Grasshopper

What do you mean, will do for now, the donkey makes it a winner for me!

I watched that a little while ago. I enjoyed it as well.

Ohhh, that is very sweet. Thanks Ya, hard day. I thought it might be. Thanks for your kind words.

Throw some icing on and call them cake bits, no one will notice....

Well then you will just have to bake me a new cake, gosh darn it…

Yes, silly, I noticed. Your point?

ahhhh, you shouldn’t have…. I’ll be by in about 4 weeks, save me a piece.

Pop it!

Had a fun experience today while I was out and about. I had this nice couple come up to me and asked if I was the Grasshopper. I said, why yes it is I. They said how much they enjoy my YouTube videos and stuff like that. Made me smile.

Party On! Everyone is already into the sauce so I guess I should get caught up!

Thanks and thanks!! The Canadian Thanksgiving was last month, but I still have lots to be thankful for, and the leaves are pretty!

I second that! Sorry I missed it, Happy Belated Birthday @Slowlycatchymonkey …. and you still have time to mess things up….

Thanks

I am going to try to get into the birthday spirit today. I saw a new bakery/bistro opened up in town so perhaps some cake and coffee would help. Then perhaps a hike in the forest, always good medicine for me. I want to get out for a paddle in the next few days too. Now that I have come to my senses and have decided to not cross Canada with the canoe I only have a few more chances before we depart. I'm already looking forward to going back west for her (the canoe) in the summer.

Thanks, Yep, it's the big 50 today. It sure has been quite the year. I am happy to be where I am at 50 and look forward to the next chapter in life. But to be honest I have shed more tears than normal. It is my first birthday without my Mom. She would always call and sing Happy Birthday to me and be all silly. I feel like I have lost her all over again. I don't want to be sad today, so I will try to get outside for a walk and maybe find some cake for a treat.

Stay Cool!

Yes, close to 25% of the world's temperate rainforest is in BC. The southern half including the islands get the most of it. Makes for a very beautiful and lush landscape.

I couldn’t agree more, speaking from experience. I miss my Honda and would get another. On the other hand I still have bad twitches from my Himalayan.....lol

That is what I have heard and one of the reasons we picked that location in general. Very similar to the weather we have on the Sunshine Coast here in BC. I think we are tucked in far enough, so hopefully the storms will leave our roof be.

I love this old stump outside my window. It has become the base for two new trees, you can see how they have grown around it.

I'm shy about the simple nature of the home, but here is a pic of the land. I love how it is surrounded by trees even beyond the property boarders. ....and here is the backyard view from the house. Looking forward to getting some of my own pics of the place.

It is a crazy big country when you get out into it. I am also hoping the weather through the mountain passes in BC cooperates, not the longest part of the trip but definitely some of the most epic roads I will be on.

I thought Bob's photo was cute, but this just takes it to a new level....lol
