time for a little update

So if this blog is supposed to be about me or at least about what I am up to.  Maybe not people really do not care that much if I change my socks or underwear on a daily basis.  Anyway, I have remained quite for some time.  I think now is a good opportunity as the wind is ripping outside.  Drizzle is sort of happening and I must say that my day was awesome.  It started with a downpour, yep the wind was blowing the rain sideways.  I was not concerned as it was an option in my plans that if this happens I would be able to do something indoors.  No biggie. Well, maybe I am leaving out a big part of the information for my readers.  I am currently doing something fun, I am in St John's NL, east coast of Canada.  This wonderful country amazes me.  So how did I get here you ask?  Lets wind the clock back a bit shall we?

First in spring when cole passed away in our home I was crushed, I did not feel much like posting so I took a break.  As you can see that break was an extended time.  So with that I think some catching up is in order.   Introduce Molly.   Our new gal, I will probably have to do a bunch of updating on her, she has brought the wonderful back in to our world.  Definitely a challenge having a young dog again, also a breed that has a different attitude and temperament.  More on Molly later.

So kitchen stuff, yes the reno's continue.  But the light is coming and we have updates I will do that as well.

Finally summer and all the fun photo stuff I have done.  It was amazing I truly enjoy the photo stuff.  My bank and CFO probably not so much.

Then fall happens, the girl is back at University, year 3, the kid he is in 12 and well it is high school and pressure and so on.  Not sure how he is handling all of it but he is a great kid and will figure out life when he is ready to take things on.

Then hey my better half needs to go to St John's, say what?  I am right there, booked days off work, used airmiles and said lets go early and enjoy the sights.  Yep never been here before but I am impressed.  Now St John's is not under 10 feet of wet snow right now, but I am impressed this is a beautiful city with may beautiful things in it and around it.  Photography abounds, I keep seeing things that make go yep coming back later when the lights are on for a night shot or that would be a great shot from across the bay.  Just never ending.  So I have taken a bunch of photos.  Traci and I spent two wonderful days exploring as much as you can.  I even heard Traci say this is how I see us when we are older, exploring and doing....So love this gal she amazes me.

So St John's small city, small city things, like closed on sunday, closed on Monday.  Not cool when I am looking for things to do.  But since today is a bit wet and definitely windy I am game for anything.  Walked to an old battery on the side of the coast, went up to signal hill in fog and rain, just endless adventure.  I will put some photos up once I get my stuff together which is 1.  get back to calgary and 2. have a minute to edit and post photos.

Anyway, thanks for holding on and waiting me out.  I know this is not maybe the detailed post you were looking for but maybe it is enough to let you know I am here.  Loving Canada on the East Coast and looking forward to getting home and maybe back to reno's and photo editing....maybe.

cheers.
