Tod Mountain Ranch

What a great place this is.. had to laugh my sister decided to go for the weekend to this horse ranch, and of course when she asked me this was over 2 months ago I was feeling great... So when I looked up this "dare to live the cowboy dream" I was all in.. couldn't wait..
So I got back from Australia.. sitting on a plane for 15 hours which I might add was brutal, on the back.. been seeing my chiro since.. and wow.. thank goodness for that. So here I sit.. well attempting at least, in this amazing lodge.. overlooking the sun peaks mountains.. gorgeous area. Saw a bald eagle yesterday, literally perched on top of a pine tree. Yes pics will be added later seeing how I am posting this while still on location. Sadly the back seized up last nite and I opted out of the 2 hour ride, the wrangler Steve said he would take me out this afternoon for a short ride, just to see if I can handle it with the back.. and if I can.. we may stay out a bit longer.. sweet guy!

The morning ride just left.. got some great pics of the horses.. we did take a walk on those same trails they are on right now, ran into a few deer.. literally..
think they spooked us more then we did to them.. haha

Dinner was amazing, Silas runs a tight kitchen, the man can cook, and cleans like theirs no tommorow!!! All the people here are sooo helpful and kind... everything is available.. beer, wine, pop, you name it...they got it..
Breakfast was poached eggs and bacon with of course coffee. The furniture here is all log .. I am in heaven.. of course I joked with Tracy... and how the room will be empty..taking the bed, lamps and anything NOT nailed down.. she giggled.. but somehow I think I may be searched before we leave.. LOL

pics to come!

CANUCKS RULE!

I love the fact that the BC hockey team has made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs.. I have to admit I am tired of hearing my American friends tell me how they have our cup.. its about time it comes home.. Needless to say those same friends really don't want to hear how most of the guys on those teams are CANADIANS.. hey just saying!

so tonight game 1 of the playoffs.. and exciting game.. makes me wanna go get a jersey.. I love being a FANATIC.. and yes.. I do it well.. my nails have the glorious blue/green colours.. and heck if I could find someone to put on the logo.. I would.. was even thinking about colouring the hair blue!.. but then some would call that CRAZY.. not like I haven't had weird coloured hair before.. (pink and purple) yeah.. and punk was SOOOO not in then... okay I will quit my ranting for now.. and like I said in previous posts.. I have some catching up to do with pics of my last vacation..

Stay tuned... LOL

My feet are getting itchy...

I started this in October of last year.. sadly I did not finish it.. so I won't edit it.. just add at the bottom.. so here it is...
Not only that but it's starting to get a bit cooler up here where I have decided to lay my head..ya...I call it home.. for now..one thing I have learned.. is it's all temporary..I mean who knows what will come down the line in a year or two.. face it.. we hope that we will stay planted.. we make the plans to be rooted..and yeah that's all good.. but I def want to see some more of this big amazing world! I think that's why I am getting a bit itchy.. and then too doesn't help that I started a new job.. so I feel a bit stuck.. funny when I think about that though.. I usually get a bit restless I guess you can call it.. having a boss that calls the shots.. takes a bit getting use to..I have been spoiled..
anyhoo.. back to my travel plans.. first what I think I need to do.. is learn to live LIGHT (it has nothing to do with wanting a big screen tv)..haha..meaning.. can I pack only one bag..and whats a necessity.. funny how when I say that this list comes to mind..and I know there's no way that's all gonna fit in one bag.. unless its one of those gianormous bags..

So funny thing about this job I had at that time..still doing it.. I was doing taxes and had a great time.. lots of learning which I am always up for.. and funny enough.. it also allowed me to take that much needed vacation.
A two week getaway.. flew to Australia.. now for some real blogging..

North... or almost north?

I am as north as I can get... for now... who knows.. maybe in a month or two.. I will have ventured further... north.. and maybe west.. I know that life is way too short.. and can be taken way too serious...not that you shouldn't think things thru but what I mean is.. don't over analyze every move you make.. sometimes moving in one direction may feel like a completely wrong thing to do..but its in the movement that one learns.. and as long as your learning and growing .. and experiencing.. how can that be wrong.. I look back at some of my choices.. and I have to say.. sure.. there are movements I regret.. but then.. if I didn't make those.. I wouldn't be where I am today.
I know.. brilliant.. hey.. LOL.. ya.. that's me...
I need to remember... there may be choices that I made that make me feel regret, but how can it be bad.. when clearly I am exactly where I need to be.. question is.. for how long??

which way is up??

saw something the other day.. posted on a status.. every which way but loose.. made me chuckle.. cuz I remember the orangatang in that film.. loved it.. brought me to my next thought.. and that was an old burt reynolds film... well I say old.. its not that old.. smokie and the bandit.. my mind continues to wonder.. as I try to harness what it all means.. or at least trying to make sense of the direction this brain wants to go..

thoughts.. north.. fast.. quit monkeying around.. ya.. amazing how this works.. needless to say thats not the order it came in.. but .. it got there..

so I found myself online.. looking at my sisters pictures from my summer visit with her.. I was there a couple times in the summer.. due to my mom's health..no worries she doing ok.. but to go back and see these pics.. the feelings that I had when we were taking them.. the exhileration.. all came back.. I guess the reason why the thoughts of those two specific movies was because when I saw those films.. I thought how much fun they must have had making it.. and wonder.. when the actors/actress view it again.. do they have those same feelings to.. or.. was it just a job..

I don't want my life to become a job.. I want it to be an adventure.. something I can look back on and feel the exhileration and excitement..

tomorrow....
