  Kim and I go over to my parents for a game of cards 🃏 and the Lamb 🐑 dinner 🍽️ 


We have a game of Skippo a card game with the four of us.  Enjoy a dinner out,  Kim looks beautiful 🤩 out tonight.  I think the best out of the Christmas 🎄 we’ve spent together.  She has done good for her self this year.


I am about to go for a run with the dog tonight. Kim did walk the dog for a bit before we went for dinner at my parents.

Kim said she loved spending time with my parents.


And was a pleasure to be around tonight!


We had mint sauce that you can’t get in Canada anymore. It’s from years ago when it was still available in Canada.

🇨🇦 


This has been our favourite mint sauce for the longest time.  

I’m about to go for a run 🏃‍♂️ tonight. I might add it to the blog if I get out at 7:30 now I’d like to do 5 km.


Sitting by the Christmas tree 🎄 by the fire 🔥 at the beginning of the night, I asked to take a photo.

It sounds like you had a lovely evening! Spending time with family and enjoying a game of cards over a delicious lamb dinner must have made for a cozy holiday gathering. It's nice to hear that Kim enjoyed being with your parents and that you all had a great time together.


The mention of your favorite mint sauce adds a nice touch to the experience, especially since it holds sentimental value for you. It's great to cherish those little things that make occasions special.


Good luck with your run! A 5 km jog sounds like a refreshing way to wrap up the evening, especially after a hearty dinner. If you do decide to add this night to your blog, it will surely capture the joy of the season and your experiences beautifully.

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...
