Green grass and fire

 Part of the lawn are greenery few of the trees are budding.



When I first met Kim it was close to this time of year in January and we had a fire 🔥 then also.  I officially messenger her before Christmas but Christmas was a bit to much and I postponed the date til January.  Took a month to quiet down for me and the late dog Finn.

Weather was good then but I think it was warmer now.

I cook rouladin beef steak 🥩 wrapped bacon 🥓 peppers and onions 🧅 with bbq sauce.  It makes a mess of the kitchen but wow it’s sure good. 😊 I use to like cooking it in coconut oil.







Kim back then having a fire in January. I found a photo from then.

Today is…

Kim and I get out and I have a cigar and a fire. I pop open my carbonated water 💧 and enjoy the fire 🔥 

Later in it I decided to pick up dog dirt. 


Three garbage bags later there filled and in the trash. 🗑️ 

Dog had a barking fest outside she was happy 😃.

Kim plays ball 🎾 with the dog 🐶 and we enjoy the dog sharing the fun.


Dixie asked me to toss it, and I did for a few tosses.

The fire is almost out now and Kim enjoy each others company getting some chores done and playing with the dog.


The fire 🔥 is all but out and ready to be packed up. It’s called a smokeless fire pit cause it has a fan that burns all the particles up before they leave the fire pit.


The embers are really only going til I turn the fan off and they quickly go out after in a few minutes later.

Over all a fun day. Writing class and a walk with the dog by my self and fire 🔥 with Kim.

Such is a wonderful day.


It’s wonderful to hear about your enjoyable day. It seems like you had a good balance of relaxation and productivity.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

By
  🎉 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

By
 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

By
 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...
