The Day We Met

 Kim and I get laughing

By the fire 🔥.  The dog running around picking up her ball 🏀 we are tossing around.


Kim is telling me we met around these few days by.

Kim and I one of the first things we did was have a fire 🔥. Well, I asked her if she wanted to walk my dog 🐶.

After we met at a small grocer we went to BP's and are out.

Then sometime in February, we got to have a fire.

About six years ago.

Tonight we get laughing 😄 at all sort of stories. Thinking of weather that has influenced us and natural disasters that come close.  A real night of sitting by the fire warming up out side. I may not go out to the mountains ⛰️ yet back yard fired are the next relevant effect of it.


Kim and I kept reminiscing and playing ball with the dog.  Now as I finish this blog I better go put the cover over the pit. I'm sure it cooled down by now.

Today I got to chores,

I cleaned out the pantry. Kim got containers at Walmart then said we wanted to get it done.

So I got on that task right away.  Then asked her if she would pick up burgers with the bottle money.

Kim goes for a nap with the dog and comes out just as I finish it up, with a few tips of her own to be place in the shelves.


Thinking we got rid if some half eaten open bags of stuff.  We have lost of gluten-free flour.  Lots of it,  it took two rubber maids and still some ended on the shelf.  

Now I know what your think the dog bowl in front of the pantry.  We rarely have any problems ⚠️ with food and our dog and she is in an eating window once a day.  She is well trained gets walks once or twice a day.  No issues. She usually ask unless really ignored or forgot meal at sustain hour.  It's clock work eating time at 5 everyday.

Trying to do my doodles once a week,

I get doodling then colour it in.  Some of it happen on Friday and the other this morning.  Supposedly doing a doodle is like doing an enneagram.  That it helps with memory retention.

I also finished a book while cleaning the pantry and I know some of you say you can't read books like that but I slowed it down and it happens to seem the same way as reading it.  I found books sure talk slow on regular speed.


My doodle for the weekend we met.  Some lungs and mountain air doodle, which I got invited then uninvited out to the mountains to volunteer. 

 Plans happened to change.  I get that, now planning more meal ideas at home instead.

  And a coffee cup to save the coffee-drinking people each morning 🌞.  During sunrise the cup 🥤 is ready.

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

  🎉 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...

Back in Stride: A Run Worth Celebrating

 After seven weeks of setbacks and recovery, I laced up with Dixie and reclaimed my rhythm—3.64 km of steady effort, heart in the aerobic zone, and a reminder that progress starts with showing up. This afternoon, Dixie and I laced up and headed out for a run while the daylight was still holding on. It felt so good to be back out there after a bit of a break, moving at our own pace and enjoying the fresh air together. There’s something about running with Dixie that makes the effort lighter—her energy and joy keep me motivated, even when I’m easing back into the rhythm. At first, I thought about pushing myself to five kilometers, but I remembered the back pain I’ve been dealing with and decided to listen to the advice of my AI fitness coach: don’t overdo it on the first run back. That reminder helped me focus on the joy of the moment instead of chasing distance. Sometimes the smartest choice is to start slow, and today proved that pacing myself was exactly what I needed. The run en...
