The scoop of cookies โ€˜n cream on my daughterโ€™s ice cream cone just fell off and rolled into gravel.

โ€œWell itโ€™s Rocky Road now!โ€ I said.

She didnโ€™t bat an eye. Calmly picked it up, squashed it back on the cone and proceeded onwards.

I love Gen Z. Chaos all around and they just out here LIVING!

I rehung my Ukrainian flag today ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
I checked world news, blinking back hot tears of rage, sadness.
I checked in with my parents; my dadโ€™s in the hospital with a high probability of lung cancer.
I checked in on a friend whose kiddo had surgery.
Took my kiddo to a doctors appointment.
Itโ€™s a lot.

Canada and Denmark share a 1.2 km long land border on Hans Island since we ended the Whisky War in 2022.
So technically we could join the European Union.
