On Saturday, Susan and I headed out to the Obon service at Mt Pleasant cemetary, due to the Pan Am Games it was an hour later than usual. Traffic wasn’t bad getting to and from Toronto. While we were waiting Auntie Margie pulled out an envelope and she pulled out a little toy rifle. She handed it to me and said it was mine. I didn’t remember it, but she said she had taken it away from me many years ago (mid 70’s?) and put it somewhere safe. She also had some other toy figurine weapons that she had. Those went to Mark and Carey. Here is the rifle. I’m not sure what action figure it came from. The marking on it is “Hasbro Hong Kong”. Big Jim was made by Mattel, so it was probably a GI Joe accessory. A quick check on the inter-web didn’t give any answers.

It was a hot one today, here is Chloe just basking in the sun.

A few photos of the gardens.
