HAPPY CANADA DAY
Big day for Canadians. I've never gotten the proud to be Canadian deal. If you were born Canadian it's not at all difficult being Canadian. Happy to be Canadian I get. You have to be careful with pride, I don't know if you realize, but I don't usually put a picture on the blog, it's because at 71 I just discovered how, how proud can I be now. I'm playing a game called Free Cell, most, if not all of you know the game, I play 1000 games and then compare my statistics to the last 1000 I played. I do it to see if I'm getting smarter as I get older or more stupider. I've played 993 games of my third 1000 and it's not looking good, in fact I'm going to finish worse in 6 of 11 categories. 😟 Not only that, did any of you guys know that the cap on a Tim Horton's cup has a little flap that folds back and clips in place so you can drink with the cap in place, new knowledge for this brainiac. I cut myself a bit of slack because I don't drink coffee . Before you go on thinking I spend an awful lot of time on Free Cell, my average time playing a game is under 5 minutes, so that's 5000 minutes or about 83 hours. There are 3 goals each day i.e. 1. win game # 43521 in 110 moves or less, 2. win two random games and 3. fill the free cells with 5's then win the game. Sometimes you can finish all goals in 1 game and you're done for the day. I started this last 1000 August 19, 2021 so I spend on average, less than 15 minutes a day. Also, I've been lucky so far, the computer hasn't given me the game that can't be won.👍 These little emojis are adding a lot of time to my posting, I better close out so you get this today. Have a great Canada Day.🎆 ( I don't know, do those look like fireworks to you)

Hi Louise and Dave,
I've been reading your birthday wishes and it came to my mind that they are a little like mom's cakes. Individuality made for each person, show a great deal of talent and often enjoyed as much by others as by the recipient. Well done.
I have always watched The Open and it's more special when held in St. Andrews and now that I have walked the course it's even more interesting to watch. The bonus is I can start watching the live action as soon as I wake in the morning. I imagine Dave will be involved in some way and I will keep my eye out for him. The players are having a good go at it so far, lets see if Mother Nature has anything to do about that over the next three days.
Have a great day
Loved
👩❤️👨Well, thank you very much, Edward. That is an amazing comparison you make of our greetings💌 to Mom’s cakes🎂. I’m honoured!💕
⛳️Action at the Open continues today. You’re right, the Scottish weather is a player, too☔️. David is on the afternoon shift today and has been assigned to show spectators to their seats in the stands on hole 17🧢. He’ll be hard to spot simply because the cameras are mostly focused on the golfers themselves🏌🏻♂️ - and so they should be.
📹I do have a Sky News clip that I’ll try to forward to you in your email, just for fun. During the practice days, Sky News was turning over its news desk to anyone willing to read their message on the teleprompter🧑🏻💻. Readers were allowed to tack on a personal message at the end🎈. Dave volunteered on July 12th and Sky later sent him a copy of his ‘performance’. 👍
🏴All is well here. Enjoy the TV coverage of the Open⛳️. As you say, it’s fun to watch it happening on familiar ground.🏡
💕Hugs,
Louise and Dave
I agree with Loved about your birthday wishes, Lucy. I look forward to each one and although I don't comment on them I think they are wonderful. I hope you keep doing them. They are very much appreciated.
Love, BJ
👋Thanks for saying so, BJ. As you know, Dave and I enjoy celebrating special occasions in the lives of family and friends💕. Ed’s Edition gives us a convenient place to post timely greetings with ease💌. It’s our pleasure!🏡

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“But the love of sisters needs no words. It does not depend on memories, or mementos, or proof. It runs as deep as a heartbeat. It is as ever-present as a pulse.”
—Lisa Wingate
Happy Birthday!
Love and more love,
Mary Ellen & Bob
