4004 and Nana

It was such a nice today for a leisure ride. On our random route, we decided to swing by my old stomping grounds. Was curious to see if our old house was still there. And to see what has changed in the neighbourhood. Turns out nothing has changed! I even got a chance to see Nana! Our longtime neighbour. Such good people, Sam and Nana. She was really the entire blocks "nana." She looks exactly how I remembered her... and that's 10+ years ago! And she even remembered me! Too bad Sam had a stroke and is now in a long-term care home.

We had a good long chat, updated me with all the blocks residents. She got a chance to me Lina and Persephanie too.  Awesome. It really made my day.

A little bit of me is sad as I really hope this wasn't our last meeting.

Pure Joy

What you see here is pure joy. At its essence.

I'm convinced that 4 years old is the BEST age to be at. At least in a first world country. There simply is no better age then this. Just look at this pic. Simple things in life are so beautiful. 4 years old. Old enough to eat by yourself. Old enough to go to the washroom yourself. Old enough to learn adult concepts and apply them to the real world. Comprehension. School is the best at this age too. Preschool is all fun and games and snack times! Come next year, there's studying and homework. All of a sudden there's gonna be some responsibilities. I'm sure it'll come to her as a shock.

Just moments after this shot was taken... while I had my back turned for a minute.. Persephanie made a snow angel on the ground. No regard of the dirty ground nor the dirty snow that gets onto her jacket. That's the life!

New haircut.
