HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister JANE
Jane & my family will be joining me later this afternoon for a BBQ Birthday Party at my place. I've got things set up inside and outside, so if it's raining or super humid, we can be inside (we usually end up doing parts inside and parts outside.)
When we lived on Rebecca Street, right up until it was just my mom living there, we always did a BBQ for Jane's birthday. I lived in an apartment building in those days. Now I live in a house and my mom and sisters all live in apartments. Kim gave me the BBQ a few years ago, so about 4-5 years ago, I brought back the annual family BBQ for Jane's Birthday.
My leg has been a bit stubborn last few days. I have been preparing for the party inside and out so likely that was the culprit. It's nothing like 2 months ago, so I am thankful for that.
Scribbles.co will feature more about Jane's Birthday soon.
Happy [Number Deleted] Birthday Sister Jane. Love you lots.
Toodles!

I'm a Proud Canadian!
For the most part, Canada is still a country made up of kind, caring people. We're a "love thy neighbour" kinda place.
Of course there's always tragic exceptions who are far from kind or neighbourly. But for every one of these horrible people we hear of in the news & social media, there's countless kind acts happening across our grand country.
People doing nice things for their family, their friends, their community, even a total stranger. They don't do it to get in the headlines or get hits on their website. They do it because it is the decent thing to do. Hell many of these kind souls don't want any fuss or recognition at all. Instead they anonymously keep the joy of their kind act between them and those they help.
Canada still has more people who are kind & caring and embrace our diversity, than those who do not. I truly believe this and it is one of the many reasons I am proud to be a Canadian.
HAPPY CANADA DAY EVERYONE!!
Don't forget to enter our I LIKE CANADA BECAUSE...CONTEST.
Tell us your answer and we will put you in our draw for a Canada Mini Mr. Sock, an Original Mini Mr. Sock, Scribbles keytag & a cool Canada keychain...a store bought prize...ohh,la, laaa! LOL

Scribbles REVIEW | DCT's Original Production 'Next' Has All the Feels
PHOTOS COUTESY: KIM PAPPLE, DCT WEBSITE, DCT 'NEXT' PROGRAMME, SCRIBBLES
It's always enjoyable for me to take something you did and turn it into a post for Scribbles.co or my Facebook page. But it's extra special to see my words featured in OTHER places.
Take this one for example...As I have enthusiastically and repeatedly mentioned, on June 15 my sister Kim and I went to Dunnville to watch the DCT production 'Next'. I wrote a review with lots of pix for Scribbles.co.
I was happy to oblige and delighted to see my comments featured in the paper's review.
I can't include a link to the review because Facebook blocks Canadian's from sharing news stories. If you Google Haldimand Press and go to their website, you can find the full story.
But if you just want to hear what I wrote... here it is:
From The Haldimand Press, Valerie Posthumus' review of 'Next' featured in the paper's June 20th edition.
"On June 14, 2024 the Dunnville Community Theatre opened their hilariously funny and moving production of their “home grown play” entitled ‘Next’.
... Ken Leavoy attended the production and had this to say after the show: “My, my, my Delilah, a delicious meal, a touching storyline with nods to local hotspots, and a stellar cast. DCT’s homegrown production ‘Next’ checks all the boxes. A must see for theatre fans.”
WOO HOO... I'm famous now!! LOL!!
