RIP Craig Smith (1972-2022)

I heard some shocking news from my parents a couple weeks ago and saw confirmation from his sister on Facebook a few days ago. Craig and I were only a couple grades apart but, in a small town, two years could feel more like twenty. So we weren’t particularly close in school but our parents […]

Saturday Snap – First Day At The Campground This Year!

Went out to clean up our seasonal campsite and do some work to get it ready before we move in our camper next week. There were forecasts for rain and even thunder showers so we had debated whether to even go or not.  But other than a couple sprinkles, no rain all day – just […]

Some inappropriate jokes and banter here but still interesting to see wrestlers dropping their characters and joking around…

Saturday Snap – Supper With Friends (and Some Thoughts on the World We’re Living In)

Shea and I went for supper with some friends on Friday night and it was good to catch up, compare notes, and have a few laughs after not having done a restaurant meal with people who we’d normally go out with a few times per year before Covid. (We have done virtual happy hours/outside visits/potlucks […]

Friday Fun Link – 1953 Pro Wrestling Match

Fascinating to see how pro wrestling used to be presented… It’s not really fair as a comparison since it’s a compilation of his “greatest hits” rather than a single match.  But here’s a clip of some highlights from one of the most dynamic, innovative wrestlers competing today…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Smile! (May 2014)

I love watching my kids grow but I miss when they were small too…mostly because you could dress them in ways that were as entertaining to you as a parent as anything!

Sasha had her ninth birthday today and though we had a pretty mellow art/painting/Bob Ross theme for our budding artist, as most pre-teens have for years, someone ended up suggesting they do “Bloody Mary” in our bathroom. Six girls crowded in the dark bathroom with the door closed and once I realised what was happening, […]

Friday Fun Link – 2022 Sask Book Awards Shortlist Announcement

I wasn’t able to pop over for the live announcement like I usually do (and with current Covid stats in Sakatchewan, maybe that’s okay too?) But nice to have an archived livestream of this year’s SBA shortlist announcement…
