Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “I’m Ready for My Curbside, Mr. Dewey!” (March 27, 2021)

This was one of the last pictures I took two months ago to the day on Saturday March 27, 2021 as Regina Public Library prepared to once again close our branches the following day as Covid was spiking in Regina and area. And just like when we shut down in March 2020 “a week or […]

Eric Carle, Author of “The Hungry Caterpillar” Among Many Other Classics, Has Died

Very sad news. We had a “Hungry Caterpillar” themed birthday when Sasha turned one that was a huge hit – great decorations (mostly homemade or from the Dollar Store), a “Hungry Caterpillar” dress ordered off Etsy, and her (at the time) five year old brother even did a reading of “The Hungry Caterpillar” using a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Echo Lake Summer (Summer 2017)

A video I cut of the many highlights of the first year we had a seasonal camp site at Echo Lake Provincial Park. A year of Covid really makes you appreciate all these little moments – having various family and friends to our campsite, shared meals, laughs around the campfire, sleepovers, meeting random strangers.
