Sure, we have three anniversaries but today happens to be one of them so I thought I’d mention it! 🙂 For those who don’t know how we ended with *three* wedding anniversaries, here’s the story… First off, due to the red tape and expense of a legal destination wedding at the time, we chose to […]
I don’t think Pace has a theme song for his grade eight grad today. In my hometown, I went to elementary school until grade six then to high school in grade seven and I didn’t have a grade six grad theme song either (that I remember.). But it’s got me thinking back to my own […]
I was going through some old papers in a box under the stairs recently and came across a folder of articles I’d clipped and saved, long before most articles from popular magazines were available online from databases or from the magazine’s own web site like they are today.

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 […]
Oiler fans in early 2020: “Please let the Stanley Cup be lifted in Edmonton this year!” The Oilers lose to the rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks in the play-in round while *Tampa Bay* lifts Cup at Rogers Place after beating Dallas in Edmonton-based bubble hockey playoffs. Oiler fans last night: “Please let Connor win it in OT!” […]
