Usually Tiny Desk gets Americana-style artists but this is a pretty fun…
Shea and I are *very* lucky that we decided to keep the house we bought when we moved back to Regina in 2004 rather than sell it and buy something else when I went to library school in 2006 and came back in 2007, just as the Regina real estate market was booming. There have […]

Are fowl suppers a Saskatchewan tradition or a Prairie tradition or a Canadian tradition? At any rate, my friend Deron, has once again posted his annual Fowl/Fall Super Guide. I’m hungry already!

Shea did some digging when we got home and found an announcement that they’d closed their doors very recently but their flagship restaurant, Jack […]
