Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mask Wearing in the “Before Times” (June 2016)

Browsing my photos, I occasionally come across a photo of someone in the family wearing a mask and it’s weird to think how unusual it felt at the time – when Pace had to go into isolation for a weekend after presenting with some weird breathing (later diagnosed as childhood asthma), when I’ve gone in […]

Saturday Snap – Skater Boy

Pace is really good about walking his younger sister to and from every school but he was clearly excited that she’d gone out to the lake with her mom on Thursday while he wanted to stay out and go with me after I finished work today. “Can I write my skateboard to school?” he asked […]

Eric Carle, Author of “The Hungry Caterpillar” Among Many Other Classics, Has Died

Very sad news. We had a “Hungry Caterpillar” themed birthday when Sasha turned one that was a huge hit – great decorations (mostly homemade or from the Dollar Store), a “Hungry Caterpillar” dress ordered off Etsy, and her (at the time) five year old brother even did a reading of “The Hungry Caterpillar” using a […]

RIP Shane-o (1973-2021)

Overall, death tends to be pretty linear. The oldest people you know usually die first – I suspect grandparents are often the first human deaths most people experience.  Or possibly people of the same generation – great aunts and uncles.  Elderly neighbours. Then, as you get older, the age of those dying, tends to get […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Echo Lake Summer (Summer 2017)

A video I cut of the many highlights of the first year we had a seasonal camp site at Echo Lake Provincial Park.  A year of Covid really makes you appreciate all these little moments – having various family and friends to our campsite, shared meals, laughs around the campfire, sleepovers, meeting random strangers.

Summer’s Getting Closer!

We knew my in-laws were going to pull out our camper to our seasonal site as soon as the park was open to campers today to get a head start on the coming weekend rush. We did not know they were going to dewinterize it for us, get the power going, put the slides out, […]

Now That’s How You Celebrate Mother’s Day!

I have very few photos of the three mothers in my life but I did find this one from a few years ago which seems fitting – both as a day to celebrate and also because it captures how wild and crazy all these ladies are!

Saturday Snap – Priorities For New Fridge

Shea’s parents got a new fridge recently so we ended up with an old one they had (long story but not the old one that was in their kitchen – a different one they had) which they offered for us to use in our garage as a second fridge. We got it moved in the […]
