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 so I marked the photo.

It was a eventual dinner weekend.

Then on Sunday we got lamb dinner 🥗  🐏 and we played 3 games of cards.  I won once, Kim won twice, all games were very close, my mom got close to winning one.  Maybe should of played til we all won one game.  Yet three games is lots.  A fun function ☺️ and the week end was very relaxing.


Monday my uncle which recently got over Covid and only survived cause he had one vaccination, just scrapped by the death door.  He texted me for a first time since he got out and I was thinking of him often. Happy to get a reply to many texts cheering him on.  I got thinking I'd hope to visit soon and go out to a family run establishment, to eat out.

Monday Kim and I go to Smitty's and we read part of a book, plan the week.  I told her she talked lots, as we were paying I said, "it is a pleasure to go out and eat with you Kim."

 I shuddered at my math narrative in giving a tip.

I thought a dollars about for tip but second guessed myself and did a % then realized, I tip in change not up to dollars.  That bugged me going out and I dropped my hat, Kim reminded me of my mask walking out, and I put it on, I was going she told me I forgot my pie. Which I had to go back a few steps for. 

Was quite hard to get out. That. This is... That, okay.

A Thanksgiving special is a big meal.  I enjoyed it but for the meal, I just couldn't fit a pie in me.

Now Tuesday, Dixie and I take a long walk.  We were talking at Smitty's of doing the corn maze, but they never open til noon on holidays.  I offered to walk around park where we took photos.  But Kim needed a nap.  I napped off a big meal and on with laying down and going about a day giving Dixie a small walk but nothing like today.

I decided to go for a two hour walk with Dixie by our-selves, About 5 km.

Look at the long shadows seen in this photo. A beautiful photo shot.


At a University, late grandma always said she would go back to University in retirement but I guess her end of life was just as busy with her adoptive children and family as would of going.

I walked there and thought how great it would be to go back in my 40's or how time flies. A five year old kids say they were born in 2016 and I think that was only two years ago.

Reading on benches are way way more fun than at home, Found a good spot to look out.


It took us all morning we left at quarter to ten and came back quarter to noon.

I'm tired 😫 my feet are tingling and numb. Sort of buzzing if nerves in feet could buzz.

An enjoyed walk.

Dixie is eyed closed and out.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
