Yes, you may have my scallops. I’ll even melt the butter for you! 😁

I’ve got my sidekicks again, Bixby and Gilbert. I had to put Gilbert in his kennel for about an hour and 15 minutes while I went to my eye doctor appointment. I could hear him yelping as I left the house, and o could hear him yelping again when I returned. Hopefully, he didn’t cry the entire time I was gone. I don’t think he did because Bixby would’ve been a nervous wreck from it, and he was his happy self. He doesn’t have to stay in his kennel when I leave because he’s potty trained and well-behaved. Gilbert is getting there, but he’s still safer in the kennel because he wants to chew on EVERYTHING, even if it’s not his.

When I was in college, the wisest piece of information I was given by one of my elementary education professors was to make friends with two people in your school, 1. the secretary and 2. the custodian because they are really the two people who are in the know and who really run the school. Having taught in two different school systems, I wholeheartedly believe that wisdom! I’m so glad custodians get their own special day. I already knew that secretaries did. I just wish I would’ve known that when I was still teaching!

I haven’t named my expedition, but years ago, I had a Ford Escort that I named Ernie. I hope my Expedition doesn’t feel bad! ☹️

I didn’t have any scallops when we were in Victoria, but I did have some seafood. A friend told me about the best fish tacos she’d ever had. It was about 10 years ago she said, and they were from a food truck on the waterfront there in Victoria called Red Fish, Blue Fish. When we were there last week, I told my hubby about it. He looked them up, and they’re still there! They aren’t in a food truck anymore. They’re actually in two renovated storage containers like the size on a semi or railroad car and they’re right on the wharf in Victoria. My hubby and I both had the fish and chips (French fries). Mine was cod. Hubby’s was salmon. It was the best fish I’d ever had! The batter was delicious and just the right amount of crunchy after frying. If I ever go back, I’m definitely having lunch there again. Hubby loved his too. 😋

Sending calm, quiet hugs, as I’m the only one awake now. Bixby wore Gilbert out and vice versa. They’re sweet hugs though, just as sweet as Gilbert and Bixby are! 🤗🤗🐶🐶🐟💖😘🍁🍃🍂
