River Bottom days off

 I couldn’t interest anyone to go.


I tried to interest a few people to go to the river bottom but no takers.  I get down there and it’s a different place in Lethbridge.  It’s like a different part of the globe.  I pull out my umbrella ☂️ to keep from the heat but over all I sun bathed for a bit easily to.


Dixie had a blast she socialized with a dog name Axel

As me then two other labs that came down later in this photo.


Dixie would run away about half way and wait for the dogs to run her direction but before they new it they were to far away doing there own adventure.


I got so much sun I practically passed out when I got home and I was asleep 😴 before eight.

I couldn’t take the heat and the sugar Kim got me and Dixie.  She got us Dairy Queen. Dixie loved it even gave me some space after Kim showed her she had ice cream for her.



Kim got a banana split I got a blizzard πŸ₯Ά but after I could barely keep my eyes open.

I layed in bed so the room wouldn’t spin and just fell asleep.


I also didn’t really have any supper with the ice cream 🍨 so that could of been a culprit also.




The river bottom was a great way to spend a day off, to bad it’s raining today or I’d be down there again.  Yet the rain here is a good thing. I could only imagine out east like in Toronto they’d neeed it also on how smoky it is out there also.

Well everywhere as you read that Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Canada 🍁 is on fire.  So more rain the better.

But since I got dizzy and passed out last night from my day I never mowed my lawn and today was going to be that day but it’s raining.  It should lighten up  soon so I’ll be ready for do it tomorrow or in the afternoon 


A beautiful day yesterday 



Dixie one in the water πŸ’§ laughing having a good time.

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...
