Saturday Snap – Happy Fourth Birthday, Pace!

Although I’m not as obsessive as those folks who take a picture-a-day of themselves or their babies, I have tried to take a photo of Pace every few months and now every year.  I didn’t plan it this way initially but now always include an Oscar the Grouch doll we bought him when he was […]

Friday Fun Link – Don’t Say Gay…

…say “Takei” according to Star Trek’s George Takei who is taking on a controversial Tennessee law by suggesting people could use his surname as a replacement for the word “gay”. (via MetaFilter)

“Daddy, You Need Mommy To Give You ‘Talking Real’ Needles!”

Four years ago, I never imagined that I’d be laying in bed tonight with my perfect, wonderful son, having this conversation: “What am I made of, daddy?” “You’re made of lots of stuff – bones and muscles and skin.” “And what else?” “Well, did you know that most people are mostly made up of water?” […]

The Jokes Just Write Themselves… (NSFW)

“The closest the Sharks will get to any cup.” “The best twins at the game tonight.” “Two for cross-checking.” “Gives new meaning to ‘Sin Bin’” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf0KJrT0Odk (via Reddit)

OldManSearch: “John Stewart Jew”, “weather indianapolis today”, “cold toes”

A young man claims to have set-up a Twitter account for his 81-year old grandpa after telling him that Twitter is a search engine like Google. These are the search terms the Grandpa is (supposedly) entering. I suspect that this will turn out to be a hoax (and I hope so – some of the […]

Music Monday – “Just take a look at these crow’s feet/Just look/Sitting on the prettiest eyes”

We got back from our trip to Calgary last night but after unpacking and doing a few things around the house, I didn’t get around to posting.  But I’ve decide to backdate this post on Tuesday to yesterday so I can do a Music Monday post as it connects pretty directly to our trip. We’d […]

Music Monday – “I used to come here when I was six/When everything hurt and I felt sick/There is something about the colder air/That made me feel better than anywhere”

We’re off to Calgary from Wednesday until early next week so it may be another blog holiday depending on how busy we are and what my Internet access is like at our various ports of call. In the meantime, here’s a song from one of my favourite artists I discovered when we lived in Cowtown.  […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Apparently I don’t have any pictures of me with my mom on my computer. So instead, here’s one of Pace and his Grandma when we stopped by the Indian Head Union Hospital on our way out of town during a recent visit to Grandpa and Grandma’s. Technically, my mom “retired” from nursing a few years […]

Saturday Snap – Katepwa Beach Flooding

With the amount of moisture we’ve had for the past couple winters and last summer as well, much of Saskatchewan is experiencing the worst flooding we’ve had in forty years.  Katepwa Lake, north of Indian Head, where our family has a cottage is no exception.  Last weekend, Shea, Pace and I were out to do […]

Friday Fun Link – Rate My Politician

There are all sorts of sites that allow you to rate various things connected to your life – your teachers, your professors, your workplace, your doctor, your neighbours (oops, appears to no longer exist).  And now, a site that allows you to rate your politicians as well. Most of these sites are based on anonymous […]
