It’s hard to pick a favourite part of our quick trip to Calgary – seeing the pandas at the Calgary Zoo (though gorillas and hippos will always be my favourites), driving past so many of our old haunts (even tried to buzz a neighbour whose name is still on the board at our former condo […]
One of the best things about traveling is the people you meet. I met a young guy from Scotland at the Banff Hot Spring and during our conversation, mentioned my grandmother was born in Campbeltown, Scotland. He asked if I knew this old folk song and I admitted that I didn’t (though I quickly filed […]
Shea and I lived in Calgary for about three and a half years right after she graduated from nursing school. It was an amazing city to be young in with tons to do – restaurants, bar, attractions. As we prepare for another return visit (the first time back since Sasha was born), here are my […]

Every Friday, our campground hides a piece of pottery that’s donated by the Weyburn Pottery Club then posts a clue on their Facebook page.
