Birthday Dinner

By

 A game of cards

After supper we have 5 rounds of cards.

Two bottles of sparkling juice.


Kim while opening the second on must of shook it to much. When twisting it off it pops off hitting the roof and to the floor.  We both laugh, not to much, we are slacking in are carefulness by the second bottle.

It's non alcoholic, so it's just the sugar high we are on, we can launch into laughter.

Kim got flowers from her mom and dad. They came over after supper. Kim is in the photo below is Kim with her book she is reading, she got it for her birthday from her in-laws.

My parents are really kind to us, and we visited shortly trading gifts.

We play a few rounds. Dixie is not socializing she went to her kennel and hid.

I wonder if she's not feeling to well.

Maybe a longer walk.


I cooked rouladin, it's streaked wrapped in bacon 🥓 and onions and sweet peppers.  I made extra for left overs.

  Lots of food, the dog even got a slice which I think it was to much for her.  I think she felt a bit sick afterward.

After I went to the grocery store and picked up a card at nine to miss the crowds.  When I got there was only three other cars in the parking lot when I left there was about 15 cars.  

I guess other thought they'd go when it wasn't as busy either.  Getting some sweets for Kim 😋 and a card.  A gift in the the card for her 😉.

Hopefully she enjoys it when she wakes up.  I left it out last night for her by her flowers.

An enjoyable weekend night 🌃😊

Hope your all enjoying your weekend.

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

By
  🎉 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

By
 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

By
 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...
