Country Corner donuts

 Stopped at the donus shop to see if there is any progress. I can see that the door to the back is now closed. As with last time, the inner space is stripped of counters and tables. I noticed that there is a stack of new metal vents in the corner, but looking back at my photos from May, I see that they were already there four months ago. 

Grocery day

 One change since I retired is that I am doing more of the grocery shopping. Beginning around the start of covid, Margaret was doing shopping for her parents as well as us, so it was generally more efficient that she shop and I don't. However, that era is over and I now have more time. 
Today, I noticed these cookies. They likely tast the same as regular cookies but they are more interesting because they are hot wheels. I guess kids need more incentives to eat cookies than back in my day. I recall when the cookie was its own reward. 

Lots of rain

 Rained like crazy. I stopped by the Motherwell house and found the street deep and a log floating down it. 

Nuit Blanche

 Lots of fun in park tonight. Weather was perfect. Rebekah and Dani did a cool workshop that we spend lots of time at. Matt Ripplinger and Allan Dotson both did interesting projection pieces. 

Cards with mom

 Spent some time with mom. Played some cards then went and sat out front for a few minutes to take in the warmth. Mom took a picture of me. 

Mona Navaei Roshandel's MFA exhibition

 We attended the closing reception for Mona's MFA exhibition at the Fifth Parallel. I had been expected all photos, but there was more video and installation. Well designed. Nice event. 

Fly

 Fly has taken ownership of the swatter.
