Days off, in January

 


Joe and I get out in the blowing wind 🌬️ 

Walking the coulee, I pick up a fruit quencher from toms also a coffee ☕️ for later.

I find coffee ☕️ so hot 🥵 I buy it black cause my tongue 👅 gets hairy when I drink it with cream.

And I can never drink it when I buy it.

So I got a second drink 🍹.


Getting out early hour we saw the sunrise just before our commute.  And the sky was a beautiful set of colours.


Later in the day I get a photo of both bridges 🌉 looking over the coulee.  Wind made my eyes tear up and nose run. Yet I had an incredible time same with the dog. 🐕 she loved 🥰 the walk.


The moon 🌕 disappeared from the sky around 10:09 this morning so we managed to see it before it went away.

You’ll see it in the photo above 👆 between the two guys looking over the coulee since Rita in the west side of the sky this time of day.


So early that the buildings are still hovering the coulee  in a shadow.

Next month will be wondering if the ground hog will see its own shadow and how much winter ❄️ we have left.

That warm wind made all the snow disappear quickly.


A photo trying to get Dixie in the photo but she turned away to look at Joe.

I had a pleasure walking with him, and the dog was full of excitement. This is my kind of fun 🤩 walking the dog 🐕.

She a good 😊 

Dog 🐕 every one says and it’s kind of a hit or miss for what you get.

Happy 😊 to shared this walk with her.

It sounds like you had a wonderful day out in the open! Taking a refreshing walk with your dog, enjoying the changing sky, and experiencing the small details in nature can be really rejuvenating. It's great that you got to take in the beauty of the sunrise and even catch the sight of the moon before it disappeared. And it's lovely to see that you appreciated the time spent with your furry friend. Keep on enjoying those moments and making the most of your time outdoors.

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...
