Henderson park walk

 We get a walk with Dixie today


Walking around Henderson park, the large trees give lots of shade. And Dixie had her water 💦 bag so she got a drink of ice water at the end.  She chewed an ice cube and had a fun time.



Puppy 🐶 


We met a lively pup 🐶 named maple 🍁 and he had huge 🐾 for being a puppy.  The size of Dixie’s feet 👣.  At fifteen weeks he’s going to be a big dog 🐕.


The puppy owner new Allyson from the university and I gave each puppy/dog a half a treat. Although I think they were a bit hard for puppy treats maple took some time chewing threw her half of the biscuit.  Dixie was well behaved and shared her half a biscuit with no issues.

We get talking between the three of us, if we ever ate dog biscuits.  I said I had and it was in the last decade and a half.  Lots of fiber, and pretty bland food 🦴.


🐉 dragon boats 🛶 

In the background, we take a few photos in front of shore of the pond.  Allyson is a good contributor to conversations, asking “which position we’d like to be on the boats 🛶.”  Bryan goes I’d like to be the drummer.


I think I may have a photo of the drummers 🪘 

🇯🇵 drummers 🪘 are incredible, I used to build there drumming sticks at ability resource centre in the wood shop. And they come and play the drums for the society.

Although they supposedly go through the drumming sticks quickly. 🫤 where they’d get there drum sticks done now? Since ARC wood shop is now closed.  


Found a photo of the drummers 🥁 


As we say fare well, and drive to pick up cold drinks 🥤 and food.

Our last photo before we sit in the shade.


I think 🤔 it got a bit hot out for us, Bryan didn’t bring a hat so it was short than ideal. But the dog was getting hot also and need to sit in the shade for a bit.  A fun 🤩 walking group.

Now where back in the backyard going to eat filipino spring rolls.


I am thankful for Bryan today, he drove me for our walk cause my car is in the shop mechanics getting fuel injectors replaced for a cylinder.  So I am car less.  I think I could survive with out a vehicle.  I’m thinking of selling it soon after I get it fixed for a good deal. I’m thinking $2000 to $3,500

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...
