June 90th birthday

 


Kim and I go for a boat ride

Go around a lake for a couple hours😊

My brother and his family waked boarded and the nieces and nephew seemed to have lots of fun 🤩 

We went on paddle boards, that’s more my speed with my weight. I do have a wake board but I haven’t used it since my kiteboarding days.


I get out and fell in the water 💧 about three times.  Water is nice temperature and we went for a swim 🏊‍♂️ off the boat a bit later.


We get out and enjoy 😊 some summer fun out side on Sunday.

On Saturday we enjoyed my grandpa playing in a band for his birthday 🥳 .


An enjoyable event,  nice to get a church location to let us use there building.  The church even put up a sign on there billboard wishing him a happy birthday 🎂.  I thought that was very fun.


The aunts and uncles put lots of work into the event, and it looked like everyone had a fun time.  It’s stellar that we could be there for it.

A fun event,

After Kim and I got to the hotel and fell asleep early.  With my meds I get tired in summer heat quickly.


 

Kim and I had fun, a nice get away, we saw her family for breakfast at smittys on Sunday also.


We stayed a extra night at the trailer by the cabin after and was very special that my uncle could set us up for the night.  Made going back on the QEII easier on a Monday morning than on a Sunday Night.


We staying in the trailer is a fun time, fresh air and birds 🦅 woke me up early at about 5:12.  We were on the road by 8.


Kim still has lots of photos on her camera.  I might be able to get them off her in a bit.

Kim took a photo of some big pelicans on the lake.


She tried to make lots of nature shots.


She did take a few photos of the family, with her photography camera.

Lots of the family was excited to get those photos.

And Kim showed them off on her labtop.


Hopefully will get to see family soon again, in travels there or here.

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...
