Saturday Snap – A Cabaret of Legends

Got a free ticket to see a Saskatoon Fringe Play while passing through to drop Sasha off at the SFL Summer Camp and it was an amazing show!

The Five Most Distinctive Places To Live in Saskatchewan?

Saw this posted by a realtor on Facebook…

How exciting to see both Indian Head and Wolseley named among Saskatchewan’s five most distinctive places to live!
Indian Head was recognized for its agricultural heritage, historic buildings and tree-lined streets, while Wolseley was celebrated for its lake, heritage homes and beautifully preserved small-town character.

We already know how special these communities are—but it’s pretty great to see them receive some well-deserved recognition! ??

The top five:
1. The Avenues, Moose Jaw
2. Nutana, Saskatoon
3. Cathedral, Regina
4. Indian Head
5. Wolseley
Based on a survey by the Justin Havre Real Estate Team, as reported by the Regina Leader-Post.

Music Monday – “All this talk of getting old/It’s getting me down my love/Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown/This time I’m coming down”

If you’re in a British band called “The Libertines” and have a lifelong history of battling drug addiction, this is a perfect song to cover in a stripped down acoustic form

Secular Sunday – Noah’s Ark Structure To Be Built At Mainprize Regional Park

Sigh. Just down the road from where we camp.

I guess it might be a good move though

 

Saturday Snap – The Pool Challenge Is On!

If Sasha tells you that she beat me 5-1 in a dunking contest at a Saskatoon hotel pool, just remember that I’m old, overweight, and obliging. 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Garth Brooks in #YXE (June 2016)

Don’t get to Saskatoon often these days but used to go a lot more when we were younger (including more than one there-and-back road trips to go JUST TO GET WENDY’S when Regina which is pretty insane in hindsight!) and when I worked for a province-wide organization (even had a program where I’d go and help small publishers with tech/web site design so stayed in Saskatoon for extended periods a few times – usually living with my sister who happened to be in ToonTown at the time.)

Anyhow, usually when we go to Saskatoon, it means there’s going to be something fun – a conference, a convention, a concert, a campsite and so on.  In June 2016, it was for a little known country singer…
