Going out to celebrate my parent's 30th wedding anniversary!
I loved everything from Erin Fetherstons Target line, but I couldn't afford any of it, so imagine my surprise when I saw this dress marked down to $11!

Argyll, a beautiful, intelligent and calm horse, always a hit with kids and parents alike, was the youngest of the Hamilton Mounted Patrol Unit. Tragically after an off duty accident days later Argyll passed away. He will be sorely missed. Sincerest condolences to the officers of the MPU.

Gore Park
Hamilton, Ontario Canada
The Mounted Patrol Unit (MPU) was established in January of 2010 as an operational police unit. The officers receive a Basic Equitation riding course from the Toronto Police Service where they are educated on horsemanship, riding skills and roadwork.
The mandate of the MPU is to offer high visibility policing, crowd management and active crime prevention in the City of Hamilton. The MPU also works closely with the Police Services’ Action Team to respond to areas identified by hotspot analysis that require focused proactive patrol.
The priorities of the MPU are to heighten the Service’s ability to accomplish:
crime prevention
managing entertainment districts
conducting search and rescue
providing park and trail safety
The MPU consists of 5 horses, 4 full time officers and 4 spare officers in order to ensure year round coverage. The Unit deploys 8 shifts per week, covering; day, afternoon and night shifts.
The horses are all Percheron and Percheron-cross geldings which stand between 17'3 and 18'1 hands high (about 6 feet tall at their withers).
The horses names are all historically significant to the City of Hamilton:
Lincoln - In memory of The Honourable Lincoln Alexander, former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario
Griffin - After the Griffin House in Dundas, part of the Underground Railroad
RHLI - Royal Hamilton Light infantry, pronounced Riley. We support our troops!
MacNab - Sir Allan MacNab fought in the War of 1812 as a 14 year old boy, lived at Dundurn Castle and was former Premier of the Province of Canada
Argyll - Named after The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise’s), Argyll honours the close connection between the Hamilton Police Service and the local regiment.

Two spectacular aircraft: a DC-3 (disguised as a C-47), and a P-51D Mustang.
The DC-3 is probably the most dependable airplane ever built, some are still flying after 80 years.
The P-51 was the fastest fighter-bomber prop plane to come out of WWII. They were also used in the Korean War despite the recent advent of fighter jets, with some seeing service into the 1980s.

My parents, watching tv. I saw them holding hands... and I knew I had to take the picture. Just holding hands and watching tv.
I want someone in my life that I can grow old with like that.

A parent n humans, a parent is of a child (where "child" refers to offspring, not necessarily age). A biological parent consists of a person whose gamete resulted in a child, a male through his sperm, and a woman through her ovum. Parents are first-degree relatives and have 50% genetic overlap. A woman can also become a parent through surrogacy. However, some parents may not be biologically related to their children. An adoptive parent is one who nurtures and raises the offspring of the biological parents but is not actually biologically related to the child. Children without adoptive parents can be raised by their grandparents or other family members. ~wikipedia.
