Hey everyone! Jean-Luc and Nick here, ready to take you on a ride through the past couple of weeks. It's been quite the journey, with ups, downs, and even a bit of handy work thrown in there! 🚀📝
Adventures in Port Dover 🌈
So, on May 25th, we headed over to Port Dover to visit our friends Lesley and Renee, and stumbled into a Pride event, and let me tell you, it was a blast! We bumped into some familiar faces from Rustic Mama, which made the whole thing even better. The Dover Fishnets treated us to some awesome tunes, and we lucked out with a break in the rain, making it a magical afternoon. Plus, the food scene in Dover is no joke – from tasty Picard's peanuts to funky freeze-dried candies, every bite was a delicious adventure. Even a chill dinner at the Beachouse had us feeling grateful for good company and yummy food.
Our Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation Walk Journey 🚶♂️🎗️
On Sunday, May 26th, we laced up our shoes and joined the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation Walk at the Trail Hub in Uxbridge. Walking alongside new friends and familiar faces, we tackled the challenging hills with determination, all for a meaningful cause. The foundation's story resonates deeply with us – Kelly Shires' courageous journey through breast cancer, her determination to help others, and the creation of the Snow Run to support those facing similar battles. Together, we honoured Kelly's memory and continue her mission of making the journey through breast cancer a little easier for others. Let's keep walking, keep supporting, and keep making a difference.

Reflections on Birthdays and Aging 🎂⏳
Back home, Nick celebrated turning 41, but it wasn't all cake and candles. Alongside the birthday fun came some serious thinking. Dealing with feelings of depression and anxiety wasn't easy, but having each other's backs got us through. Talking things out and being real about our struggles helped Nick find strength in vulnerability. And you know what? Aging can be tough, but surrounded by love from friends and family, Nick realized that age is just a number, and what really matters are the moments we hold dear.
A Triumph in Stove Repair 🔧🎉:
In the midst of all the emotions, we faced a practical problem – a broken stove knob. But we weren't about to let that get us down! Armed with determination and a trusty screwdriver, we took on the challenge. And guess what? We fixed it! Victory was ours as we restored the stove to its former glory. It just goes to show, with a little perseverance, we can tackle any obstacle that comes our way.
Reflecting on Our Rustic Mama Adventure 🌟🎉
We are still buzzing with excitement after our weekend getaway at Camp Arowhon with Rustic Mama. It was a total blast! We taught some step classes, busted out our best moves during line dancing, and chowed down on some seriously yummy grub. Even though we hit a few bumps in the road (literally, thanks to crazy traffic!), we laughed it off and made the most of every moment.
We met some amazing people, shared some hilarious stories, and made memories that we'll cherish forever. And guess what? We're already counting down the days until our next adventure on June 14th at Camp White Pine in Haliburton. You better believe we're ready for more fun and shenanigans!
💪🍏 Getting Back into the Groove 💪🍏
Now that we're back to reality, we're feeling motivated to keep that good vibe going. Inspired by all the healthy activities we enjoyed at the retreat, we're making some tweaks to our daily routine. We're starting with something simple, like waking up early for our step classes and making smarter choices about what we eat. It's all about taking baby steps toward a healthier lifestyle, right?
