Our favorite "chicken" park often has random items left there.  Not sure where they come from.  Today it was a pile of children's books.  So we climbed in the truck cab (this park has everything - basketball courts, chickens, a big mailbox, art to interact with, a flower garden, a water fountain, two playgrounds, and an old pick-up truck) for story time, which was more of steering wheel fun time...

After several days of eating home cooked dinners and after cancelling our date night with Poppy, I was not in the mood to cook.  Ma'onos at Rachel's has outdoor seating, perfect!

Pretty sunset.  Feeling cruddy, no walk with Mom tonight.

Our neighbors get more intersting deliveries than we do.  Sunday paper, but didn't get to reading it today.

Bruce is sick this week so I am doing all the domestic things.  Including setting dish towels on fire.  Oops!

 Here I am at the dentist again.  I loath every part of it, especially when work is so busy.

 Hanging out with the car big cats (rawr!) at Wendy's.  Tuesday night date night, dinner and a playground.

Enjoying the night market in Richmond.

The Richmond Night Market (in Richmond, BC, just south of Vancouver) is one of the largest and most chaotic night markets in North America. It’s loud, crowded, neon‑lit, food‑obsessed, and extremely fun if you like sensory overload. It’s basically a mashup of a Taiwanese night market + Pacific Northwest food festival. Expect long lines and extremely photogenic small bites.
