Evening Wading

 With my sister,



My sister, Kim, and I go for an evening by the river.

I can hear the thunderstorm ⛈️🌧️ coming in, flashes of light and thunder.

We get talking of foods we miss on certain health concerns.  A&W gets mention and it sounds so delicious.  

I get a quick bite 😜 after everyone's home.

It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.

Leanne is a joy to be around. Wish she would be closer,  Same with Russell.

With Covid never leaving it's hard to visit, or socializing.

Seems when one gets it another day some one else gets it.

Makes visiting these long distances hard to do.  When people travel far from where they are.

Yet were still making the best of it.

Down by the river.


Talk about beauty being a corporate view not a reality view.


I guess my vape fell in the water 💦. I was surprised.  I never even new I brought it to the river in the first place.

But I pull it out of the river 🤣🦄 nothing 🐉 like unicorns and dragons to make a person think mythically is....

Not me who dropped the vape in the water.  The only person using the device in the first place.

I'm not one to say much, besides that's my thoughts always  frustratingly 😣 thinking other people are out to destroy my things.  It could just be me that it fell out of my pocket..

I get those thoughts once in awhile, and as such just have to shrug it off.


Popson's park is a beautiful place

When we started walking back we noticed a baby rattlesnake crossing the path. I quickly call Dixie back to let it cross.  My hands were full so I couldn't really take a photo while I was carrying all the chairs.

But I was looking up the path to see if there was any rattlesnakes and sure enough I spotted one.

After in went into the shrubs we quickly rain pass on the pathway, hands full, Dixie on leash and made it back to the car.


My sister said did you see it first or hear it.  I said I saw it.  

Down at the river you got to have eyes for it.

And at first I thought it was a garner snake 🐍 but then I saw it's rattler on its tail.  Made sure I notified the group by yelling to the dog 🐶🐕 to come back.

It be an expensive dog bill.


Happy evening in the River 🌅😊

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...
