he's gone back home to ottawa...that's where he was born and bred. a couple of side-trips to england and various provinces in canada...but ottawa is his home. that's where all of his family are.
he goes back once a year for an annual general meeting at a fishing camp that belonged to his grandfather. this year he wrote up a report about the fish in the various lakes. he knows everything about his grandfather's fishing camp...which actually now belongs to his mother.
he loves that lake....how appropriate that it is named "Heart Lake". we visited that lake twice when we lived in ottawa - we have such good memories of our time on the lake.
he will visit up with some old work buddies that he loves this evening, visit his dad tomorrow and then head out to the lake. he will probably do some fishing with his stepdad Ted and his mom. then he will attend the annual general meeting. and then more time fishing with his mom and stepdad and probably his sister too. his brother is the one picking him up at the airport.
then finally on tuesday he will get back on a plane and fly home.
i hope that he has a wonderful time!
he's only been gone for 30 minutes but i miss him like crazy!
Time will fly, faster then the jet plane he is on. I will be praying for his safety during this trip.
ReplyDeleteRob, buddy - i thank you so much for those prayers...sooo much!
DeleteOH geez here we go again. The whining and moaning and crying....
ReplyDeleteAnyway I am on my way to Windsor, Once a year I meet a bud up there to hit all the strip clubs. He tells the ball and chain he is going to see his family LOL.
bahahahaha! I am sorry, but that is funny PP.
Deletethat's it PioneerP - i am coming down there with the *ss-kicking boots which used to be known as "Stephen's *ss-kicking boots". not any longer, buddy - now they are named for you!
Deleteyou remember that i am an ARMY vet - 10yrs buddy - so i know how to curse with the best of them. but let me just leave you with this - YOU SH*THEAD!!!! bahahahahah!
JUGM - Gurlie, i can't believe that you went over to the dark side...with PP no less - bahahahahayh!
DeleteYES!!! She's coming down with the boots On :)
DeleteI knew it would work and I didn't even have to get old pics of Jamby and Photoshop em...
PP, I will admit, that was a good one. Kymber, time will fly by, he will be home soon.
DeleteIt's OK Senior I am safe. My Buddy brought all the credit cards with him and we are running up the balancdkjk.... Opps the brunette moved...
DeleteBalance :)
Senior- i gotta admit i expected more from you, being a senior chief and all. oh wiat - did JUGM put you up to this? okay, i understand now buddy.
DeletePP - i just got off the phone with jambaloney and he told me where the second credit card is.;..you better run and hide buddy! i am coming down there with the *ss-kicking boots - just give me like 12 hours!!! and then your butt is mine! i mean it!
DeleteHah little kymber he didn't tell you were it was he said he thought it was.... errr wait... never mind.
DeleteI got distracted ordering another shot. It's all good /wink
He'll be back before you know it! If fishing is involved you know he will have a great time.
ReplyDeleteDFW - he will have a wonderful time. and he will be able to find me some pomegranate molasses. so all will be well. i just hate watering plants and walking around the house trying to find something to do with myself. thank goodness for other people's blogs!
Deleteyou can always visit me. the rat
ReplyDeletebro - if you weren't 50 million miles away, i'd be there in a heartbeat. hey have you checked last-minute local flights from there to canada? you could come and keep me company!!!
DeleteSounds like a great time. I hope he brings back some pictures to share.
ReplyDeleteMDR - he'll have pics but they will be sucky ones from his phone. but i'll be sure to post them. thanks buddy!
DeleteYou'll make it! :-)
ReplyDeleteMr.Smythe - i'll try. but it's gonna suck!
DeleteI know the feeling. Country Bloke's home is in Australia and there are times that he has to go by himself for one reason or another. Talk about loooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg days and even longer nights!! Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteCGCB - i just found your blog after you started following us! i will use the next few days to catch up on all of your backposts and i will add you to our blog list. and yes - you know too well about the long days and nights - arghghghghgh!
DeleteOh geez louise Kymber! I am with PP. Senior was gone one year 354 days out of 365. In Navy wife life a week is a drop in the bucket.
