up early again… no doubt tomorrow I will want to sleep in… 

another serendipitous moment when I peeked out the patio doors and caught sight of this beautiful goldfinch having breakfast at the feeder, on this overcast/rainy day… 

put on those big girl pants and drove around the Perimeter to get to my daughter’s place… we went shopping before the family birthday party for the middle grandson and his daddy…

picked up new swimsuits for everyone to have here for the hot tub and one for me to leave at their house for their new hot tub…

tested out the hot tub, and both it, and the new swimsuit, were great…

also picked up a Canada Day t-shirt…

my older daughter encouraged me a few years ago to have an appropriate shirt on Canada Day so I’ve been doing that…

after supper the birthday boys blew out the candles on a Blizzard Cake from Dairy Queen…

drove home and got a shot of two more hibiscus flowers… 

quite a fun day, even if I am exhausted, lol…
