affects us all!
Picture of Margie the black cat, lounging on a black upholstered IKEA chair. On the back of the chair is an old woolen blanket, from Scotland, woven in the tartan pattern from the Clan Buchanan. The colours are dark blue, deep green, bright yellow, and red, woven in crossing stripes of colour.

A black and white domestic short-haired cat, perched on top of a high stack of freshly-laundered sheets and towels. Bailey had an asymmetrical face, and a VERY sweet disposition. He would, with his brother, come running to the door, when we came home. He was VERY food motivated, whereas his brother was not... so Barnum stayed skinny, and Bailey became a CHONK. (A term denoting an overly large cat.) The funny thing was, he LOOKED so much chunkier than he was, because he had quite short legs. This picture is in support of the hashtag Caturday.
A picture of my phone's lock screen image. The picture on my phone is a sleeping orange cat. He has a mis-formed ear, no teeth, and a barely visible scar on his nose... all from his former owners who mis-treated and abused him. The kind folks at Katie's Place (a no-kill cat shelter) saved him, and knew we would love him... and they were right. He was the most gentle soul, and we loved him for the two years we had him, until his tiny body gave up. He was gorgeous.
A computer screen with a slowly-loading task-completion progress bar. In front of the screen is a half-full bottle of Crown Royal Blackberry whisky. The amount of time it is taking to retrieve the files from an old almost-dead harddrive is frustrating. The frustration is being mitigated by the Crown Royal Blackberry. Spoiler Alert: it is a delicious sipping whisky, made in Canada!
Black cat Violet, looking back over her shoulder, as the photo is taken. Happy Caturday!
In the two large trees outside our house, every Christmas, we put large 12" wire balls, each containing, and wrapped in, numerous strands of Christmas lights. It is tremendously gratifying to hear the comments from neighbours, and passers-by, who are appeciative of the display. There are about 20 something balls in the two trees. Shining a little light of love in Pitt Meadows, BC.
Violet the black cat, trying desperately to look at ANYTHING but the camera. Violet is sporting a purple collar, lilac bell, and mucho attitude.
Violet the black cat, remaining on my lap, where I am trapped on my bed, unable to move.
Violet the black cat is lying on my jean-covered legs, getting rubbies... which is why her dandruff is bad. Once she gets up, she will get brushies. In the meantime, I am suffering from mouthful/snootful of kitty fluffies.
Violet the all black fur, domestic short hair cat, says hello!
The Toronto Maple Leafs are down two to nothing, in the first few minutes of the Hockey Night in Canada NHL game. #LeafsSuck
A close-up photo of Violet, an all black domestic short-haired cat, sitting on my lap, while reclining on our bed. Violet's ears are indicating her displeasure, as I stopped giving her scritches, and so she is looking at me, indicating that I should put down the phone, and get back to kitty scritching. #SpoilerAlert: I did
Bailey the black and white cat, standing on one of the upper rungs of a wooden step ladder.
A lit up Santa dirigible, being bullied by the wind, as a West Coast storm front blew through today. Power outages, trees down, and Santa... on my!
