We Walk by Faith NOT by Sight …. 2Cor 5:7   July 5th already.  Wow, yikes, exciting, oh dear, awesome, amazing, nervous, anticipating, butterflies, bitter sweet, laughter, love, joy – so many words to describe the range of emotions that I have experienced this past month.  If anybody finds a week or so randomly laying about, please send it over.  I think I misplaced it somewhere. What a wonderful last month in Canada and in the USA.  I have had the wonderful blessing of spending so much time with friends and family.  My ‘to do’ list was fairly small this month compared to previous (I guess that’s what happens when you tackle the big list with vengeance to get it all done).  I have hiked around Nelson, Vancouver, the Capilano Suspension Bridge; kayaked on the lake; rode the KLR several times.  I was able to have so many meals and coffees with friends and family and say ciao – it’s only two years and it’ll go quick.  I’ve been enjoying the different flavours of spice and even managed to get in some delicious sushi feeds.  One more of those and then I should be good for a couple of years.  There has been a lot of tears.  Bittersweet tears of sadness of what was supposed to be in our minds, and joyful […]

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 […]
