Grandpa’s girl Genie has gone off to join the circus this summer. (She is actually working Guest Services for North American Midway Entertainment, but joining a circus sounds so much better. 😂😂😂)
So far she has been doing her usual best of working hard, taking pride in her work, enjoying her job, and saving the bulk of her paycheques for another year of college courses. She texts every Sunday morning and so far her only downside has been home sickness (being a total home body 😯) and at times being overly busy with guests, guest, guests! (Did I mention she was working Guest Services? 😂)
I asked Genie to send me a few photos from her travels that I could share here. I’m not sure if it is because this is the Calgary Stampede or if it is just her typical love of animals, but she does seem to have a theme going here.








Genie will be off to Edmonton in a few days. I’m anxious to see what her focus will be there. Their annual exhibition is called Klondike Days so we might see some gold.👍
Following Edmonton it will be Buffalo Days in Regina! I’m not sure how many buffaloes we will see but there will definitely be updated photos of Molly and her favourite human.

That’s it for today. We finally had a good solid rain last night – with thunder and lightening. The risk of more of the same has finally passed so it is time for Molly and I to venture out.
Take care and have a great day!
Great photos, she certainly loves her critters! It’s amazing how fast Molly is growing up, wow!

Thank you, Carol Anne. It is an experience for her for sure but she works most of her waking hours so I I don’t know how much ‘fun’ it is. 😉

I’ve heard of the Calgary Stampede! Love all the photos especially the horse. 🤩 Molly is growing up fast! It will be fun to take another photo similar to compare. Your granddaughter is so pretty and looks like she’s having a great time!! ❤️

Recording the progress of Molly up her favourite human beats pencil lines on walls

I enjoyed these photos Anne. I love animals and like seeing nice photos of them. I hope you will get to do that shot again, Molly will be so much larger, she is growing like a week in a garden. 🙂

Thank you, Diana! The Calgary Stampede is a pretty big deal. I’m sure people with livestock have heard of it around the world. Genie has always been pretty, sweet, and much stronger than she looks. 😉

That is for sure, Derrick – as long as Genie doesn’t have some late onset growth spurt.

Thank you, Mags. Genie would never come back without making this one of her first stops. This wasn’t her second home growing up – it was her other home. 😊💞
