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 πŸ” 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. πŸ˜ƒ an adorable πŸ₯° 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 πŸ₯ͺ.  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 πŸ“¦. 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 πŸ•, Kim and her friend had to take a care package πŸ“¦ home. 🏑 

They showed each others vehicles πŸš— 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 πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ 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 πŸƒ‍♂️   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 ...

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...

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...
