Sent a picture of my three cats together to my family group chat, and one of my kids pointed out that it looks like Shyloh (on the right) is wearing a hat. Just an optical illusion with the stuff at the back of the couch. The next picture was my son-in-law’s interpretation.

I guess I've played some disc golf this year.

I love all the disc golf dogs. This one is Bitsy. Not mine, but I wish she was. She's a sweetie.

I love playing “guess that thing” when Amazon items come up on my feed.

Playing in a tournament on a golf course. The tee pad for one hole was right behind a large water hazard and the basket was on the far left. I debated avoiding the hazard and throwing to the right (left was a mando) or going for it. I went for it and THEN sunk my next shot 120 feet for the eagle!

Glow disc league at the beautiful Raptor’s Knoll Disc Golf Course in Aldergrove, B.C. (No. 2 rated course in Canada.)

My new favourite thing to do: Glow disc golf. Hope I don't trip in a hole and break my ankle.
