One of those things is this hike in the country of Georgia!

This is going to be a tough hike!
Our son tells us that we're not getting any younger. And he's totally correct. So we had better get a move on with some of the things on our bucket list that are only going to get more difficult as we age.

Declined due to fraud
I had mentioned last month that I'm going to buy a new phone.
Don't misunderstand though... I love my phone! It's been three years since I bought my Honor Magic 5 Pro, and if not for the battery starting to deteriorate, I would be perfectly happy to keep it.

A gorgeous day at Charleston Lake Provincial Park
We were up early, packed a lunch, and hit the road at 8:30am Friday morning. It was a two hour drive to Charleston Lake Provincial Park where we were meeting friends Bob and Denise for a day of hiking!
And there wasn't a cloud in the sky all day!

A typical day
I hesitate to post when nothing's going on... it feels too much like work, and we certainly don't want to get to the point where writing the blog feels like work. If that ever happens, there will be no more blog!
And really, there's been nothing exciting going on this week... until today.

Not a bad place
I mentioned yesterday that the place we're staying is like a bachelor apartment. And it is, but it's not in an apartment building. I think it was originally built as a granny suite for a family who owned the house.
Now, the house is corporate owned, which had I known that at the time I may not have rented it.

Getting settled in
We've got a small bachelor apartment sized Airbnb for a month here in Ottawa. It's actually set up really nicely, but it's still pricey for what you get. Welcome to Canada, I suppose.
We're paying $1,850 CAD ($1,340 USD) for the month.

It was all about the horses...
This is one of the rare posts from me, Ruth! While Kevin was having a fun time with his friends in Newfoundland, I made my way from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Hamilton, Ontario to visit with my younger sister, Lesley.

We're back!
I think that's the longest blog break in many, many years!
I went to Newfoundland with my buddies for four nights, and Ruth has been with her sister in Hamilton, Ontario. Neither one of us felt the desire to write a blog post... so we didn't!

August Expenses... no real surprises
We had a budget of $3,300 CAD ($2,380 USD) for the month of August, and the total came in at $3,375 CAD ($2,430 USD).
So that's not bad. I always make the budget pretty conservative to give us something to strive towards, so we're almost always over by varying amounts, but this one was particularly close.
