Very fun 1000 pc jigsaw puzzle of Agatha Christie with objects reflecting her life and stories. Included a poster that gave her biography and pointed out all the references in the illustration. Did you know she loved surfing? 🏄🏻‍♀️ #puzzle #bookstr

Love the lakeside boardwalk in the next little town. Everyone says GM as you walk by. #vacation #lakeside

1. Raspberries and tomatoes from the garden 2. Farmers’ market cherries, a variety developed locally #foodstr #homegrown

GM!!! Saw a lenticular cloud on the walk to town. So exciting as I’ve only seen photos of these. 😍 #clouds

GA! Little town flower basket Appreciation Note. Back in BC. Mom’s doing well after her hip replacement surgery and relieved to be home. Two more weeks of easy movements then the physio starts. 🦾 #blooming #flowerstr

Sketching the accessible bathroom of our hotel room. 5⭐️ for the shower bench, wall bar, and ability to use a hand-held shower head. 3.5⭐️ for the law-defined 17” toilet (regular is 15”) because it’s not high enough for my mom at 84 years old and definitely not high enough-post hip replacement surgery. 5⭐️ for Amazon Canada for delivering a toilet cushion* riser seat the day Mom was discharged from the surgical center. * use the search term “cushion” if you need a toilet rise that uses straps/suction cups/etc to attach to the toilet seat vs. something that replaces the toilet seat and has to bolt onto the toilet with hardware. #sketching

Mom’s back at the hotel after her hip replacement surgery. Doing very well, and up to a bit of jigsaw puzzling. 🧩 #familytime

Me: where’s my Fourth of July doodle? Google: IP says you’re a Canuck. Support your country in the World Cup, eh? 😮‍💨 Happy 250 American!!! 🇺🇸🗽🎇

GM! Sketching the hotel room while I wait for the call to pick up Mom from the surgical center. Her hip replacement surgery went well - had a call from the surgeon and the nurse yesterday. Mom’s got a morning physio session, a set of X-rays, and then I’ll get a call. #artstr #somewhatpatientlywaiting

GM - taking my mom in for hip replacement surgery this morning. Should go fine: she’s healthy, only has one half-pill medication, and wants to get this done so she can hike the mountain and tend to her garden again. ⛰️👩🏼‍🌾 Photo: the hotel facade outside the window #photostr

Got some great photos from the airplane this morning. ✈️☁️ #photostr #clouds

GM! from Mr. Bumble on his daisy. #blooming #beestr #photostr

Final entry for the June contest by @The Bullish ₿itcoiner Weather app says 50% chance of rain. What do you think? #blockamatic #photostr #clouds

First jigsaw puzzle of this trip completed! 🦅 This came to us via the puzzle group, so someone had already finished it, and separated the pieces into 3 parts. Usually Mom and I mix everything together, but we left the pieces segmented and did one part at a time because we only had a week to finish it. Even parsed into segments, this was a tough puzzle. Lots of little wingtips and similar colors and patterns. #puzzle #familytime #birdstr

@Ben Justman🍷 - my mom has 3 grape vines and we found these on one of the vines. Do you know what they are?

New animal sighting on this morning’s walk. I knew there were deer on the mountain, but this is the first time I’ve seen one so close to the road. It was far more interested in the Saskatoon berries than me, so I walked past and by the time I came down the same way, it was gone. #proofofwalk #deer

#artstr accomplishment: filling pans with my 24 tubes of Qor watercolors. Now to have some fun swatching! 🫟🖌️
