Family reunion 2024

 Going to a trip up to Edmonton for the weekend 


Kim and I stop in Lacombe gluten free bakery 🧁 to get some treats for Kim. We take a break at a park to wait for the family reunion to start so we get at the right time.

I had a delightful time with Kim and it is a pleasure Kim could drive the entire time. Usually I’m the one driving to Edmonton and it is a nice change being a passenger.


We stay for one nights and getting back Sunday.

Nice to see family, we ate burgers 🍔 for supper there and we had a fun time.


We saw my grandparents new place. A pleasure to get coffee in the morning. Usually visit my grandparents we don’t get coffee cause they are aging but now the place has their own barista who serves us coffee.

I was happy. 😃 an adorable 🥰 place for them, the building looks wonderful designed. I think I may order them groceries so they can wait for those goodies, made Icecream with syrup and some some sandwiches 🥪.  Maybe a nice treats waiting in there new place would be a conversation started waiting for them.

Or a bag of nuts and dried out fruit from the bulk or pre package 📦. Treats coming in the delivery 🚚 is so much fun to wait and I think my grandpa would have fun getting this delivered.

I’ll have to talk it for parents today.

The family reunion was need some time to decompress the night but , the next day was way better than I would’ve imagined.

I had more fun seeing my grandparents next day cause they were in such a great mood. And seeing there new place is lots of excitement.


Happy for seeing there adventures


Today we sit out front to enjoy the sunshine and get ready for our day.

Dixie stayed with our in-laws and she was very active m. So that was a joyful exchange of time. I could share my dog to keep her active minutes up. The is so much more behaved with active minutes.

Although she didn’t sleep well with the change, it is still very much appreciated that she got to to stay with the in-laws on our trip.


We ate at a truly Italian restaurant with Kim’s colleague.  A delightful meal. Cost $67 for both Kim and I.


I ate my whole pizza 🍕, Kim and her friend had to take a care package 📦 home. 🏡 

They showed each others vehicles 🚗 they just got in the last year.

Her friend talked books with me which was lots of fun. I got a couple book recommendations to say we’re reading the same thing next time we meet.

I thought it was fun outing and a pleasure to meet Kim’s colleagues.

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 ...

A fawn born on our yard

A baby fawn was born on our lawn and it’s trying to warm up in the asphalt I’m guessing it’s still warm. We’re trying to give it space hopefully it mother comes by so we’re staying inside. I just went outside for a smoke and it crawled under the vehicle 🚗 lots of people are walking by it not noticing it then others are stopping.  Quite the thing to see. A few hours old… it’s still wet with mucus on it. With Kim’s super camera zoom is we could see Fish and wild life say to call in 24 hours if animals are left by moms  So we’re hoping people leave the fawn alone.  Although it’s a super cool 😎 thing to see. I think it hoofs are still soft from being born that’s why it’s staying put since it went on that hard surface till it’s hoofs Harden. It crawled on its knees after the side walk and just hunkered down for a bit. Two hours from first spotting.  Still there hiding under the vehicle 🚗 it kind of a good spot of course there’s better picked spots but it’s half and hal...

Bryan and I ride 21 km plus 20 Celsius

  Bryan and I ride for 21 km’s A cooler day than other days so Bryan and I cycle through Lethbridge. I manage to do three PR’s today (personal records) And won a badge for climbing 500 feet. 👣  Here we are at chinook lake, on the north side of Lethbridge. I was mostly in the aerobics zone for my cycle a bit of threshold and easy cycling 🚴‍♂️ also. Averaging speed 13.7 km/hr Max speed 43.7 km/hr Move time was an hour and a half but with breaks and bench sits it was two hours. Bryan in front of the wolf 🐺 statues. Back at Bryan’s place taking a breath from cycling over to Bryan’s house 🏡  The hill was a bit difficult 😞 but I manage to make it up.  My laps are here below and my relative effort this week shot way up for the trip. Made my week better, I thought I was going to be below my relative effort and not make my weeks score.  Yet I’m way above average for my score. Looking over the river valley and taking a break at a bench. Wow, it sounds like you and Br...
