Today is my oldest daughter's birthday, so Happy Birthday, Fiona! Couldn't resist quickly snapping these sentimental toys for her. They belonged to my brother in England, who died last Christmas, and they arrived by sea just a few weeks ago. Poor Toffee does look really, really worn, and I know he was a much-loved teddy bear. My mother made the little pink velvet piglet and the knitted piglet a fair number of decades ago : ) Anyone else finding it difficult to do anything on Flickr this evening? When I click on an image or something else, it takes forever to open or work.

Couldn't resist posting a shot of this big blue and white Smurf. He was hanging in one of the Midway game stalls at the Stampede Grounds on Tuesday, waiting for someone to win a game and take him home with them, when my youngest daughter and I went down to the Grounds for a few hours. I used to love watching the Smurfs on TV when my kids were young (many, many years ago, ha!).
