Saturday Snap – Catching Up With An Old Friend

A lifelong buddy who now lives in Arizona and who we haven’t seen in years sent me a text that he was back in town for the weekend and wanted to meet for a pint. I was so excited I booked a time with him, completely forgetting that we’d also planned a family supper for […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 15th Birthday Pace!

Hard to believe this video montage I made of pics from when Pace was born is from fifteen years ago! (Also hard to believe it’s my most viewed video of all-time with nearly 50,000 views but I attribute that more to using a Loretta Lynn song than people being interested in pics of Baby Pace!) […]

Did Alberta Just Win The “Battle of Alberta”?

https://www.twitter.com/KatyIngraham/status/1527087671700467714 Pretty big news day in Alberta with the first game of the Battle of Alberta in the NHL playoffs… …but way bigger news with the announcement that Jason Kenney is stepping down as Premier and Leader of the You See Pee party of Alberta after barely passing his leadership review with 51.4% support.

Welcome Back, Aunt Sandi!

For over a decade, my Aunt Sandi has come from Kelowna to visit us for about a month every spring. Obviously, that hasn’t been possible for the last couple years and we debated back and forth whether to do it this year since she has some pretty serious respiratory issues and although our entire immediate […]

Music Monday – “Facing off with gophers/Man it ain’t the same/As being home at the Saddledome/For the Oilers and the Flames”

This song which mentions the Flames vs. Oilers feels appropriate after the Flames heart-stopping OT win in Game 7 versus Dallas which triggers the first playoff Battle of Alberta since 1991… A couple other Oilers/Flames themed songs…

Secular Sunday – I Know I Just Posted This A Couple Weeks Ago…

Saturday Snap – Cleaning Out The Garage

Ready to clean out the garage… Can’t make out the beer’s label?  Yes, I was drinking a “Dad” beer! It’s a lot of pressure washing your garage mats (yes, the beer’s the reason I’m making dad jokes – honest!) 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Little Roughneck (August 2011)

I suspect I’m not the only person in Saskatchewan who has a complicated relationship with the oil and gas industry. I think even people who work in the industry and/or who are pro-oil know that there are environmental impacts (though they will argue about the extent of those impacts – anywhere from “oh, it’s just […]