ReplyDeleteIf I could I would come up and spend the week with you, and we could do our own fishing. and have our own gurlie bonding time...
he will be home before you know it.
So cheer up buttercup! I loves ya!
listen Gurlie - i have always expressed my admiration for military wives but i was never one of them and never could have been! when he leaves me to go to the bathroom i cry! i hate not hearing him bang around in the basement, crash into stuff in the kitchen and i really hate not hearing him breathe in the middle of the night! i turn into a baby when he is gone and i have no trouble admitting it! he is my heart and soul and it is hard to live without your hear and soul.
DeleteGurlie - find a cheap last-minute flight and get your butt up here! oh and you better be able to drive that canoe if we are going fishing - i don't paddle - bahahahahhah!
i loves you too! you know it!
I don't think you want me to drive the canoe. Senior can testify to my boating skills...lol
Deletewho is going to get up at 4am and yell at the ravens????
I know he is your heart.. he will be home soon.
oh dear gawd - i thought you knew how to paddle?!?!?!? okay the canoe is out - but i can get our 22yr old neighbour next door to fix our other boat's motor - but he's gonna need $20 bucks and some beer - hang on let me call a few friends. now get yer butt up here. i mean it gurlie. the whole friendship is hanging on this! xoxox
DeleteIt's hard to be apart but I think it's good for your relationship too. My wife has been up North visiting our kids and I miss her, but I know she is having a good time. It also keeps me from taking her for granted. Not that there's any danger of either of you two taking the other for granted, that's clear.
ReplyDeleteoh Harry - i hate him being gone...but i know that he gets to meet up with his family, take part in the annual general meeting which is really important to him, and see his hometown. so i am happy for him...but man it sucks trying to find things to do while he is away!
Deletei am glad that your wife is up visiting the kids...she's probably really enjoying herself but missing you too!
You guys know what?? Ms. Kymber is all talk and no action. There is no way she can kick all of our asses at one time. LOL She reminds be of the big bad wolf and the 3 little pigs. She will huff and puff and try to blow your house down....
ReplyDeleteSorry kymber you know we all love you. oxoxox.
kymber - Yeah - you'd need some pretty mean boots to kick all of us :)
ReplyDeleteKeep busy - it'll help the time pass. Go on now - go dust your fairies and (empty) cuckoo clocks in your greenhouse.
And anticipation of the "greeting" when he returns will keep you warm...
Dani - don't you worry gurl...i got some pleather over the knee boots...and that's just one pair that i own - bahahahah! i got all kinds of jobs that i have to do while he is gone - they just aren't as fun as when he is here - arghghghggh!
DeleteMy great grandparents ran a fishing camp up in Canada somewhere when they were in their early 30's. Every once in awhile I love to look through those old pictures and see the strings of fish all of which are over two feet long! If it was still in the family, I would fly up to see it every year in a heartbeat. I hope Jam has the time of his life!
ReplyDeleteoh Ed - where was their fishing camp? i would love to see the pics, so would jambaloney! jam will have an awesome time, thanks eh buddy!
Deletehere is a link to my post that I wrote about it and way at the bottom there is a link to the fishing resort. It is in Ontario and named Tall Pines Camp.
DeleteYou mean to tell me he left without me, really. He's going fishing without me....I don't believe this.
ReplyDeleteYou just wait....
dear sweet one...he left without me too...go figure. maybe you need to come up here with you *ss-kicking boots on.
DeleteIt will be okay.
ReplyDeletethanks Warlock. i know if i get myself into any kind of trouble i can yell to you for help!!!
Deletekymber, I got a project for you. I remember you posting your future "Hot Tub" if you can, find one of those Homedics Bubble spas. Powered up the little motor inflates the mat and it bubbles a lot more than most jacuzzis. I got mine at a local thrift store for $7.00
ReplyDeleteI hope he has a wonderful time, as much as I love my partner, time alone is always good for both of us. Try and enjoy it, he'll be home very soon!
