Good morning all!
Tomorrow is Happy Rescue Day ( 5th month Anniversary! ) for Frankie Feathers!

On June 20th ( yes, Father's Day ) , DH found this wee lump of a mostly featherless bird on our walkway and since then he has hopped his way ( a lame leg ) into our home and hearts.




He is still here driving the 2 cats crazy.





I figured I'd post this today in case I get distracted tomorrow.

Just wanted to pop in to wish everyone a great weekend

Nice to see Frankie!

Hello, all!

Moping a bit, not being able to go to our nephew's wedding reception. It was nice to be able to watch the ceremony online, it was here at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral. My BIL, the nephew's uncle, concelebrated with the parish priest, who is also a family friend.
So my husband has gone, and our son, too.

About my son... when he was over here earlier in the week, he told me he was wondering how he would feel at this wedding, knowing there were a few people he did not want to see... When he was in elementary school, he was bullied on the school bus and at school by two boys - the two older brothers of the woman my nephew married today. Yup, bullying leaves its mark for a lifetime, Milan is 30.
At the time, the bus driver knew, it was reported to the teacher and principal - since it was not a one time instance. Nothing was done until I called the mom directly - not that it went anywhere, she didn't believe her little angels would be mean to anyone.

I am just hoping they don't have to meet tonight...

My health is the same, similarly crappy as usual.

Take care, everyone, stay safe and find time for fun!

Hi @Natalka ! I hope your son ended up having a good time at the wedding and that everything from his childhood was all water under the bridge. People change, kids grow up

Morning gang.

Good morning!

Oh, @GoJays , that fly meme...nearly choked on my coffee! Read it to Hubby...isn't it strange how some of them just hit us as far too hilarious sometimes?

I had a fright last night! I woke to a tapping sound, like woodpecker was tapping on wood very close to the house. Tapping, silence, tapping, silence. I ignored it for a few seconds, then it started again so I pulled up a slat in our blind, nothing. We and neighbours on both sides have big security lights in our back yard, nothing was on. Even a cat can cause them to turn on!
I slid back into bed to hear Jenny panting. I patted her, then realized she didnt stop. I tried to pull the blanket off her only to discover she had somehow put her head through one on the loops in the blanket on our bed and was CHOKING!!!

I struggled to free her, then tossed it off our bed! It's one of those huge loopy blankets that became popular this year, but it'll never be on the bed or anywhere near her again! It'll likely be washed and donated.
But WHERE did that tapping come from that woke me to her struggle?!

Who would suspect something like that?! Hubby of course, slept through all the drama.

Our friends in Abbotsford are still evacuated, expecting more rain today; their home is safe so far.

@Natalka , kids are little s. Most of them grow out of it and I hope that's what happened to Milan's tormentors; unfortunately the survivors never do.
Our DD once asked our GS if he was ever bullied in school and he laughed and just said, "I'd like to see them try!" I hope Milan was able to enjoy the reception.

Hubby is 3/4 of the way painting our main floor areas "Chantilly White", such a beautiful change from taupe!

Enjoy your day, everyone! Whatever's going on, we're safe in our homes. Except for digs and loopy blankets.

@Lynn49 my heart was in my throat reading about Jenny's very near what could have been fatal choking! I am so relieved that you caught it all in time. Yup. blanket be gone! it'll serve another well I'm sure.
Interior painting under way? I for one am jealous. Makes such a fresh re-new. Enjoy your Chantilly-White coloured walls.

What a crazy start to my day. I woke up just before 10 a.m. so I've not even brewed a coffee yet. Instead I dashed down the stairs once I read the clock to uncover Frankie. DH took off before 9:30 to begin 2 visits, one to the dentist and the other for knee xrays and ultrasounds.
Last night we were enjoying the Leaf game when it hit us that neither of us had performed Frankie's nighttime ritual, so it was after 9:30 before he got his cage all covered up. DH mentioned that we should let him sleep in the next day to make up for that, so in reality my sleeping in was perfect! lol.

Hoping to go to Cineplex later this afternoon to see Ghostbusters Afterlife. Will depend on DH's sleep barometer. No point going if he is going to doze off halfway through it. We have to head out that way to buy more meal worms anyways, so fingers crossed we see the flick.

Carry on as if it's NOT a Monday, those days bring many down.

@walkonby , if there hadn't been a knock-knock-knocking somewhere, I wouldn't even have been aware of her breathing!!! Our fur and feather babies, huh? So precious to us.

I'm still staying away from movie theatres, but I can't wait until ENCANTA comes to Disney+! I really want to see it...loved the Coco one and The Book of Life...this one looks even better!!

Only one wall left to paint! Boy the kids will be shocked when we invite them over for dinner or just Prosecco and appys and they realize they have that weekend free that they've put aside to "help" my Hubby paint, lol!! I can't wait!!

Sweet evening, everyone!
