(Belated) Saturday Snap – Giant Checkers

Having a fun day at Nickle Lake’s activity shack (which, almost unbelievably, they chose to call “The Beaver Shack” during a contest last summer!) However, it shall always be “Nickle Make” to me after the name I submitted! 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Miss America (March 2009)

Happy (?) Fourth of July. I think I’ve mentioned that Shea’s and my “mini protest’ after Trump was elected was deciding not to go to the USA – mostly because of him but also because I just found the USA to be increasingly at odds with my personal values in general – from the gun […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First & Last Day of School (September 2018/June 2019)

The last day of school is the perfect day for Throwback Thursday. I love how Sasha’s face changes from resignation and uncertainty in the first picture to utter joy and relief in the second. (And even Pace’s near-teenaged face has a hint of smile to it today compared to September as well!) 🙂

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Tragedies like this simply don’t need to happen. Please give if you can…

Putting The “Bin” In Cabin

A husband and wife who are retired farmers decide to convert the grain bins they can’t sell into very unique rental cabins. I wasn’t much of a farmer growing up but I did shovel out a few bins in the summer, often in extreme heat (if it’s hot outside, it’s *extremely* hot in the bin) […]

Happy Father’s Day! (Or is it Happy Twins Day?)

Some people use DNA tests to confirm their ancestry but the only thing I need to do to confirm my father and I are definitely related is to show up to a family event wearing the same clothes as my dad!  Isn’t fashion sense genetically inherited??? 😉 All joking aside, Happy Father’s Day to the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Farewell Aunt Sandi! (May 2008)

For the past few weeks, we’ve had another good visit with my Aunt Sandi who comes out from BC every spring to spend time with us. Here’s a shot from one of her first visits the year Pace turned one…

Saturday Snap – The Best Part of Camping Without Daddy?

Shea and Sasha went out to our seasonal site this weekend while I stayed in the city to work and Pace stuck around to play video games visit his Aunt Sandi who is visiting from Kelowna. Shea sent me this picture and said Sasha told her it was the best camping ever because “daddy isn’t […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Multi-Year Fence Project Finally Finished? (May 2014, May 2017, May 2018, May 2019)

We’ve been replacing our forty year old original fence in a series of mini-projects over the past five years. We started with the back part of our yard in May 2014 which was a major job as the neighbour directly behind us (no back alley) is at the end of a crescent on a pie-shaped […]
