You may have already seen the picture on Facebook of Pace doing snow angels in the foam pellets he dumped out of his bean bag chair earlier today. Here’s another shot from that memorable moment where Pace appears to be tromping through the “snow”, a “snow fall” that took Shea and I an hour to […]

Friday Family Link – “They shall not grow old”

No Friday Fun Link today. Instead, as I do every Remembrance Day, I will spend time thinking of my Grandpa Wally who drove a tank in Holland in WWII.  But I’ll also take a broad definition of the term “Remembrance” and choose to spend time remembering my Grandpa Armour who was rejected for service because […]

Saturday Snap – A Week of Proud Moments

On Thursday, Pace got his first stripe in karate moving from a white belt to…a white belt with a single red stripe on it. On Friday, he passed his swimming lessons and will now move from “Salamander” to “Sunfish”… And of course way back on Monday, Pace was easily the cutest tiger on the block… […]

The End of the Canadian Wheat Board…maybe?

Probably one of the best (and worst) things my dad ever did for me was when he didn’t push me to follow in his footsteps by becoming a farmer. My great-great-grandfather homesteaded in 1883, taking advantage of the famous Dominion Lands Act that offered 160 acres for $10 which drew so many settlers to the […]

Saturday Snap – Halloween Comes Early?

I’m dressed as “guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing!” 😉 (I was also going to make a joke about my coveralls being the most orange I saw in Weyburn this weekend but that’s a bit off-side.  I’m sure the NDP have a candidate down here…somewhere!)

Thanksgiving Genealogy

My mom’s taking a genealogy class so we spent quite a bit of time this weekend looking through her class notes, different web sites and reviewing the information she’d already gathered about her family. I’d taken a genealogy class in library school and had done quite a bit of research as well but mostly on […]
