May May and I went up to see the memorial for Jack Layton. We watched as his hearse was driving away and then took a picture of the flag at half mast. Jack you will missed.

Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we will change the world. Jack Layton.
This is Marek's son who fell in love with May May immediately. He is such a cutie, seems like yesterday he was just a toddler and now he is in grade 4. He was reading a really good book called "The diary of a wimpy kid". Enjoy!

The lady who works down the street just got back from vacation and May May was very excited to see her.

While sitting in the park yesterday I thought I was being watched and sure enough a gentlemen was taking my picture and then when Mike and Sue showed up he also took pictures of them and all the dogs. Thank you very much for taking the pictures. I wish someone would have told me my hat was on almost backwards!

Had to go to Preston Hardware one day last week so we stopped in to see our old friend Darrel, he was very impressed with May May's weight loss. It was nice to see you again and hope your sidewalk sale went well.

I put May May's hat on Maggie and she was not impressed!
Funny sign in front of Justy's office on Elgin Street.

Danial and May May in the park. We are going to miss him and Emile as they are moving soon.
Darn, it is always the nice ones that move. We will miss you.

Seen these flowers on the way home and especially liked the striped flowers.


Art in the park at Strathcona Park. It was a very hot day for all the vendors there, they had some beautiful art. A shot of people walking across the river, that area is always quite low but due to the lack of rain it was especially low.



This dog was having a delightful time swimming in the river fetching the ball that was being thrown to him.


While at Strathcona Park last Sat, I took pictures of the lovely ducks that were so abundant. As you can see they came very close to the people.

Very proud new grandparents! They are just beaming all the time. Their new granddaughter is called Clara, what a beautiful old fashioned name. Bubba decided he had to get up and be in the picture too. Bubba is moving and we are going to miss him and his mom.



While at the park the other day this group of young people were making a musical video for their website, they brought along their dog who took great interest in May May. I hope they look at this and then let me know where I can find their website I would love to see it.

Chance trying to raid the treats cupboard, she managed to get the container of cat nip down but she couldn't get it open.




More pictures from the visit of Kate and William taken from other peoples cameras. The lady I am sitting with is from Carleton Place I believe. Thanks goodness it was a nice day as we were o0ut there for a long time.

This was my day at the Governor Generals to see Kate and William. There was a long line just to get in the grounds and over a two hour wait and when they came by they went so fast the photo was a blur. These two girls got to meet Kate and shake her hand.
My Linda came back. My bath lady was on vacation for two weeks and they sent Linda in as her replacement. We really missed you Linda and it was so nice to see you.
This lady was taking to May May at the hot dog stand.

This was the lady in Kanata who trimmed May May and she looks so cute. It is easier getting the injection of insuln in her with her fur trimmed.
There was quite a fire in one of the units across the street, I missed the flames shooting out but got this shot of the water being used. Apparently a women was smoking with her oxygen tank on. Wow!
This is Happy with her daughter Mia. Happy was not much older that Mia when I first started giving her rides on my scooter and taking her to the library to get books to read. My how fast they grow up.

Here I am with Evan Solomen (who I adore) and the Minister of Heritage who would be giving the introductory speech to Kate and William on Canada Day. So nice to meet you Evan.



Jeanne carved this beautiful statue. This was a special mass for it.
A film was being shot at the Lord Elgin hotel, it is September runs red and should be out sometime next year.
This is the guy who owns the coffee shop up the street, one of his workers painted the new sign. It is a beautiful piece of art.

Jeanne feeding Chance and getting down on the floor to be closer to May May.
May May with Ben who is from Australia, he came to our art group a few times but I am not sure if he is coming back or not.
Aw, May May loves Kevin.
This doggy had a shave except for his face, how cute!
