May your unfailing love surround us Lord, for our hope is in you alone.  Ps 33:22 November was a very quick month.  Here we are moving from spring into summer.  The days are warm and sunny quite often, to a point where we don’t need jackets. Flowers are in full bloom, grass is being cut and the fresh fruits and veggies of November are not what I am used to.  It takes some thinking to switch from November = winter = winter veggies, brussel sprouts, etc to November = spring/summer, fresh strawberries and raspberries, more lettuces (YAY!) and salad veggies.  It’s also very weird to see Christmas decorations in the stores and the city being decorated in red and green, Christmas trees too.

We started that last day with coffees overlooking the lake in Dundurn, SK.  What a peaceful morning.  What a fun drive back to the Kootenays.  The sillyness and zaniness along the way, stopping at the Big Green truck finally.  We talked about growing old together in Patagonia, we laughed about ‘the honeymoon NEVER ends, no matter how old we get’.  Oh how I miss you.  There isn’t a word that completely captures this.  There are so many memories everywhere, and while there are no more new memories to be made together; there are.  Because I see you in so many ways.  You have […]
