Cards game

 Cards, more than a few.


We make these bread bites that taste like Yorkshire pudding 🍞.


Playing a more than a few, I lost track of how many games waiting for the oven.

Kim got an exciting smile when she caught my hand full of cards and she won the game.


We dealt some hands that were over in the first round.  Shuffled to much.  Others that turned out to be longer rounds. Enjoyed the games over and over. Kim let me have the last two bread bites.

I told her these appetizers could go with roast beef and gravy.  They were deliciously to snack on during the game.


Kim and I get playing and she talked nice, is a pleasurable night relaxing.


We turned on the furnace and it's thoughts of spending lots, yet for me I the heat is the heart of the home.

If your one of those who hate the heat bill.


Heat is a gift.

A blessing many years before never were as lucky as we are.

Scrooge parents most likely never had coal only wood.  Most had to cloth accordingly.

Maybe not even wood

Yet the days evening is my favourite with the oven cooking and ✋ doing rounds the dog fully by the table πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‰ Dixie wide eyed, Kim gave a few bites of her bite 🍞 bread.  

I thought it is too good to give to a dog.  I'll get her a meatball instead after this.


Covered the garden, brought in the stain that got worked on here.

Now setting up for tomorrow πŸ˜ƒ.

Another day at work, if I kept over thinking it all weekend.  Labour Day there were road crews on the hwy working road construction on Monday.  Have to get stuff finished for the winter ❄️. 

First frost tonight, that show be the Gamble.  Out with the sheet over the food.  Save it from first frost. Will have to dig it up soon.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
