Last week, I mentioned an aunt had given me a variety of old photos she’d scanned. Here’s a great one from my parents’ wedding featuring all four of my grandparents. So many thoughts and memories looking at this photo – the things my grandparents saw ranging from World Wars to Great Depressions; memories of various […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grandpa Peet in Uniform (circa 1945?)
After missing the last couple years for obvious reasons, an aunt who visits us from Kelowna for a few weeks every spring is here now. One of her hobbies is genealogy and related, she likes to scan and catalogue old photos. She brought a thumb drive with hundreds of old family photos which means I’ll […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 15th Birthday Pace!
Hard to believe this video montage I made of pics from when Pace was born is from fifteen years ago! (Also hard to believe it’s my most viewed video of all-time with nearly 50,000 views but I attribute that more to using a Loretta Lynn song than people being interested in pics of Baby Pace!) […]
Welcome Back, Aunt Sandi!
For over a decade, my Aunt Sandi has come from Kelowna to visit us for about a month every spring. Obviously, that hasn’t been possible for the last couple years and we debated back and forth whether to do it this year since she has some pretty serious respiratory issues and although our entire immediate […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Little Roughneck (August 2011)

The New Corporation – Documentary
It was pretty cool to go to the world premier of an anti-corporate documentary called “The Corporation” at the Calgary International Film Festival twenty years ago which featured a Q&A with the filmmakers after the screening. It’s less cool that this film has an “unfortunately necessarily” sequel released a couple years ago…
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 […]
Friday Fun Link – 1980s WWE Interview Outtakes
Some inappropriate jokes and banter here but still interesting to see wrestlers dropping their characters and joking around…
