Haven’t posted for a few weeks – busy at work, busy at home, camping holidays, some weird blog gremlins that make quick posts a bit harder than they used to be – but wanted to post to let my thousands dozens of readers know I’m still alive and more regular posting will likely resume…eventually. 😉 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)
With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.
