YOU | Ready for Summer
We wish we had a before photo to show you. Lorenzo's yard looked very differently before his landscaping and new patio designing.
Completing home projects can make us happy as our friend demonstrates here.
No wonder you're chillin' with a cold beverage in your souvenir New York glassware Lorenzo...you earned it!

KIDS | She's Not "Berry" Happy
 |
| PHOTO COLLAGE BY MANDY DICK |
We usually see our pal Em laughing and being happy. But here's proof that sometimes she's not. In fact, she can really put some brilliant melodrama in to it as we see here.
As her mother Mandy said, "Em isn't exactly a big fan of trying anything new. This was a strawberry milkshake. lol... I made strawberry creamsicles with the rest. Hopefully I'll have better luck than daddy"
LOL, this is quite the collage Mandy, a good one to hang on to for Em's wedding reception.

FATHER'S DAY FEATURE | Poetry
My Dad
When I was just a tiny kid,
Do you remember when,
The time you kissed my bruises,
Or cleaned by soiled chin?
You scrambled for the balls I hit,
(Short-winded more than not,)
Yet, every time we'd play a game,
You praised the "outs" I caught.
It seems like only yesterday,
You wiped away my tears,
And late at night I called your name,
To chase away my fears.
Though time has changed your handsome grip,
Your hair is snowy white,
You gait's a little slower now,
Thick glasses help your sight.
Oh, do I thirst for years gone by,
To be that growing lad,
Re-living all of the memories,
Of growing with my dad.

PICTURE PERFECT | Carolynn R. Wiens Photography
Carolynn, it was nice to see you again last weekend at Pride in the Park (even though it was a brief but sun kissed encounter.) Thanks for allowing me to repost your photos.

There were vendors, live bands, drag performances and a licensed area to enjoy a refreshing beverage or two.
In an attempt to reclaim their spot in the Guinness Book of World Records, members of Niagara and surrounding region's LGBTQ communities took to the stage with over 60 drag queens and kings performing a 5 minute routine. This was a major success, despite a last minute plea for more people to join the crowd on stage.
I attended the event with my neighbour Deanna Gilligan and we hung out at the Lezbian Lounge, a booth operated by Carrie n' Sandi Mcpaddy where you could purchase jewelry and other pride-related goodies.
We each came home with large bags filled with swag, which we collected while checking out the various vendors. Everyone from artists to politicians were represented at the vendors booths.
Pride in the Park was part of Niagara's Pride Week, the most successful one to date. It had kicked off with a dance the week before at the new Meridian Centre, Pride flag-raising's across the region, rainbow lights at Niagara Falls, the 2nd annual Unity Awards featuring a performance by renown Toronto entertainer Miss Conception and a Wrap Up party after the park event.
Here's a new Scribbles Video highlighting Pride in the Park.
