February night walk

  Dog walking night I get walking the dog at night, while talking on the phone with a good friend. Tonight dinner we ate over at Bryan’s house, and had a delicious meal πŸ₯˜. A comfort meal for Kim; ham, rice and corn. Kim’s go to meal to feel good. We are socialized a bit after ward and then I came home to walk the dog. I dropped into shoppers drug mart to get nail clippers for my fingers. I lost my other pair.  So I pick led one up. On our walk, Dixie and I see… A herd of deer, they were on our side but went to the other when we started walking 🚢‍♀️ only to crossed again to be on there side. We as curious as them to us and us to them. Dixie smelling all the spots the deer 🦌 could be smelled never looking πŸ‘€ in there direction. We walked by, but get in a house and a window, Dixie is all barking up a storm ⛈️. I guess Monday and Tuesday we are getting a storm. I’m hoping it’s easier than it is. I’m sort of done with winter πŸ₯Ά, I think we all are unless you’ve been enjoying it ...

Friday February walk

  Three of us go for a walk Dixie was excited to go for a walk this morning, she went with us for two coffee ☕️ and one cup of hot chocolate 🍫. Only cost about $6.00 And a group of us guys walked by Dixie the dog 🐢  We started tracking our walk a bit later than our start. So I’m guessing we walked 2.5 km or even closer to 3km. Wind was a bit nippy but we enjoyed it.  Later in the day the sun started shining and it got nicer out. I 😊 enjoyed getting out of the house my morning was busy.  8:30 to 10 I had visitors over and from 10:30 to noon I was at a social coffee outing.  I got two cups of coffee in me, so this morning I’ve been very chatty. A bit of coffee gets conversational time most the time with me. I just started drinking again in December. A cup here to a cup there so I’ve been drinking it every other morning. On our way back. Sun ☀️ in this spot but the wind πŸ’¨ still blowing a cold February wind.  Which it’s good we walked cause we are getting 1...

Dixie - trixie going for a long Valentine’s Day walk

  Dixie and I walk with Bryan and have tea 🍡 only to walk him home again.  On our way home we met two little dogs name stellar and Luna, I guess they don’t have a solar sun ☀️ dog but she did say Dixie was well behaved when they met and did her tale wag to greet.  There were two female dog 🐢 and Dixie is a female so three females wagging tales and they were happy πŸ˜ƒ. Beside the stellar dog who was four months old was a bit happy. And barking to greet, Luna was about eight years old and much more quietly behaved.  But stellar got some pats. Dixie did her downward dog and acted like a pup but she is four years in march. We have tea in the kettle got me for Christmas πŸŽ„  Bryan and I had Mango πŸ₯­ and  πŸ‘ peach 🍡 tea. Kim gave Bryan some pork cutlets to fry up for supper tonight when we came home for lunch πŸ₯ͺ sandwiches. It was my turn to buy the sandwich today. I got the bigger half, even if I offered it to Bryan he passed it for me. Dixie is supper excited ...

Day before valentine

Storm for valentines steak πŸ₯© dinner I’m out in hailing storm ☔️ to bbq my wife πŸ₯© steak. Since she is working tomorrow we decided to make it a day early. I get cooking some steak on the barbecue. After we have a game of cards She won in one hand.  Making a quick win the last of three games. I still had my five cards πŸƒ I never even got to pick up or play. She won quick.  I dealt and shuffled. Having a Budweiser  It’s zero percent alcohol πŸ₯ƒ  so just for the flavour of it.It is Budweiser 000% alcohol free. Was an enjoyable meal with a near beer 🍺 🍻 they call it. Out in a hail storm and I fixed my fence today Valentine’s morning Kim makes me breakfast 🍳  We have hash browns, eggs, πŸ… tomatoes, cucumber πŸ₯’ and sausages. Kim makes me breakfast and gifts me a Tims  card to go for coffee ☕️ this morning.  A nice 😊 morning, couple good meals.  The table and dishes cleaned up afterward.  It’s a good feeling in the house. 🏑  Kim posted a me...

