Inside Out

Guess who I went to the matinee with on Sunday ... Silas, Debbie and Ella.  We saw INSIDE OUT.  It is the newest Pixar movie to hit the screens.  Rotten Tomatoes gives it 5 Stars and I concur.  It was excellent although I do believe the story must have been a little too complicated for youngsters.  First of all they have to understand that the movie is giving feelings a human-type form and live inside the head of the little girl.  Then they sort the feelings by short and long term and use them in REM sleep.  May have been complicated for the little ones but I enjoyed it.

First of all, for yesterday, Sunday June 21 - Happy Father's Day to all you Fathers.  I had a lovely dinner of bar-b-qued melt in your mouth steak and glorious salad at the Rudolph household to celebrate the occasion.  I sat beside Emerson who gobbled up 1/2 of my steak.  (I cannot believe how much those babies eat!!!), but I was glad to share.

Also, Happy Summer Solstice for yesterday as well.  Now, unfortunately, the daylight hours will be getting shorter but on the plus side, summer is here!!!!!

And for today, June 22, Happy 2nd Anniversary to Brooke and SR.  

There.  Got it all in.

Just sharing the price of gas these days.  It doesn't take long to turn the prices around now that summer is here.

We have a lot of forest fires in the Yukon now.  Just heard on the radio that 77 new fires started on Saturday, 15 of those in the Whitehorse area.  Above is my current view of Haeckel Hill from my kitchen window.  This was taken a couple of days ago at 9:30 PM.  You can see the sun trying to show itself and still it was quite a bit above the hill.  The smoke is misting all the scenery.

This is the latest map that is published - June 17.  You can see all the fire areas in the Yukon at that time and as stated above, we have many more.  Apparently Alaska is burning up as well and there are many air quality advisories in various towns there.  

Above:  Haeckel Hill, 10:30 PM, June 21, 2015.  I never tire of the light.

Today the twins turned 1.  Yes time does go quickly.  Happy Birthday Emerson and Alanna!!  Brooke and SR had a dinner to celebrate the event.  Alanna looked so pretty but it was difficult to catch a picture of her.  She and Emerson are constantly on the move.  And I should add quickly on the move.  Rachael finally caught her and I took a quick snap.  We never did catch Emerson.

The first time they had a birthday cake.  One each.  And two candles, one for their age (1) and one for  Good Luck - doesn't everyone do that?  The singing surprised them, as you can see.

After the candles were blown out the eating began.  This is the first time they have had SUGAR.  Good luck with sleeping tonight.

Then it was present time.  They went for a spin or two on their new Cat Loader and Princess Mobile.
