an update on Harry Flashman! (EDITED)

Harry always loves our sky pics so i chose this one for him cuz there's blue sky, sunshine, a little snow, Strachan's Brook and some ground melting.

kids - i know that a lot of you have been worried about Harry. but....and i don't know how to say this delicately enough...he's off on a Top Secret Mission. i know that you have all always suspected that he's a spy-man...and i don't know if i am going to get hauled off to guantanamo bay for this post...but if you don't hear from me in a few days...jambaloney will send out the message that i have been captured!

yes - Harry is off to places i am not allowed to know about or he would have to kill me. neither of us want that.

no - Harry is in that horrible of all horrible places - doing his and his wife's and his kid's taxes. buried up to his eyeballs and unashamedly crying like a baby.

ok - you know i like to be dramatic so i'll come clean. Harry is, and has been busy for the past few months taking care of a pile of odds and ends (including his family's taxes) and a whole pile of other stuff that needs taking care of at his homestead. he is going through the period that we go through during the height of summer - during the height of our summer - we are up at dawn, out working "in the fields" til noon or so - then down to the river or beach for the afternoon to get sunstroked, somehow make it home and then crash! not a lot of time for blog posts.

Harry has assured me that he is fine - just busy - and promises to be back when time allows. and he sends his love.

but really kids - he's off on a Top Secret Mission in Siberia, he's near freezing to death, but he goes where they send him. i sure hope i don't end up in guantanamo bay. i don't even have my teeth yet!

EDITED TO ADD: Harry has a new post up peeps check it out here:

Just been dealing with the mundane "bumps in the road" everybody has to navigate. Thanks so much for the wake up call , Kymber. Talking with you got me off top dead center. A person can lose themselves up here in these mountains, thanks for the nudge.

I actually did have a guy offer me a job flying dope into cow pastures in South Florida in 1986, but alas I turned him down and missed out on High Adventure!

PEOPLE - that is NOT the real Harry Flashman who has responded to this post! it is some guy in North Korea trying to throw us off track!

bahahahahah! naw - that's the real Harry Flashman letting all of you know that he is A.O.K.... just busy and such.

and just fyi - i believe Harry took that dope flying job - bahahahahah! no, no, no - he would never do something like that! i just think that sometimes my funny is the funniest of all.

thanks for stopping in Harry! it lets everyone know that you are definitely ok. and remember how much i love you buddy. that kind of love ain't going nowhere! xoxoxox

Kymber, I'm so confused now, ha. It is him it's not him he is off on a secret mission no he's not he is incognito he's doing taxes...the government needs to hire you for a disinformation campaign! LOL!

Glad all is well in Harry's world.

Luv to you and Jam always!

Thanks for the update, I was wondering how he was. Are you getting dentures or implants? I have a couple of implants and they feel just like teeth.

kymber here and talking about jambaloney.

i've always called him my angel. my rock. my best half. the best part of what i have always wanted to become.

he has a soul as big as the biggest mountain, he is strong, he is in incredible physical condition, he is 51 and yet most people think he is under 40. he is humble and modest, charming, gorgeous and will help anyone with anything at anytime. he never grumbles and only every now and again complains or is a tiny bit cranky (nothing that a hug can't fix!). he can cut both sides out of 70 tires in minutes, build raised beds from scrap wood that he drags out of the forest, weedwhack 800ft of our road down to the river, and haul more wheelbarrows of dirt, mulch, rocks and seaweed than is probably medically-advised. he's learned how to braid, make bread and no one makes better rice - not even the chinese. he supports my every, crazy endevour. he went 44 years without a driver's license and got his license after being trained by my crazily-wonderful french canadian friend in 2 weeks. she never stopped talking the whole time. in french.

he has biked everywhere his entire life, at one job he biked 24km EACH WAY. that's to and from! 24km to work AND 24km from work! oh and just accidentally has an honours degree in philosophy.

i believe that he is Our Lord's most beautiful and perfect creation. but i might be biased. he can very accurately shoot a ben pearson cougar re-curve from both the left and right. and his aim is dead on.

he is bow-legged and only 5'7", but has the most incredible eyes. and a tiny mole on his upper lip. he writes the most romantic "insta-poems". he tells me he loves me several times a day. he calls me "babe" and "honey". and he means it.
he loves hot sauce and spicey things like cayenne and banana peppers, he buys (or now picks) me flowers, he left a lucrative, high-paying IT job and his family to follow me here to this remote little island. he builds me shelves and washes all of our laundry with me by hand.

oh and he was baptized Anglican. and was an alter boy. sheesh. somehow, through my intervention, i am turning him into a pagan-christian-fundamentalist-confuscian. look, even i can't figure that out!

the name jambaloney is a nickname that i gave him over 10 years ago. he still uses it. he can be reached at "jambaloney@gmail.com". he loves comments or emails. and he loves me.

if i were given the opportunity to wish one thing for the world - i would wish that every woman on the planet had a jambaloney. i know that i could save the world this way. i have friends who have asked me to clone him. i am trying. believe me, i am trying. one day i will perfect the science involved, and when that happens, i promise all of you a jambaloney.

i love him more than...breathing, lobster, boiled dinner, fresh bread out of the oven, bugging out, singing back up for Madonna (ok...i made that one up!), fresh sheets on the bed, a glass of red wine after a long day, sunflower seeds, lavender, growing my own potatoes, T.S. Eliot, dancing, my babies (who are really just cranky old cats!) and the Bible.

i love him more than i love Framboise Manor. and i really love Framboise Manor.

About kymber

(this pic might seem odd. trust me, it's not. 20 yrs ago kymber went shopping with a girlfriend from the military and bought this dress. then she hooked up with that girlfriend recently. they caught up through email and one day kymberz friend mentioned that specific dress. kymber said she still had it (kymber still has her prom gown for crying out loud!). the friend did not believe it. so we had to take a pic of kymber wearing the 20yr old dress for her friend. kymber always likes to add accessories...and well, we had the bunny ears laying around. ya know, cuz everyone always has pink bunny ears laying around. ok, that's it...i am out of here! jambaloney)

what can i say about kymber?? A LOT!! most of it will have to wait for blog entries ‘cuz i just don’t have enough space here to do her justice…

so i’ll have to do my best… first and foremost, kymber is my partner and i will love her forever. she is the best partner anyone could ever have, i am one lucky guy!! she is 46, she is sweet as can be, smart as a whip, super cute, exceptionally feminine, strong as an ox, honest, kind, empathetic, wise, an amazing dancer, a master wit in speaking and writing….i could go on..i will!

at 5’ 1’’ she packs a wallop – a true force of nature - she is a master gardener and chef and spent 10 years in the Canadian Military – she has done 2 tours of Alert (the north bloody-cold pole). she is a UN-certified Korean linguist and spoils our 2 cats rotten. she also spent 12yrs working in the federal government, as a communications analyst at SolGen (now PSEPC) and Fintrac. she loves nature in the true sense of the phrase..the wildflowers, insects and birds here at framboise manor keep her entranced and captivated for hours.

anyone who is her friend knows that she will stop at nothing to help and heal, dedication and loyalty are an integral part of who she is and she is dead serious about anything she puts her mind to. yet she maintains the most delicate touch and a smile on her face always, never afraid to live and love no matter where and when.

she is the most genuine human being i have ever met! and she has encouraged me to embark on the most crazy and exciting adventure i could imagine… thank you babe - i sooo love you!!!
