I was up at 8am to watch the elimination games between Italy and Denmark, and Sweden against Korea.  Italy then later moved to take on Switzerland in the semi-final and lost.  Korea moved on to give Canada fits again in the other awesome semi-final and lost 9-7 on the last rock thrown by Rachel Homan.  Great curling all around!

The Bronze medal game between Korea and Italy is in the morning and the Gold/Silver medal game between Canada and Switzerland will be in the afternoon. 

Adel, the secretary for our office picked me up at 11:40am and took me to her place to take photos of her father who just turned age 92.  That did not take long, and then I got hooked into taking a raft of photos of her daughter who is turning 11 in a few days, with 3 wardrobe changes!  This is the second time she has changed the parameters on a photo shoot that I am not charging a cent for, and it will be the last....  Then it was 7 hours processing once I got home....  I will show you just a few of the finished products.

The Oilers gassed a game against the Leafs tonight too.

Time for bed.... 

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

I slept in enough to get chores done quickly to watch Canada vs Scotland in curling at 11am where Homan won easily 8-2.

I had 2 deliveries of necessities and I am thrilled with these articles from Temu online.  See the photos below...  The joke rabbit for the front door was under $3.  The bookstand will make my reading so much easier on the hands and arms.  And the motion-detecting under-counter lamp will be so very handy in the kitchen.

And, I finally got delivery of a waterproof bed cover as a precaution.

Then, at 4pm it was back to watching curling with Don as Canada took on the surprising Korean team who was the last team to beat them.  It was a tight tie game right to the 10th end and Korea made good use of the hammer to win 6-5 in a symbolic, but meaningless, game as Canada had already locked up top spot and all the associated privileges.  We can certainly see this as a possible preview of the gold medal match on Sunday...

If it wasn't for the curling and hockey to watch, it sure would make for long days, but thankfully I have found a new favourite author, Nelson DeMille, and I have just begun the second book I have of his.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
