A 1 in 170984 chance

  After a crib hand of 28. We both pause the game to call our parents on how rare the hand ✋ is . It's a unbelievable hand, one you'd say was placed one would think. Yet I couldn't count it, I had to google to count it. Crib calculator And that's how I counted it.  I had to ask Google cause I new I had a doozy of a hand ✋. After we video chat both sides of parents. It just one point lower than a one in 3 million of a hand ✋.  I guess this one is lower cause there's more face cards. Lucky hand for sure. Kim and I shake hands give  smile.  Usually Kim is more verbal when she losses but this time she was only impressed by it.   I won, I'll let you wondering be wondering if I skunked her.  Or narrowly missed losing my winning.  It was a good game.

Christmas

  Christmas 🌲 ☃️🌲 Merry Christmas πŸŽ„ from our family to yours  As we gathered we made our Christmas 🌲 a bit smaller.  Kim is, missing her own kids.  I'm like we got πŸΆπŸ• dog. We both had to do a rapid test to enjoy Christmas at our inlaws.   I sat by Kim for dinner and we ate enough, didn't over eat but enough. There was lots of food.  We watched a musical and I really enjoyed it. It had Jack Hughman in it.  And some others Kim knew.  I think it would be another favourite to watch.  It was called "the greatest showman." Kim's brothers wife made a delicious desert.  We tasted like a Helly wagon wheel. Except cheese cake instead of marshmallows. We really enjoy turkey and ham meal. Desert and a kiss in front of the 🌲 tree. After we open up presents and I enjoyed the time πŸ™‚ ☺️. At my family we ate. It was small gathering of two couples. A strange Christmas πŸŽ„πŸŽ„☃️.

Tim b¡ebs, and deer

  Tim b¡Ebs and deer 🦌 from my brother. Today I got some Tim Biebs for a snack, from my mom,  While they lastπŸ˜‹πŸ˜πŸ€€.  Dixie got interested in my Tim's and climbs up the Recliner to see if I'll share. Sort of out of my age gap.  I remember watching him as a boy talk on Christian television.  100 Huntley Street.  Way back when younger yawn years. Picked up some deer and brought a box over to my mom's.  I got a roast and sausage.  I don't think the sausage is gluten-free, as Kim will miss out on it. The roast Kim and I will have together. Weather sure change today from all month.  Double digits in the positives then negative digits.  I went for a 45 minute walk with Dixie.  She loved me πŸ’ for a walk.  Although she was acting up at our end of walk on the way back. She'll do some shenanigans, she was pulling out my should the whole walk, so after weights I could feel my arms have some tight spots.   Happy Friday. Weekend...

Lethbridge Gym

  After a 40 minute walk in my morning I get looking up work out tips from you tube. Showing how to do it and how not to, for four or five different exercises.  I have been pretty regularly at doing push ups. About 20 push-ups for 18 days this month. So I go I better look up how to do my list. Googling exercises proper ways an errors happening.  And at my age what I should be doing.  I sort of googled how many squats after but I wrote it down usually to only do twenty. I didn't🀣😁 listen to my notes. I'm pretty tight, even with another 2 fifteen minute walks or a half an hour walks. Dixie and I go walking in shorts and jacket cause my legs were burning up.  Made two walks in this 100 km winds in shorts and my legs were still warm. I got tight I did another 20 squats where I should of stuck with 20 squats instead of 40 squats. I went to the pool side after and did some cool down and warm up. I timed my time in the sauna for ten minutes. I should of timed my time...

Yesterday Dinner

  Out at family, for a lamb dinner πŸ₯—πŸ₯£ with homemade salad. Cake πŸŽ‚πŸ° and sparklers with a plastic sign on top. Kim looks beautiful in this photo, as we pose for a photo after dinner.  It was a remarkable evening.  We played three games of cards, Kim won two and I won once. We ate lots of lamb, save a few pieces of fat.  But I think those are the best parts.   Kim even ate more of her lamb fat she said, that's showing how far she's made to enjoying the fat.  Yet until they make mint sauce with out barley, I don't think she'll try it.  The Smuckers brand is the only real mint sauce. It is really what makes the lamb meal with mint sauce. Cheese cake afterwards, and the ladies sang me a happy birthday.  I got many comments and calls wishing me a happy birthday.  I felt very special for my birthday weekend. Kim and I got to spend more time with each other.  Years go by fast lately. It's how you know your having a good time. Thank you e...

