I didn’t post this on Mother’s Day so I’ll post it on Father’s Day instead – a woman sneaks into a right-wing mother’s group on FB and starts posting about ICE and children being separated from their families. https://www.threads.com/@theletsnotdate/post/DYLoyAnjU_m

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The First Signs of Dementia (February 2018)
It was during a family trip to Mexico in February 2018 that Shea and I had our first conversations about what appeared to maybe possibly be the smallest signs of dementia. Dementia is a “disease of omission” which means doctors have to basically rule out everything else that can present like dementia before they diagnose […]
Saturday Snap – Busy Bouncing Library
Had incredibly busy day at the Sherwood Branch on Saturday – getting to know a newly hired Branch Manager who was on site, dealing with some scheduling blips, the launch of a new exhibit in the satellite gallery space for the Dunlop Art Gallery, (I’m usually at the Glen Elm Branch on Saturdays so this […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Camp Chef
Pace and his girlfriend spent a few days at our campsite last week solo and it makes you wonder where the time goes…
Saturday Snap – Farewell Aunt Sandi (2026 Edition)
My mom’s sister, Sandi, has been coming from Kelowna to stay with us in Regina for about a month every spring ever since my son was born. Since my mom was diagnosed with dementia she’s ended up spending more of her time in Indian Head so she can be with mom. She’s also been coming […]
Saturday Snap – Saskatchewan Sunset
Always fun to visit my brother-in-law’s acreage (less fun to find a woodtick embedded in your belly the next day – how did I miss that?!?)
Saturday Snap – Meeting of the Minds?
Had a really nice visit with my mom before Shea and I leave for Mexico (twice in one winter?!? What???) tomorrow. Off to Puerto Vallarta for a week and it’s a long story but we got a good deal and have been thinking a lot about how all four of our parents quit traveling earlier […]
Friday Fun Link – How Well Can You Remember Colours?
You probably think you know and recognize colours. But in terms of actually remembering them, turns out humans aren’t really great at it. This site lets you test your ability to remember a specific shade of a random colour by flashing a certain colour for a brief time then asking you to pinpoint it on […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Cuba Cuties (March 2011, Jan 2016)
So fortunate to have had multiple trips with both sets of grandparents – our wedding in Mexico and Dominican Republic with all four of them, Cuba separately with each of them different years and various other locations as well – Mexico, Hawaii, etc. Hard to believe this was 10 years ago… And this was 15 […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Civic Engagement (February 2004, June 2009, Sept 2025)
I feel so fortunate to have grown up with parents who instilled a love of reading, news, politics and community engagement into me from a young age. Whether it was my dad reading the Leader Post from front-to-back every evening or my mom’s involvement on the Board of the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses, I have […]
