Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 10 Horrifying Things I Saw Watching Family Home Movies From the 1970’s

As previously mentioned, we went to Indian Head to celebrate my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary last weekend.

My dad regularly filmed holidays and parties and family gatherings with an 8mm camera when we were kids so, when […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sold! (October 2019)

It feels like a lot more than a year ago that our offer on a new house was accepted.  But the truth is that it was only a year ago this week that it became official. At the time, who knew this new house would become so much more than a slightly newer, slightly bigger, […]

Saturday Snap – Divided Family?

‘Tis the time of year when lawn signs spring from the ground for the provincial, municipal and school board elections (why are school boards elected but not library boards?  Topic for a different post I think!) Anyhew, had a chuckle when a neighbour noticed our signs – one clearly for the NDP but the municipal […]

Saturday Snap – A Delayed Housewarming Gift

My parents dropped off a very cool housewarming gift the other day – a Century Family Farm plaque our family received on the 100th anniversary of my great-great grandfather homesteading our family farm in 1883 – framed in barn boards from that same farm.

I was very fortunate to have parents who loved traveling and growing up, I got to travel […]

Music Monday – “Four years old/Riding that new bike/No training wheels/Holding on real tight/Oh baby/Everyone falls”

Not sure what it means when you’re getting music recommendations from your mother-in-law but that’s how I first heard of this singer who also happens to be an RN that my mother-in-law worked with prior to her retirement. Also important to note that this video has some scenes shot at Nickle Lake Regional Park where […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Minot Wal-Mart (April 2012)

With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]