Boston Pizza πŸ•Walking it off

  Out on a walk after a birthday dinner Getting on a walk for a full moon, Dixie and I go for a dirt walk under a full moon.  I had to take a couple photos. It was a pieceful night πŸŒƒ, Kim and I went out on the city.  Ate at Boston pizza πŸ• πŸ˜‹.  Kim got me a sweater and a mud jug.  Since vaping flavor is gone I decided I would use snus or snuff instead.  And a mud jug would make less mess of a habit. Here's Dixie and I beside the HWY for a photo. I wanted to walk to university, but just never got there after picking up Dixie's dog dirt. Heading my way home. The street lamps were harder to take a photograph. Before this walk we went to Boston πŸ• pizza. It sure got busy there when we were leaving.  People were waiting to go in from a crowd to get a table. Kim and I got there at a good time.  My meal was quite big and I took a care package home 😌🏘️ for a meal.  Lunch tomorrow. Kim as beautiful as ever. Takes me out for a meal, a lovely time. I...

November snow storm

  The storm only lasted the morning πŸ™‚ But Dixie and I did our morning walk for coffee, stopping only to take a quick snap of a photo.  While it felt Blizzarding. We pick up our coffee and go for a treat  They're pretty good at giving us treats.   Later near noon, we go and I eat a veggie sandwich, πŸ₯ͺ delicious πŸ˜‹. Got another coffee, did some banking while it seems to calm down from blowing snow. I went to a dentist 🦷 this morning at 7:30.  For a routine cleaning, I had a check up last time I went.   Tried to last an hour from smoking or drinking anything.  To let the fluoride stick to my teeth.  Keeping them whiter. Slowly down on smoking got rid of most my mouth problems, but I do snore that my tongue πŸ‘… feels as leather is. Morning I make sure I have water by my side. Doing a routine cleaning keeps it in good condition. Like a spring and fall oil change, a fall and spring teeth cleaning keeps them in my jaw. It's evening and I fried...

Deer Walk

  A walk where every turn there's deer Dixie and I had to cross- streets. The deer 🦌 were every turn we made.  We wanted to walk the park. The green strips even the road ☺️ where we got charged by a buck. Which is now in our front yard eating our grass. Looking out window, they seem to like in between our two house where they get a bit of a cover from street walkers and have easy commute to the green-strip behind. Was quite the walking, I was surprised cause I was walking head down and heard a charge stamp and looked starring at a buck that was still walking to Dixie and I when I looked up to go. "Opps let's cross Dixie", and went to the other side of our street. At a moment glance they might of been 6 feet reach from the buck when I noticed it still trolling up to us after a stamper. The deer all but distorted our cedar to a certain hight.  Eating all the roughage on it.  I took most it off. It seems they are looking for new growth to eat and I took care of our ced...

Anniversary Getaway

  Eating out gluten free We drive and stop at Aspen Crossing and take a few photos.  We actually like stopping there.  It is a well established and beautifully run business.  We stopped on our way and on our way back. I picked up ten dollars worth of stickers for my Moleskine journal.  We want to support them cause we like using there amenities. We are out at a Italian restaurant. They remember us from last time, and that we're blogging and mentioning them in our groups. Kim's Facebook page of gluten free page is over 500 people last time I checked. As an owner, He said he loved it, that eating out here was a pleasure. Breakfast we never took a photo, was not a franchise but more of a local company.  We ate gluten free there also with bottomless hash browns.  A store called Jam's, enjoyed it thoroughly, as it filled up people were waiting in there cars for people to come in. Also they were turning tables away cause they were full. At our hotel we found...

Halloween Car

  Halloween πŸŽƒ Trick or Treat Today I go buy a battery πŸ”‹ at Canadian Tire and put it in a Mazda 5.  Summer and winter tires. My next vehicle that is waiting to be insured and registered.   Kim is excited, I wanted to buy it for her. We both go to see it as I'm picking it up, she looked at it today and I bought it.  After we got a battery together, which I payed for, I was having a hard day.   A quick bite between stops.   I have slowed down on vaping and chewing tobacco also nicotine gum, even some nicotine spray.  As I'm trying to have better days with out nicotine, some days are a bit more of less use.  Today as one of them. It was stated that if the battery freezes it's because it needs a knew alternator.  And he would take a replacement for an alternator off what I paid for it. Anything else that breaks he wouldn't.  Seeing if our battery will last this first two weeks.  To get it into Kim's brothers mechanical s...

First walk in snow

  First walk in snow I have managed to go on a walk every day of October, some times twice to three times a day. Today I never went til the snow stuck to the ground for our first walk in the snow.  In October, walking around in the snow.  Trying to get Dixie bounce out so she's not up to mischief in the night. She looked a bit sad before our walk so I knew she felt like she missed out today by the end of day. So I ask her to get her coat and we would go. Kim goes your going for a walk, in her high pitch voice that would make Dixie twist in a bounce 360 off the bed. We went just before eight, and I had to go back for my phone so I could blog about it. Dixie smelling a wet cedar We do a few rounds up and down the fence trying to get shadows away from a photo to us on the ground.  A few that I did get a shadow and a few fuzzy photos that I just deleted after. Dixie got excited for some change if weather, and climate change. We went about and did a ten minute walk to a p...

