Every once in awhile I get that complete moment of appreciation.

            I'm appreciating our home.

On my way back into town today I had that appreciation, starting with the view of a huge chestnut tree that tower's over Redford St. full of blossoms, then the purple lilacs on the corner, everything so green right now. Then I thought about how great it is to drive where I'm so familiar, so at home in this town, so comfortable that I don't have to think hard about what's coming next. 

My next thoughts were about how I've learned to appreciate this? The travel we've been doing over the last 10 years has created this loving feeling of where I'm at home, where I'm completely comfortable in my thoughts, knowing that the next turn will be this, then next sight will be that, that the trees will flower at this time, and sun will be warm, and shorts and tee shirts be the standard mostly from now on till end of summer 🌞😎. 

I'm really not sure how it happened, but the feeling I had was great. 

Watching the Oilers Score their second goal as I peck here, just making it even better. Polly has been saying that watching Edmonton and Winnipeg at the final game of the Stanley cup be great, I agree. Funny how we have as a nation become more patriotic this last while, just taking the thought of Canada a little more serious than before. 

In talking with a few guys today as Dan and I picked up a car he'd bought, as I talked with them I realized people are  wanting to see their teams win against USA team's. OMG, 3-1 Edmonton now, Polly now cheering extremely loudly 🔊

Dan said in our conversation on the way to Naniamo, "Elbows up!" 

Are we saying offensive? Or defense?

Oops, Vegas scored now, the horn goes, like extremely long horn! LoL, everyone wants to win! Someone has to loose for someone to win. I'm really not too competitive, I like to win, but I can take a loss well too. When it comes to hockey, I want my team to win, but of course my team isn't in the playoffs, so I cheer on the next best, unless no more Canadian team's, then usually I stop watching. Hmm, patriotic? I guess I am. 

I'm interested in the fact that Canadian tire has its symbol on the ice in Vegas, yet no writing saying Canadian Tire! Of course I wonder why? Just me, I'm always thinking, Why! 

Anyway, I'll enjoy the spring here, and feel comfortable with family and friends, and sights sounds & smells that remind me where I am and how great it feels. ❤️

Love our life ❤️ even with out traveling.

Hmm

What's Really going on in our world right now? Gazza, Ukraine, USA, these are a few places that I'm reading about, what I'm wondering about is what's really going on? What is the reason for all this at the same time? I don't know, but I believe it is something other that what we are being fed in the info we are seeing reading and hearing. 

Are we headed for a world war? Have we all lost our minds? Will we be able to continue the upward costs of living or be  tarriffed out of what we need to survive? 

Questions many are asking, and thinking about daily now, unsure of what's coming next. I snickered just now, the rooster 🐓 crows one more time, he's not paying any attention to me, or the rest of the world, just keeps crowing, and taking care of the business he knows. Pollys making cookies this morning, she's also keeping her attention on what she knows, oven is on, bowl is full of the mix, soon the cookies be plopped on the baking sheets in order, and after a little while in the oven Voila, 😀 🍪🍪🍪🍪 cookies are hatched! 

Simple acts that continue, regardless the BS that's going on in the world. What comes we'll deal with when it comes, but I always like to have info about what's next in my plan, and right now I really can't guess what's next. 

Sometimes ya just gotta go to the old ways of guessing, flip a coin, spit in her hand, and slap a finger at it, which ever way it goes, that's yer way! I laugh again, who knows. Next question I have is "Is this by Design, do the powers that be want us to be unsure?" Like sheep, 🐑🐏🐏🐏🐑, go where yer led, or pushed? 

I'm not sure, I do know we have a new RV site we are moving to June 1st, a little more permanent, as not traveling to USA this winter, and want a place I can setup my shop that'll be more permanent, won't have to take it down when we leave to go to Grande Prairie in September. 

We will likely take a break from the Winters rains, not sure exactly where yet, but I'm seeing more airlines heading away from USA, and towards other warm destinations this coming winter. Be an interesting year or 4 ahead of us. Could be the new normal, who knows? 

I do know in about 15-20 minutes I'm going to have a fresh baked cookie 🍪, and not long after I'm going to go for my morning walk, then I'll get busy on the planters I'm creating. This I'm sure of, what's coming for us in the future, who knows. 

Poker game tonight, so far I've been donating every week at this game, maybe I'll get a little back tonight. We are invited to our friends for dinner tonight too, that'll be nice, a visit, dinner, then poker! I call that a perfect evening.

Love our life ❤️ that I'm sure of.
