    A quite night but no rain and still 63F this morning at 5 am, supposed to be cloudy all day with possible Thunderstorms this afternoon. Got a couple of nice walkabouts after I put some chicken bones from our freezer on to make a pot of chicken soup. And while it was simmering away I made a 1/2 dozen blueberry muffins from mix we have.
this was all done by 9 am
a nice easy mix we like
     I need a cable connector for our tv antenna , the cable broke off. It is a smaller cable than the standard RG 56 cable and connectors I need an RG 59 connector. So checked the hardware store in town , Canadian Tire, and Dollar store in Forest, Nope. Then the Source (Radio Shack)  in Forest. Hm they closed only open Mon to Friday 9 to 4, Guess I will try again on Monday.
      Back home for lunch , the soup is ready, so a nice tasty lunch . Perfect for an overcast day.
Tasty Chicken/ Barley soup (Patsie) yummy
            Then at 12 noon I headed into Arkona to check out the parade. Love small town parades! Doesn't everybody ? I parked on a side street and set my chair up at the curb. reading my e-reader until they started.

    It was a fun fast paced parade that last about 30 minutes, and no rain, overcast about 75F comfortable degrees.
    Now back home to get back into our page turners in the shade and then the sun came out for a while. A nice peaceful afternoon. Enjoying this weather we are.
    Then 3 pm Happy Hour and Gerry came over with Tucker and Choco (he is dog sitting Choco for a week), So more doggie fixes for Suzie.

       Another friend dropped by to chat for a while Glen, then eventually at 4:30 we headed into Arkona for the Fish Fry at the Senior's Centre. We always enjoy a good fish fry and it is a fundraiser.
      Got our tickets and I choose an extra pice of fish, wow was this a feast. I did not need it all but did manage too work my through it, was so very good. Codfish it was and pretty well cooked to order.

  4. The parades in the small towns are fun, interesting to see what the town can gather. Dayton has what I call 'The Lawn Mower Parade' to celebrate summer. Lots of floats, choreographed maneuvers, even drag racing. Nice turnout for the fund raising to enjoy the fish fry.