Walk to get coffee after wind storm

  Bryan and I walk to get coffee ☕️  Picking up a coffee and walking to the fire hall afterward. The walk was decent amount of steps, we had to sit at a few benches afterward. Yet it was a good walk. Wind was not that bad. On our way back we meet an older man with Stanford bull terriers who I waved at, he said we were lucky πŸ€ to have the wind 🌬️ to our back, he was walking directly into it. I told him the sun ☀️ was πŸ‘. He’ll get a good walk back. 6500 steps in an hour and ten minutes. We get home and relax in the recliners after feeling the wind blowing. It’s a good feeling. Bryan walking 🚢‍♂️ Dixie  I tried to take an action photo of Bryan mid walk. He did a good 😊 job walking the extra 30 minutes I asked to lengthen the walk, Dixie did four dirt bags πŸ’Ό doing her business. She had to go bad, I guess she’s been saving it. I took her for a walk yesterday and she did her business then also. Yesterday in the wind ⛈️ storm. The wind blew a few boards out of the fence. S...

Walk in February Wind

  Bryan I get out walking Stopping for coffee. There was supposedly another dog πŸ• that πŸ‘€ looked like Dixie escaping it’s owner. They stopped to ask us if she was ours. On our walk we also saw a black dog running by itself and tried to grab it but he wouldn’t have any of it. He booked it away from us.   Another lady ran to a vehicle πŸš— on the road stopped and jumped in cause the dog scared her. Not ours, ours was on its leash. So in doing this, went went full into the February wind and got wind blown. Enjoying a cup of coffee ☕️ on the bench when we saw the run away dog 🐢  And saw the fear in the other lady running away for him. We tried to call the dog to us. By that time coming home the vehicle who pick up the scared lady drove by us and told us that the dog ran that way. We said thank you as we puzzled if it was the dog owner or the lady who got picked up.  I figured the latter since the owner wouldn’t be driving in the opposite direction. Since I was out I got ...

Steak Dinner

  Kim and I share a meal planning I get the steak πŸ₯© and propane. Kim got the πŸ₯” potatoe salad πŸ₯— and coleslaw  I get cooking the steak πŸ₯© on the grill  After going for a walk. Five minutes each side on low heat It could of been four minutes but I also let it just sit in the BBQ cause Kim was driving home for about five minutes as it cooled down. That would of been the line drawn of still juicy but less raw than I would of hoped. Lots of blood 🩸 on the plate after. So I did a good job. I caved and put BBQ sauce in it. I thought it be fine with out but I only put salt and pepper on it instead of the seasoning πŸ§‚ so I thought BBQ sauce would of been good. Kim loved  πŸ₯° the meal πŸ₯˜. I felt special and now we’re having a game of cards πŸƒ 

Monday the sixth of February

  A walk through some trees 🌲  Walking we stop for 2 cups of coffee.  Bryan and I start talking about buying Kim steak πŸ₯© and lobster 🦞 for Valentine’s Day. She’s having a hard time. And Bryan and I thought πŸ’­ it be saving money than going to the restaurant. I think I might go pick up propane today and get ready for it. When ever there is a nice weather cooperating. Dixie jumps on the bench. We walk a 3.6 km walking around and stopped at Kim and I favourite coffee house. Five dollars for two cups of coffee. I got the second cups and Bryan got the first couple. We’re tired but thinking of making a frozen meal and doing it again.  Walking another six K steps. Dixie is supper happy. I wish Kim and I could do these walks Although Dixie needs two to three walks a day. So if when could share the walking she would be one happy πŸ•  By the fire πŸ”₯ hall. Dixie got to go off leash, she enjoyed a bit of freedom. Not to muddy and a bit of a wind πŸ’¨. Dixie had had a fun tim...

Full moon walk

  I get out under a full moonlight  Dixie and I go for a walk to the gas station and walk down empty road.  Dixie does her dog dirt in the dark spot so I couldn’t even see it. I pick up a pop and a pack of smokes while I’m walking. Another guy wore a red jacket and black pants with a golden retriever.  I had the same out fit. Dixie wants to go for a longer walk than is in me. I had to warm up my hands in my pockets the wind had such a nip to it. A fun walk, made my night that it’s a full moonπŸŒ• tonight. Just myself and Dixie on a stroll around the neighborhood. Here is the moon in this photo, more visible with out street lights on the camera. My walk so far, I am doing good on steps,  I was hoping for 15 k worth of steps today.  I’m even baiting to go back out and get my other five K steps for it.
