The game (ornaments tossed into gift boxes, coal bucketloses points) I created for our work Christmas party. The is the best place I have ever worked. Public service does not normally get to do this type of thing. I think this will be a wonderful Christmas!

It was a great to kick off the Christmas season with @brucefanjoy.bsky.social at the Riverside Christmas parade. When Bruce promised he would show up in the community, he meant it! This guy is everywhere!

Coolest co-worker I have had to date. Welcome to the office!

Taking in a game from the ledge. Great vantage point and very cozy. Pretty fun way to spend a Monday night. #Ottawa #sens

Such a beautiful way to wake up in the morning. Canada is such an amazing country to explore with family and friends. @wendysmartin.bsky.social

Last year I planted several fruit trees. Pears, apples, plums, peaches and cherries. I also planted almonds and walnuts. It's super exciting to see the fruit starting to form. These are cherries which will be topping my cheesecake this fall. SO EXCITING!

Well that was even cooler! I got to shake Camillas hand. #royalvisit #ottawa #king #canada

Well that was pretty cool. #kingcharles #royalvisit

Last night I attended a wonderful performance of Giselle by the National Ballet. Came out to this magical scene of the peace tower. A reminder to not take our peace and our country forgranted nor forget what it took to gain it. #ottawa #canada #winterwonderland #peacetower #neverforget

Another pup to sweeten the pot

While I am here basically as a refugee. I am hoping bluesky will be about more than politics. So for my first post here is my cat. Isn't he a sweetie! #Menace #catsofbluesky #kitty #socialrevolt #abandoncebook #saynotooligarches
