Three of the four llamas at the Children's Farm were just doing their thing, and then there was Lacy. She just stood there and stared. I think she needed a reboot.

So, I’m in Vancouver at The Shameful Tiki Room enjoying a drink (or two) when someone walks in and sits down at the bar. I looked over and did a double take because it’s @kevidently.bsky.social. And we’re sailing on the same cruise to LA for the next week. Woohoo!!!! #tiki #vancouver #canada

Our hotel this weekend is right on the harbor. In 1951, this site was the Haas Coal & Dock Co. My great grandfather was a truck driver for them, and he was leaving with a load of sand for Nash (the car company) when his truck slid backwards down a steep incline and into the harbor where he drowned.

Great show tonight, but I do have to admit that I miss the days when it was just Tori and a piano on stage and nothing and no one else. Those were such intimate shows.

While walking around St. John’s, we wound up walking down a street where a film crew was setup. I assume it’s for Saint-Pierre season 3. Sadly, Allan Hawco wasn’t around. Really wish they would line up a US outlet for the show. #saintpierretv #stjohns #newfoundland

St. John’s! Our last stop on this trip across Newfoundland. We’re here for five days, and I’m way more excited to see locations From Republic of Doyle than I probably should be. Duke of Duckworth, here I come. Now just need to run into Alan Doyle and Allan Hawco… 😁

The interesting thing is, I just learned that the park was established in 1962, the same year Dad was transferred back to the states and left Newfoundland. Seems fitting for that to be where a small part of him was returned. 7/7

Made dumpling lasagna, stir fried veggies, and chili crisp garlic bread for dinner.

An overhead, close-up shot displays a colorful ceramic plate laden with a vibrant meal, set against a neutral, light-colored countertop.

The Main Dish: Sitting near the top-center of the plate is a small, white ceramic ramekin filled with dumplings covered in a pale sauce, garnished with a drizzle of chili crisp oil and bright green chopped scallions.

The Sides: To the left, three thick slices of toasted garlic bread are seasoned with minced garlic, herbs, and chili flakes. To the right, a healthy portion of stir-fried vegetables fills the space, consisting of broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and red bell peppers.

The Plate: The plate features a geometric rim with segments of blue, green, burgundy, and orange, surrounding a white center.

I nominated my dad for the St. Peters Hometown Heroes program this year. The banners went up yesterday by the city's Veterans Memorial. He would have probably been both proud and a little embarrassed at seeing himself up on a banner. 🙂

A vertical banner hanging from a dark metal pole against a cloudy sky. The banner features an American flag design at the top with text that reads "CITY OF ST. PETERS HOMETOWN HEROES" in dark block lettering.

In the center is a framed, vintage portrait of a young man in a United States Air Force uniform, including a service cap. At the bottom of the portrait is the official Department of the Air Force seal.

The lower portion of the banner is navy blue, flanked by three small yellow stars on each side of the portrait frame. White text at the bottom reads:
"DARWIN LADEWIG
Airman First Class • US AIR FORCE
1958-1962"

A wide, eye-level shot shows a dark metal utility pole standing in a paved parking lot under an overcast, cloudy sky. Mounted near the top of the pole are two matching, vertical banners honoring local veterans, side-by-side.

Both banners feature a waving American flag design at the top with the text "CITY OF ST. PETERS HOMETOWN HEROES" in bold capital letters. The lower portion of each banner is navy blue, decorated with three small yellow stars flanking a central portrait.

Left Banner: Features a vintage, framed portrait of Darwin Ladewig, a young man in a United States Air Force uniform and service cap. The Air Force seal is positioned at the bottom of his photo. The text below reads: "DARWIN LADEWIG • Airman First Class • US AIR FORCE • 1958-1962".

Right Banner: Features a vintage, framed portrait of Ron Bennett, a young man in a United States Army uniform and service cap. The Army seal is positioned at the bottom of his photo. The text below reads: "RON BENNETT • SP5 • US ARMY • VIETNAM • 1968-1970".

In the background behind the pole, a large green tree stands on a grassy berm, partially obscuring a brick commercial building and a modern apartment complex further in the distance. Empty parking spaces with white painted lines stretch across the foreground.
