Randon Friday Five...

Linking with Nancy at Random Five Friday!

Well it is Friday... Yah...time for Random Five Friday...

1. It was a short week....as Monday -  Canada celebrated Canada Day...

 2. The down size of the long weekend was that we spent it working and never got to enjoy the beautiful warm weekend...I feel like I missed the holiday!!

 3.  Today the Calgary Stampeded opened it gates...
the flood waters that covered that area didn't stop the The Greatest Show on Earth!
As a child growing up in Calgary we never missed a parade for the Calgary Stampede!

 

4. Looking forward to this weekend...not to much on our agenda...  

markets...friends coming to town...

 5.  It was another week I didn't have my camera out ....

I never posted the last set of GD 2's pictures...

I used her pictures for this Random Friday's Post! 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy Friday to you!!

Here are my Five....

1. I found some great natural deodorant!! Hand made from LUSH!
You can Powder or a Bar of it.

2. We had one day of steady hard rain...when I went out of the Condo for a walk when the rain stopped....this is what the parking lot looked like!

3. The wading pools at the Parliament buildings where all opened this week...

4. Did you know that whole canned tomatoes are held to a higher standard in the canning process...diced tomatoes are basically left over pieces and parts...

5. The High Level Bridge celebrated it's 100th Birthday this spring!

Quilt.... final step...

I had a pattern for my quilt...and was worried about the border.
I had made the quilt one row bigger so I was not sure if I could get the border to fit properly...but it worked out fine..

One last thing to do...is the quilting...
I am going to hand quilt it and went with a hoop instead of a quilting frame...
then I can quilt when and where ever!

 It's been taking me about an hour a square to quilt... won't take to long..................

Miscellany Monday

Happy Monday Morning to you!!

I have been enjoying my city walks... 

I love that we live downtown and I can go for walks...

And leave the busyness of the city and find peace and quiet
in a country setting just down a path ....in the middle of the city.

These walks are my favourite time of the day..

 

This weekend Grandson 4 did a 10KM run in the city with his younger cousin...

it was a beautiful day to be out to watch a run...

Some take running very serious!!

Grandson 3 celebrated his birthday this weekend..
14 years of birthdays!!

Those of you in Canada would know about the flooding in our province...

but for those of you who live South of us... 

The southern part of our province has had devastating floods...

Here is a picture of the City of Calgary downtown....

picture off the internet

 A number of cities and towns have had been hit hard with flood waters!

I believe it's a reminder...that we are not in control...

It makes you stop and think...what is important....

Hope you all enjoy the first week of summer!.

The above picture is another one of my Granddaughter 2 pictures...

Watch for another post of her pictures this week!
