Not sure if this was Pace’s first time driving with my dad at our farm but at any rate, hard to believe he now has his learner’s license!

Friday Fun Link – Happy Canada Day?

I accidentally ripped this decoration off a kid’s bike during a Bike Parade for Canada Day at Nickle Lake when my father-in-law and I were trying to work around it to help him get his chain back on. But I feel like this photo may be a metaphor for Canada in some ways too…

It’s Science!

Pace and Sasha are both done school as of today and in reviewing their report cards, I was particularly impressed with Pace’s mark in his Science Final… Come to think of it, this feels like the mirror image of when I wrote a math test in Grade 7, was absolutely sure I got everything right […]

Last week, I mentioned an aunt had given me a variety of old photos she’d scanned. Here’s a great one from my parents’ wedding featuring all four of my grandparents.

Saturday Snap – Uno

Had a pretty wet weekend at the campsite (including a bunch of folding chairs and other stuff getting drenched when a storm blew up unexpectly when we ran to town Saturday afternoon for groceries) But the rain also held off at different points allowing us to have a couple nice fires and even some fireside […]
