It's finally raining! It's not nearly enough, but it's something! 🎉

Who locally needs a timeline cleanse from wildfires and evacuation alerts and orders? Doggy daycare celebrated the summer weather today!

Can we please get some freaking rain??? And a lot of it???

I really hate complaining about fantastic summer weather. But we desperately need a solid week of rain. The entire province does, really. The current forest fires (and potential for more) is so unsettling - worse for those directly affected of course.

We had a great time, and ended up spending all afternoon together! 😁

I just made plans to meet my 2nd cousin in person for the first time tomorrow! She's a dual-citizen and recently moved here. 😃

Just watched Ozzy's funeral procession on YouTube, and poor Sharon looks frail. I know the family live very publicly, but dealing with grief is a whole other thing and I hope they can be allowed to do so privately as needed.

Very busy weekend with the genealogy conference all weekend, but my 13 daughter also got home from Cadet camp last night after 3 weeks! It was her first time away from home more than just a couple of days, and she absolutely loved it! I may be in trouble now. 🙃😆

What a great weekend! I met David (and we share a NL surname in our trees, so we have to discuss that to see if we connect lol). Thanks so much for coming to St. John's @dlgenealogist.bsky.social! It's been a pleasure and an honour meeting you and hearing you speak in person.

First person I spotted at the archives tour this afternoon was @dlgenealogist.bsky.social but didn't get to say hi. And 15 minutes in, I spotted my 4th cousin whom I had never met in person and did get to chat. Great start to #RockBoundRoots!

I have a love/hate relationship with the Retinol commercial using Donna and David (iykyk). Because obviously I remember them, but the audacity to suggest I'm getting older. 😜 On an unrelated note, anyone know where I can stream BH90210 in Canada? 🤔

Sunset last night from Corner Brook, NL over the Bay of Islands.

Very short notice, but we found out this morning that my daughter got accepted to Cadet camp, Sailing in Kingston ON - her top choice! She leaves on Sunday! 😳 Bit of a hectic day today trying to sort everything out! So happy for her! 😃

Off to St. David's Park this morning (11:00) for Memorial Day before celebrating Canada Day after lunch! Who else is observing Memorisl Day?

I have a 🏳️‍🌈 bowtie attached to my dog's harness, and he keeps getting smiles and compliments on it everywhere we go: doggy daycare, pet store, pet expo, and various trails around town. I always overhear excited comments between families or groups of friends about "bowtie" lol. 😊

Daughter, 13, won the Reading award for her homeroom this year. I suspect it's because the library teacher saw her reading Crime and Punishment, lol. Very proud of her!

My babies just finished grade 7. I don't know how that happened so quickly! 🤯

Who is attending Rockbound Roots genealogy conference in St. John's next month?

My photo of Brian Wilson taken 13 years ago today in Toronto. We sang him him Happy Birthday because he turned 70 the next day. And now he's gone. 💔😭

Today's dilemma was deciding which of my four Beach Boys shirts to wear to honour Brian Wilson. I don't own any other band shirts, just them. Chose this one. Solid choice, I think.

Brian Wilson wasn’t just a musical genius; he was a sound scientist. From pioneering studio layering to crafting harmonies that continue to captivate neuroscientists, his work has shaped how we feel music. As we remember him, we celebrate the sound waves, and the marvel behind the vibrations.

I can't even begin to explain how heartbroken I am about Brian Wilson. I've been, well, obsessed really, with his music since I was 10 years old. I have a limited-edition autographed Brian Wilson doll, and every boxset I own is Beach Boys. He literally wrote the soundtrack to my life. 💔😭

😭

13 year old twins have a whole lot of attitude. And as one of them pointed out about me, "Well where do you think we got it from?" Holy hell, I'm living a nightmare of my own creation.

John Hogan wins the provincial Liberal leadership with 77.48 per cent of the points. #nlpoli

As a NLer, I found this pretty interesting.

Same thing just happened in Australia that happened in Canada? Congrats!! 🎉

Merci Quebec! 😘

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party wins election, CBC projects

"Can we keep staying up to see if it will be a minority or majority?"

This election is so important that my 13 year old twins are watching election coverage for the first time. I'm letting them stay up late on a school night, and will let them sleep in in the morning - yes, letting them miss school.

Anyone else having a nap so they can stay up to see the election results tonight? No, just me? 😒

This is a great thread.

Today's timeline cleanse photo.

It saddens me that he's died. He seemed a decent man.

So happy that Rory finally won The Masters and completed the career Grand Slam!

Woke up on a Saturday morning and did my taxes online, and already have my express notice of assessment. I can do nothing else all day, and I will have accomplished something before I even got out of bed.
