HAPPY CANADA DAY
"Another day older and deeper in debt"
We'll celebrate anyway. Carol is going forward with her trip to Scotland and Lou has received long awaited information on his condition and the steps forward. I would say 23 has been an interesting year thus far. There will be plenty of celebrations across the country today, we can be thankful we live in one of the good ones.
A toast to Canada!

Congratulations on your awesome run to eight-oneðð»♂️! (Actually, ‘walk’ might be a better choice of word hereð¶♂️ but it doesn’t rhyme with 81.) Either way, Ron, you’re a winnerð;and after today you’re on your way to 82.ðšðœðŠ¯ Well done!

Even if that means taking things easy, go for itð§©. As a fellow octogenarianðµ, I’m inclined to remind you that “no matter how hard you push the envelope, it is still stationery”; (and I’m not lying.) Whew, punning is harder than runningð€!
ð€All kidding aside, Ron, this is just our way of saying “have a happy day”. Cheers!ð·ð·

Ron says:
"You're right, I'm not running.
Well done on your punning!
I think it is time
To try how you rhyme.
Nope! 'Takes too much energy.
Thanks for the great birthday greeting!"
Well done you, too, Ronð; you dug deep on that replyð. You’re welcomeð€.

Dave and I are just home from our evening out with friends.ð️ It was even more special than I imagined it would be.ð We were given the best table, in the window overlooking the 18th green with the Royal and Ancient Clubhouse ⛳️ and the long stretch of West Sands in the backgroundð. The menu was a chef’s special with three courses at a fixed priceð. I received flowers, cards and gifts; we were enjoying ourselves so much that we stayed talking and laughing long after the meal was over☕️. Thanks for thinking of me; I always feel your love across the milesð.

'So glad you had such a special celebration at that best table. I think we sat at that very table with you and Dave once upon a time. Today we drove up to Saskatoon and had lunch at Vic's house (you know how special that is!), played her brand new upright piano (what a joy) and topped it off by stopping at their casino on our way home for a couple of hours to help celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. We hope your celebrations continue today! We will celebrate today with Vic's hascap and raspberry jams and popcorn.ðð

Thank you for your bright greeting to us on this shared anniversary dayð. We have come to delight in the idea of a triple celebration happening across the milesððð ever since Amy and Cory also chose to be married on August 1st, fourteen years ago todayð.
It sounds like the two of you are already well on your way to having a great time celebrating your thirty-sixth anniversaryð. You have a wonderful way of making such special events in your lives really matterð. It sounds like your trip to Saskatoon was the very best of beginningsð. Back in Regina, Vic’s homemade jamsð§ and caramel popcornð¿ will be added treats for sure. Enjoy.ð
ð♀️You are right about the table for last night’s supper being the same one we sat at with you “once upon a time” - only the best for the bestð¥°! Those are cherished memories of some of the good times we’ve had together over the years✨.
We will happily make tonight’s anniversary toast a triple; hip, hip, hooray.ð¥ð¥
