Breakfast, walk, writing class, then river bottom

 End of the walk we take a photo Allyson and I 


Breakfast at smitty’s I got a denver omelette it such a large meal and then the morning heat in a motorcycle jacket, I couldn’t eat my entire meal.

 Also the day is full of moving onward.  Life continues and we have a new day with beautiful things in it.  After breakfast 🍳 I go for a walk and see some people I haven’t seen for awhile, I haven’t  attended church besides a funeral for a year well that’s not true. I do watch online frequently but don’t go to services any more.

Later the dog πŸ• and I walk a path see a goat 🐐 being walked which was quite amazing.🀩  I think the goat is more of a social influencer than I am.


A photo over looking πŸ‘€ the water shed.  It’s a pond not for swimming, 🏊‍♀️ so that might not help on a hot day. I was hoping a fire hydrant could be set up for water on the go. But none was available there.

I wanted to get my head and hat 🧒 wet, the dog and I made it home and it’s a lot cooler here

Off to writing class then the river. This blog is queued til then.


It sounds like you had quite a full day! Taking a walk, meeting old friends, observing nature, and attending a writing class all sound wonderful. It's great that you're finding inspiration and connections in various activities throughout your day. 



I’m meet diesel, Memphis and Fergus down at the river today with Dixie. Dixie got to play with these three dogs and had a lot of fun. Met Curtis, He was an owner of diesel and enjoyed his company while he just got off work.  I gave him a fruit quencher peach drink from Tim Hortons. I bought two originally going to give it to Mark down here, but I got down to the river before I went to meet him.  And Mark got busy at that time.

I’m down here on my days off, waiting for Kim to arrive, it’s a beautiful day out just gorgeous a pleasure to be outside right now .


Dixie is done playing ball and she’s sitting right beside me underneath my umbrella and I’m covering her with shade with my umbrella and just sitting in. We’re waiting looking out over the river, watching birds letting the minnows eat our feet and just enjoying the beauty of the outside right now it’s 38° out. It’s just a wonderful time out.





At the end we finish off our river trip to the Observatory.  Talk to Mark and he showed us around.  Chatted for a bit. Mark 😊 showed some telescopes πŸ”­ and pictures showed a library. πŸ“š lots of fun.


After Kim and I stop at sub way and get a bit to eat. 

Now where in air conditioning.


I’ve been outside for a good portion of the day. I had a awesome 😎 day off 


It sounds like you had a really enjoyable and eventful day filled with nature, meeting friends, spending time by the river, and exploring the observatory. It's great to hear that you had such a wonderful day off!

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...

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...

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...
