Music Monday – “And if I weren’t a flatland boy, I’d say I have a hill/A hill that I will die upon if the climb don’t get me killed/If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride/Maybe I’d rest before I died if I weren’t a flatland boy”

I’m old enough to remember using purple gas on our farm. “Purple Gas” – Zach Bryan and Noeline Hofman

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Little Kids, Little Problems; Big Kids, Big Problems (April 2013)

When Sasha was born, we had a little baby shower in the Outreach Unit and a couple coworkers who had much older kids shared a piece of wisdom I’ve thought of often: “Little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems.” Little problems like teething and dirty diapers eventually get replaced by driver’s licenses and love […]

I told her how, though we didn’t always agree on everything (to put it mildly!), one of the things I always appreciated about her was her deep knowledge […]

Saturday Snap – Happy (Early) 17th Pace!

My aunt is here visiting from Kelowna for a month as she always does in the spring and my sister was down from Melfort working out of her Regina office for a few days so we decided to have an early birthday supper for Pace who turns 17 this year!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fair Haired at the Fair (June 2013)

We loved that a traveling fair used to set-up in the parking lot of a mall near our house every June since it was cheaper, less busy and more convenient than Regina’s main exhibition and fair in August not to mention a great way to celebrate the end of the school year.
