Peaceful Place To Sleep

After a beautiful day of birdwatching, slept at Boundary Bay Airport.  Right beside beach so nice breeze.  Really good.

Boundary Bay Dyke Trails

Love the tranquility.  Smell of the air.  Surrounded by farmland and a nice fresh wind.  Will see how far we get.

A Little Piece of Heaven In My Arms

Stayed at Winthrop Public Library last night.  Awesome.  Right beside river and park.  Tried to rescue a lost dog.  Chased him all over the park with a handful of Costco chicken, but he ate and ran.  Diablo lake was incredible.  Talked to two guys van camping at the reststop.  Nice set up.  What a view to wake up to.

Enjoying The Good Life in Methow Valley

This place has it all.  River floating, bike trails everywhere (same as Fernie, bc).  When I stayed here for a few days some years back I promised myself to come back.  Don't know why I waited so long.   This is just great.  Pearl loved the sun after a river dip.

Awakenings

Hey hi all,

Do you remember a movie from several years ago with Robin Williams called Awakenings?  It was about a bunch of comatose people that suddenly were revitalized.  Well a miracle kind of like that is happening at my dog park right now.

As you know the people I hang out with there are pretty old, and their dogs are pretty old too.  A few weeks ago, Gary and Tizzy came as usual.  For the last year Tizzy has had a lot of trouble moving.  Got to the point where when she stood up she would fall over or stumble as she tried to walk.  Gary was so beside himself that I thought I had to do something.  So I went home and got a large bottle of Glyco-Flex III that Harvey had been using over the years because of his vertebrae disease.  It really helped him and I thought maybe the contents of bottle would help Tizzy too.

Two nights ago, Gary and Tizzy show up at the park.  Suddenly Tizzy takes off chasing and playing with the other dogs.  Not stumbling or falling over.  LIKE A MIRACLE!  Nobody there could believe it.  We asked Gary what he had done and he said he has been giving her those pills I dropped off.  Then another lady comes with her ancient dog and it too starts running around playing.  We asked what she has been doing, and she tells us that Gary gave her a handful of the pills I dropped off at his place.  Astounding.  Then, this morning I am at the dog park and Ginny shows up with her dog that she has been pushing around in a stroller because it couldn't walk anymore due to pain, and it is running around.  Amazed, I asked her what has happened and she says that Gary gave her a handful of the Glyco-Flex III pills, and in about a week her dog started walking.  We're talking crazy here, but totally cool.

Anyway, it warms my heart and tears my eyes to know that a legacy of Harvey is that something of his that was passed along has made such a difference in three, or should I say six lives.  The pup parents are so thankful, and it really is incredible to see the change in these dogs.  It is just a wow thing.

love to all,
Darci & Pearl 💙

Simple Joys

It is so important for all of us just to keep things simple, and prioritize.  ...When I was sitting on my ladder outside today I was so happy to be touching up the stripes on my RV.  It was fun, and every time I stepped back to see the progress I was just so happy this is my home. From the moment I got it I truly felt it was a gift from God.  Just perfect.  For me. 

Then I went out and took a picture of my garden and milled through the leaves looking to see how many squash were growing, and so surprised to see what actually was growing.  Simple joys.

I think that is how we have to live life otherwise things can become overwhelming. 

Sad hearts.  I talked to a friend today and could feel true sadness in her words.  Sometimes we forget to stop caring what others think, and just do what we gotta do to get back to that happy place in life.  Roll back the thoughts to our happy moment and do what we need to do to get back there, or roll forward and change things up so that we can get there.  Either way.

Uncomplicate the complicated.  Recreate joy.  And if it has been a while since you felt it, and forgot when it was the last time you felt it, find a good friend who can trace your memories with you to that time.

Okay, enough deep stuff. Time for a mushroom spinach cheese pizza.  Yum, ...again a simple joy of life. 

Not Lakeside, But Gorgeous

We dropped in at Monck prov Park and got a space.  Beautiful, dry.  Took a long walk.  Pearl is exhausted and I am reading.  Just might finish this book one day. 

Doggon Fun 🐕

Attended a professional dog show today.  People from different provinces came.  So interesting to watch.  At end of first day they had kids categories.  Very fun to watch them show their dogs.

Serious Fish'n Go'n On Here!

Tunkwa provincial park.  Beautiful.  Climbed up a mountain to get to park.  It became clear this park is loved by fishermen.  EVERYONE is on the lake.  Boats and rods everywhere.  Next time, me too.  The road in was through ranches.  Dodging cattle.  But the perfect campground for scenery, hiking, biking, etc.

Love this View

We are sitting on a pullout over Kekuli Bay.  🚖 Couldn't be more gorgeous.  Sun is hitting the hills.  Tomorrow morning will walk the rail trail before taking off.  Love this place. ❤
