PEI, here we come!
We're headed to PEI in July (yah-hoo). In anticipation of
our journey, Heather is working on a difficult, 1000 piece, puzzle of Green
Gables. Here is a picture of the puzzle. Notice anything odd?

Royal Canadian Mint
I am not a coin collector, but I certainly admire many of
the “original designs crafted by Canadian artists, that the Royal Canadian Mint
produces as some of the world's most stunning collectible coins.” I also like to slightly modify coin designs
by such things as: removing predatory animals, colouring, adding content,
removing content, and stylizing. Also interesting is the Haunted Canada Brakeman (2015) shown below, which features spectacular lenticular technology that masterfully tells the chilling tale of Vancouver's headless brakeman.

The Cardinal
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, The definition
of Cardinal is:
-a high ecclesiastical official of the Roman Catholic Church
who ranks next below the pope and is appointed by him to assist him as a member
of the college of cardinals, or
-a crested finch (Cardinalis cardinalis) of the eastern U.S.
and adjacent Canada (including Nova Scotia), which has a black face and heavy
red bill in both sexes and is nearly completely red in the male.
Although Ulgedook Cottage is a retired church, the first
definition is irrelevant given its previous Wesley United religion. The second definition is more relevant to me,
not because I'm a bird-watcher, but because it was the image on my drinking glass
in my parents cottage over forty years ago.
I used the cardinal glass, and my cousin Laurie used the blue-jay
glass. Since then, I have adopted the
cardinal as a bird that I relate to.
