Edmonton 90th

 Edmonton get away

Long over due, Kim and I get up to Edmonton to celebrate our granny 90th birthday.

Granny loves the Queen so there was talk of her reaching  πŸ’― years and getting a letter from the monarch.

A photo with the Aunts and Uncles with Granny and Grandpa 


We go to a new restaurant in old Edmonton.

Having pierogies for dinner πŸ₯—πŸ₯£.  We almost took to long cause we didn't know if we never closed our menu that they don't come to our table to check our order.  We showed 1hr and 1/2 to closing with our reservation and we never closed our menu for the first 1/2 hour.  So we were very hungry by the time our food came.

We stopped at a bakery on our way to Edmonton.

We said we would go again.  It was a pleasant experience πŸ˜‰.


Total Gluten Free Bakery

We got some gluten free muffins (like lemon poppy seed and strawberry muffins and baked pizza bread and garlic bread with pizza sauce  there)

Kim enjoyed the lemon poppy seed muffins, she was surprised. Her first time trying it.

Here we are in Vulcan County

With cyborg or star trek stuff. We stopped picked up snacks(beef jerky) and kept driving up north.  To the train station near Aspen Crossing Train Station took a photo at the tavern and escape room. I think you have to book to get to use it ☺️.

It's never open when we go by.

In our way, favorite out of vehicle walk about

A photo of us sitting.

We catch a couple photos as granny enters the yorath 🏠 house.   A few tables around the room.  


All the grandkids sat at my Granny table.

Granny square dancing friends and lady's night friends all got together ☺️.

Most the room was mingling around chatting with each table.  Is a pleasure πŸ™‚ to meet many people as well as Family we haven't seen for awhile. 

Family members from all over.

Was quite an event, some travel far to visit.


The dog is with Kim's parents this weekend 

Dixie was sure excited to see me when we picked her up.  She sure missed us. just all jumping for joy.

An all gluten free restaurant πŸ™‚ so they brought out bread for Kim and I right away.

We stop on our way out of Edmonton

To visit with Kim's Uncle and Auntie.

Going for an early lunch or late breakfast πŸ₯.


Out to Albert's we enjoyed a meal 

It was only a few blocks away. 

20 minutes from our hotel 🏨.


A gopher museum is exciting, as we explored the town and visited the shops.

We went here cause it was in heart land episode 😁 and they broke in as such in TV.

The show I guess mentioned the floor was donated to them and said they would paint a shop outside for them on the little shop that was the store.
Made an interesting visit and conversation. Kim enjoyed her self, I sort of stopped for her.
Made it an enjoyable weekend coming home.

One of our many stops on our way travels.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ 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 πŸƒ‍♂️   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 ...

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...

Night run 5 Celsius πŸƒ‍♂️

  Night run πŸƒ‍♂️ after work  Dixie and I get running at 11 pm at night.  After work I do a 45 minute run πŸƒ‍♂️ doing 5 km we started at 10:12. It was 5 Celsius outside and I felt warm running πŸƒ‍♂️  I’m sweat πŸ˜“ a lot less than I did when I started I’d be in a full soaked sweat πŸ˜… the last six months I’ve improved 450 plus percent  That’s a good feeling, I’m happy πŸ˜ƒ to say.  Making a difference in my life and how I feel. Journaling, exercising, reading… Hey guys, Uh πŸ™„ I was wondering if any of you had remedies for reducing  Eh um  πŸ˜ cough… The feelings of existential dread and facing and bearing the weight of the crashing realities of life. Do you think turmeric will help?!?! I ask myself is exercise really like meditation where you get brain clarity and pay more attention to books or life. All of a sudden a gym membership looks doable this morning  a February post I go to say. Both is doable.  Life and books You don’t need a gym mem...
