I’ve been wondering how you were doing. The rain here has been in sheets last night and part of the day. Then the wind came up this afternoon and was a doozie. Have been expecting a power cut all evening but we’re OK!

Wow. Vancouver also has a lovely Japanese Garden, the Nitobe Memorial Garden. A must visit if you’re ever in Vancouver.

So nice to see…Dogs definitely make emotional attachments like humans. Our Doodlegirl had a bestie when she was young - they would play for hours together, ignoring all the other dogs in the park!

Well now, I think @beachpebblegirl.bsky.social has been experiencing a real ‘doister’ while @11tulips.bsky.social is a ‘book-bosomer’. Who’s been ‘twanging’ today? And who claims ’flapdoodler’?

It doesn’t matter what you read as a young child - the passion is imprinted and I advanced to the ‘orange penguins’ in my young teens. They’re still going…with modern classics.
