Saturday Snap – My Christmas List (on the First Day of Fall)

Yesterday was the first day of fall but much of Saskatchewan had already received a heavy snowfall and Regina got a sleety-snowy rain that didn’t stick around but definitely felt more like winter than fall. There were other signs that it felt more like winter than fall as well.  When I turned on the “Flow” […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Peet Family Reunion (July 2013)

Music Monday – “Five mile an hour with aluminum side/Wood panelin’ with a water slide/Can’t beat the heat, so let’s take a ride”

Love Our Neighbours!

They’re great year-round but especially during the hottest week of the summer!

Retro Saturday Snap – Prairie Sunset

When my wrist is healed and I’m up to typing longer pieces again, I’m hoping to write a long percolating post about how the Sask NDP can make in-roads in rural Saskatchewan. But until then, had a great visit at Shea’s aunt and uncle’s on Saturday night…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Broken Leg (October 2009)

Breaking my wrist last week means I made it nearly a decade since my last broken bone (and Pace remains equally horrified/fascinated by my latest injury!)
