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 someone else hair in our bed, which we never got new sheets or a new room.  It was to much of a hassle, also if there is no housing keeping at that hour we called and complained.  Then what would make our other room any better.



Were considered old for going to bed before sundown in November. 

We layed in bed and read our books for hours.  A nice get away, from clutter at home, a fine way to spend time on our selves.

I felt like I was homesick away from our dog.

When we went to go pick her up from our inlaws.  She went berserk with her emotions around me.  I had to get on all fours just so she would stop shaking in excitement...

At home about to take her for a walk. Before family dinner.

We got to see my uncle Ron, which he managed to scrap by death's door with one vaccination. Lost 70 pounds while having Covid. We were all worried if him, we visit for 30 minutes. Seeing my aunts and uncles for a bit also.

Were all double vaccinated.

Tina kept saying I had a daughter, she could be in university with her disabilities.  I thought my aunt and wife were going to have an aneurysm, explaining no Nigel is your nephew, he is a son of your brother.  It was a temporary show of experience missing and going over who family is.


We explained no Nigel and Kim can't have kids, and as adults we don't have kids daughters or sons.  

I felt it was great to see family 😁.

We sort of prepossessing to come on short notice, my aunt gave us flowers 🌹 and we stayed longer than ten minutes, but we all gave hugs and were double vaccinated also wore masks the whole time.

I miss my family lots, wish we could see them more often.  It pleasure on both sides ☺️ as we visited.



Now at home,

We are taking a nap.  An adventure in a new vehicle on our anniversary.

Thanks for our card, flowers and gifts to go out and eat.  Our anniversary was special with visiting and your thoughts πŸ’—πŸ™‚.

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...