Full moon

  I'm a going walking in a full moon. Took a photo above the 🏠 houses on looking out. Full moon in October and Kim and I go out to McDonald's and get dinner out.  Enjoy our company with each other.  We each have our friends. Lately I've been trying not to horde my friends. Usually I'm the one texting and I heard this video go stop texting first and see how many dead plants you've been watering. So really the lines dead and I don't have many people to chat with.  I got to focus on my weight and getting fit again.  I weight my self first time since August. And I've gained all the weight back from losing it in June and July working. So far this time of month I've walk more than all of August or September. So I'm stepping up. Got to drop and do some push ups more. After I treat my self to all the junk food. I hear all the China toys are stuck at ports in LA or Vancouver.  They can't get unloaded from the huge pile up of boats. This is how I'd li...

Rental car and family unattainable

  Dinner out after we get rental. Kim's working, I have to take Kim's car to the auto shop.  Which I think I'm missing Dixie's feeding and never got back well pass and hour and a half of her dinner. Like I say I don't want a vaccination or deal with tic nonsense and would like an exit strategy like Covid to go with. And Kim says she'll be devastated. Well I never took Kim's car accident well. I actually balded. I say if Kim goes every day if she gets in a car accident will have to get a new car. Small Cars always have to watch for bigger vehicles, I say that's not how it works we can plan a car in spring. With tax return.   But days I wonder what she is acting out saying it would an accident and how devastated I would be from it. When she calls me first of her accident, which no one wants to be in.  Kim trys her best. I feel she's trying to connect with me in some drama of losing someone in a car accident, and I've lost friends like this in accid...

University walk book and dog in tow

  Get walking to read my book on benches, Dixie ontrail sniffing about as she waits for me. I'd stop for ten minutes and read 3-5 chapters.  On total I read several chapters well walking to the university. About two hours and ten minute walk.  I needed the endorphins, I was swelching in my thoughts this morning and needed to get out.  I stopped on the way back for a berry scone and coffee. Read a chapter there also.   I was thankful for many things.  That my grandparents are still around and sending mail and texts.  My sister and her husband are far away on adventures, I missing them often. My brother and his family are on adventures also.  The other day I wore my Oilers shirt and put it out for Kim. Knowing we go early, Kim's parents told my brother to wear his jersey's.  Then her parents out theirs jerseys on.  So nearing the time we were leaving I asked if we could take a family photo. Which I haven't ask to share it on my blog s...

Kim's Car

  As my first response Yesterday accident I think we all can do better even in any house hold when something bad happens to say are you ok. When Kim gets in an accident she calls me first πŸ™‚. So my first response wasn't are you ok. Which am infuriated from all this vaccination, tic nonsense. Often anytime πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚ people deal with life and go lateral is. After I got out of my delay and lag of morning since its on the way to work before 8. "Scare the dickens out of me". The word dickens has nothing to do with Charles Dickens contrary to popular thought. It was a shakespearean euphemism for the devil or hell ...without saying devil or hell. "What in the dickens are you doing?" "I can't remember what the dickens his name is" The guy that goes into oncoming traffic to pass Kim as she was making a left hand turn to her work looks like an addict, and sorry to say everyone that would meet him would feel benevolent if nothing was annoying him in a moment.   H...

Geese fly in and a green kite

  Watching geese fly in and a green kite stuck in a 🌲 tree We go for a walk early. I got upped in Meds again this fall and have gone in 25 walks this September and six walks this October.  Usually I don't eat or I go into a fog hearing my name all the time. I guess I have to expect I'll never be called father or dad and be at the bottom of a math, physics joke with the collatz conjecture never having a infinite divergent trajectory.   I feel like a whole class in grade school is dancing around me going chanting Nigel and I go.  Well yeah in invulnerable speech that I always get myself into with a tics reading books.  I always get slightly stuck in a hot right thinking of 4,2,1 cycle of collatzs conjuncture.  Which if your trying to solve is something wrong with a person. I'm I think pandemic and vaccination and tics all driving me nuts.  Reading action books and when I do have dreams all night.  Which is often never. How's my mood, walking f...

Weekend Sunflower

  🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 Kim and I get looking over our picking of sunflowers this morning. In the weekend we went out to the trailer, cut some sunflowers down.   Dixie ran about all leash free for most the day.  She ran into a dugout and back in and out and ran all over the park. Once she dried off which wasn't that long cause it was windy Sunday.  We went in the trailer. Kim and I played cards with her parents.  Crib, until the niece and nephew came. We then watch those to kids hype up Dixie for a bit.  Dixie had a full drool of all the food dropped.   At the trailer made crisp berry pie.  Kim had peach's.  Cause the desert wasn't gluten free. After ward on our way back we picked up a whole chicken roasted some devil's egg potatoe salad and a sandwich with ice cream.  I got Kim a gluten free cheese cake for Kim at home, so she never felt out. I also was craving cake πŸŽ‚πŸ° after our desert and it was right beside bread when I pickin...
