I would like to take this moment wish all of you the very happiest holiday season. No matter what you celebrate - I hope it's a joyful time with loved ones.
For those following along, we arrived yesterday with my lovely mother in law. It was a very long 4 days - very emotional. The drive yesterday was brutal. 13 hours of winter conditions through the mountains. But it's done and I am blown away with how well my MiL is handling everything. Packing away a few pieces from a house you've lived in for 27 years cannot have been easy.
Thank you all so much for all of your words of support. I will be back to my usual posting/faving/commenting in the new year!!

Wishing each of you the very Merriest Christmas and Happiest New Year EVER!!!! You all are very special to me and I treasure the friendships I've made here!!!
One more time, please enjoy this beautiful song!!!

The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span. Wikipedia

This perspective was captured by boat.
The wife of the person in this image is an artist and is painting this photo for their home.
If the truth be told, the man in this photo is checking messages on his cell phone, but don't tell anyone. lol
Location: This home is located on a point, where the south arm of the Alouette River intersects with the Pitt River.
Along this stretch of the Alouette River are various other float homes, stilt homes, boat sheds, net sheds and abandoned boats. An artist's dream.

Nautical me
Is this not the happiest looking Porsche 356 you’ve ever seen? I expect that’s because it’s almost time to go racing.
This man never leaves my side. He's the one person I can tell absolutely anything to and helps me work thru it with love and patience. Being with him I am the happiest I have ever been in my life.
Having fun with Rory....... thank you baby :*
if only Miley could see us now! 😂😂😂

People are drawn to both light and water. The combination relieves stress, clears the mind and soul and brings a complete sense of peace.
To me, including the lone silhouetted tree just seemed to seal the deal and ground this scene as well.

"The happiest people I know are not those who find their golden ticket; they are those who, while in the pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments."
~Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Sunday.... All in all... a good day. I ran my 5K. I didn't meet the goals that I set for myself... I came ever so close to one of them, and I know that not meeting it was my own fault... it was within my control and I blew it. But, it's OK, I was out there with alot of really good people. There's always next year and I'm running this one until I get it right (a recurring theme in my life... have you noticed?).
Family, friends and coworkers that supported me turned in a $1770 donation to Special Olympics and I am so proud of them for being Super Heroes! 💥(THANK YOU! 💐)
The rains that were forecast held off so that we didn't have to stand out in the rain waiting to start. ☁️The cold temperature was perfect for running. My Disney princess sneakers were super comfy (although not magical 😔). I forgot about how much my shoulder has been hurting for the entire day. It was my second best LTC 5K run. 🏃♀️
Then I went to work and probably had far too much to laugh about.... but it is a good thing when you discover your purpose in life... and mine, at least at the workplace, seems to be to supply comic relief (at my own expense) Hey, I'm OK with that too! Yeah... all in all a good day! 👍💕😊

Have been taking so many pics today, even though I was sweating so much because of the heat. Took even a BJD group shot. I was a week away from home and missed my dollies sooo much :D
